Restore Hip Mobility and Alleviate Pain
Hip pain can make walking, sitting, and even sleeping uncomfortable. Common causes include overuse injuries, sudden impacts, and degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. Whether it's a labral tear or bursitis, hip pain can limit your mobility and daily activities.

Anatomy of theHip
Anatomical areas in the hip that are most often injured:
- Hip Labrum: A ring of cartilage around the hip socket, can be torn from repetitive motion or trauma.
- Hip Flexors: Muscles that lift the thigh, often strained from overuse or sudden movements.
- Gluteal Muscles: The muscles of the buttocks, prone to strains and tears from overuse or direct impact.
- Iliotibial (IT) Band: A ligament running along the outside of the thigh, can become tight and inflamed, causing pain.
- Hip Joint Capsule: The fibrous tissue surrounding the hip joint, can be injured through dislocation or arthritis.
- Femoral Head: The ball part of the hip joint, susceptible to fractures, especially in elderly individuals.
- Acetabulum: The socket part of the hip joint, can be fractured in high-impact injuries.
CAUSES
Common Causes of HipPain
Hip injuries are often caused by overuse, which can lead to conditions like bursitis or tendinitis; sudden impacts, such as falls, which may result in fractures or dislocations; and repetitive motions, common in athletes, leading to labral tears.
Other frequent triggers include poor biomechanics, causing muscle strain and joint misalignment, and degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. Underlying medical conditions such as osteoporosis can also contribute to hip injuries.
holistic treatment options
chiropractic
Chiropractic treatment is beneficial for those experiencing chronic hip pain or stiffness due to repetitive motions or poor biomechanics. By addressing the root cause of the pain, chiropractic care can provide long-term relief and improve overall hip function.
Adjustments can enhance joint mobility and reduce inflammation, leading to pain relief and improved function. Additionally, chiropractors may recommend exercises to strengthen the muscles around the hip and support recovery.
physiotherapy
Consider physiotherapy if you have ongoing hip pain that limits your daily activities or doesn't improve with rest. It's particularly useful for those with chronic conditions or who have had hip surgery.
Physiotherapists perform joint mobilizations and prescribe exercises to improve hip flexibility and strength. These treatments help reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and enhance overall hip function.
Massage
Consider massage therapy if you have ongoing hip pain that limits your daily activities or doesn't improve with rest. It's particularly useful for those with chronic conditions or who have had hip surgery.
Massage therapy offers a non-invasive way to manage pain and improve mobility, helping you avoid more aggressive treatments like injections or surgery.
naturopathy
To address hip pain, a Naturopathic Doctor might use anti-inflammatory herbs and nutritional supplements to reduce inflammation and support joint health. They may also recommend exercises to strengthen the hip muscles and improve flexibility.
This approach aims to alleviate pain and enhance overall hip function, making daily activities more manageable.
