Hip Joint Pain Treatment

Hip joint pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages. It’s usually the result of overuse, worn joints or muscle imbalance. You may be feeling pain in and around the hip joint, or possibly the groin or thigh, which is causing you distress when moving around. Even simple activities like walking or sitting may be uncomfortable and this can take a major toll on your quality of life.

Fortunately, most people are able to relieve or manage their hip joint pain with treatment. Dynamic Chiropractic is a chiropractic clinic in Brisbane that has helped hundreds of patients. Dr Miki is an experienced, gentle practitioner that can help you with hip pain relief.

Causes and Symptoms of Hip Pain

Our hips are an important joint located on either side of the pelvis. They support the weight of the body and provide movement for the upper leg.

The cause of the pain can be varied — inflamed tendons (often from excessive exercise), arthritis, trochanteric bursitis, fractures and snapping hip syndrome are a few examples. It’s a condition that can often be developed as we grow older and our joints become worn. Sports or recreational activities can also put children or young adults at risk of a hip injury.

The symptoms you experience may be different depending on the cause of your hip pain. If the hip joint is affected, you might feel pain inside your hip or groin. However, if the hip problems are associated with your muscles, tendons or ligaments surrounding the hip joint, you may feel pain in your buttock or upper thigh. It may also be an indication that you are suffering from Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction.

There may be a problem with your hip if you have pain in the following areas:

• Pelvic region
• Buttock
• Thigh
• Groin
• Lower back pain 

If you’re unsure, a consultation with Dr Miki may help.
