Chiropractic for Hip Pain: Mobility, Balance, and Core Support
When your hips hurt, everything feels harder — walking, sitting, climbing stairs, even sleeping. But hip pain isn’t just about the hip joint itself. Often, it's a sign that something deeper is out of alignment, and chiropractic care is uniquely positioned to help.
🦴 The Hip Is a Powerhouse — But Also a Pressure Point
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint built for both stability and range of motion. It supports your body weight, anchors major muscles, and connects to the spine, pelvis, and legs.
Hip pain may come from:
Joint degeneration (like arthritis)
Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
Pelvic misalignment
Tight hip flexors or glutes
Muscle imbalance from poor posture or inactivity
Referred pain from the lower back or spine
🔍 Chiropractic Evaluation of Hip Pain
When you come in with hip pain, we assess how your spine, pelvis, and legs work together. This includes:
Evaluating posture and pelvic tilt
Checking hip mobility and range of motion
Assessing gait (how you walk and move)
Palpating the SI joint and lumbar spine
Muscle and strength testing
Looking for compensations in knees, feet, or low back
Pain in the hip doesn’t always start in the hip — so we follow the chain until we find the true cause.
✅ How Chiropractic Helps with Hip Pain
Our goal is to restore alignment, balance, and strength in the whole system — not just where it hurts.
Treatment may include:
Pelvic and spinal adjustments to improve alignment
SI joint mobilization
Targeted muscle release (hip flexors, glutes, piriformis)
Stretches and strengthening exercises
Foot and gait evaluation (especially if one leg appears “shorter”)
This whole-body approach ensures long-term relief and a stronger foundation for movement.
🌟 A Balanced Hip Means a Balanced Life
Your hips are more than just joints — they are central to how you live, move, and feel. Chiropractic care can help you restore proper function, reduce pain, and get back to the activities you love — from walking pain-free to dancing with your kids again.
Don’t let hip pain keep you from moving freely. Let’s get you back in alignment.
