Hip Pain

The hip plays an important role whenever you are walking, acting (along with your knee and ankle) as one of the main joints in your leg. When you have hip pain, walking can become difficult, much less running or playing sports. The hip is a complicated part of the body — interconnected with many other bones, muscles, and ligaments — and hip pain can originate from many sources. Despite this, many of the conditions, which cause hip pain, can be treated through simple holistic and therapeutic options. At Motus Integrative Health, we understand how vital your hip is to you, and we’ve helped many patients with painful hip injuries and conditions. We’re happy to help you get back on your feet in no time, and we have the perfect treatment options to do so!

What is Wrong With Your Hip?

Given that your hip covers a reasonably large (and important) part of your leg, many things can go wrong. Here are several of the most common conditions which can affect your hip:

• Meniscal/cartilage tears – the meniscus is a band of cartilage located between your hip bone to your shin. When a sudden twist or repeated low-intensity impacts cause your meniscus to tear, the resulting pain can be overwhelming and, at its worst, entirely debilitating. 

• Arthritis – Arthritis can occur anywhere there is a joint to inflame, and the hip is not an exception. Arthritis in the hip is especially painful, given how often you use that joint. Having the right chiropractic care can significantly reduce your arthritic pain.

• Patellar tracking disorder – this occurs when your kneecap shifts out of alignment due to an issue with the structure of your leg. Problems with your hip’s alignment contribute to this condition, which often results in pain in your knee.

• Ligament sprains/tears – Ligaments connect your hip bone to other bones. There are several important ligaments within the hip, many of which can tear due to strain or overuse, as well as sudden or unnatural movement. When this happens, the resulting painful sprain can cause lingering pain and tightness in your hip.

If you have been struggling with pain from any of the above conditions — or another cause entirely — chiropractic assistance may be your best option. At Motus, you’ll find a dedicated team of chiropractic specialists who have helped countless patients with their hip pain, reducing your symptoms as they heal the underlying condition.
