Chiropractic care is used for many cases involving hip pain. Your hip's fluidic movement relies on the cartilage that cushions your bones as they move in the socket. This prevents friction and discomfort. Over time, the cushion can wear away and become damaged, resulting in a significant amount of pain. Our doctors at Millar Chiropractic Clinics serving Huntsville and Madison provide effective and natural relief for hip pain. Let’s take a look at some of the common conditions that can often lead to hip pain.
Arthritis
Arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, often causes hip pain in older adults. If you experience frequent inflammation in your hips and the pain is becoming worse, you may need treatment to reduce your stiffness and improve your range of motion.
Hip Fractures
Fractures are more common with age, especially as the bones become weaker and more fragile. If you fall, your bones are more likely to break. Even after your body heals, you may experience some hip pain. Hip pain treatments can be paired with other techniques to get you back on your feet.
Tendinitis
The tendons help bones attach to your muscles and can often become inflamed or irritated from repetitive use. The tendons in your hips can become inflamed, leading to significant discomfort.
Strain
A muscle or tendon strain can cause a lot of hip pain. If you use your hips too much, for example, your hips can become seriously inflamed. This can prompt you to avoid using your hips properly. This often makes walking and other types of movement difficult.
