What is Hip Pain?

Many people experience hip pain, which can feel like anything from a mild ache to severe discomfort. The hip joint is large and complex, and it helps us move and stay balanced. When your hip hurts, it can make everyday tasks like walking, standing, or even sitting for a long time much harder. Noticing hip pain early can help you avoid more problems and keep your joints healthy.

Why Does Hip Pain Happen?

Hip pain often has more than one cause, and these causes are usually connected.

  • Muscle imbalances, like weak glutes and tight hip flexors, can put extra stress on your hips.
  • Joint problems, such as limited movement or hips that feel stuck, can cause friction and irritation.
  • Problems with movement, like poor walking or running form, or training mistakes, can put uneven stress on the hip.
  • Structural issues, such as differences in leg length, uneven hips, or old injuries, can change how weight is distributed across the hips.
  • Nerve irritation, like tightness in the piriformis muscle or problems with the sacroiliac joint, can also cause or add to hip pain.
  • Figuring out how you move can help explain why hip pain keeps coming back, even if rest or stretching gives short-term relief.

Common Hip Pain Conditions We Treat

 

We commonly help patients with:

Hip Bursitis - This is inflammation of the bursa, usually felt on the outside of the hip.

Hip Flexor Strain or Tendinopathy - This causes pain in the front of the hip, often linked to running, training, or repeated movements.

Labral Pain or Labral Tear - This leads to pain deep in the hip joint and may cause clicking or catching sensations.

Piriformis Syndrome or Sciatic-Related Hip Pain - This can cause tightness or nerve symptoms in the buttock and hip.

Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction - This causes pain at the back of the hip or pelvis, especially when walking, standing, or climbing stairs.

Hip Pain with Groin or Radiating Pain - This is often linked to movement imbalances, posture problems, or hip joint issues.

Hip Pain FAQs

Q: Can chiropractic help hip bursitis?

Yes. Chiropractic adjustments and movement-focused rehab can help reduce abnormal stress on the joint and improve how it moves, which often relieves bursitis symptoms.

Q: What’s the difference between hip impingement and hip flexor strain?

Hip impingement usually causes pain deep inside the joint, especially with rotation. Hip flexor strain causes pain in the front of the hip and thigh.

Q: How many visits before improvement?

Some patients start to feel better after a few visits. For lasting improvement, a personalized treatment plan is usually needed.

Q: Do I need imaging (X-ray/MRI) for hip pain?

Not always. Many movement problems do not appear on imaging. We check your movement first and only suggest imaging if it is needed.

Q: Is hip pain from running normal?

Hip pain from running is common, but it is not normal. If your hip pain keeps coming back, it may be due to a movement or mechanical issue that can improve with targeted care.
