WHAT CAUSES HIP PAIN?
The hip joint is strong—but it’s deeply connected to your spine, pelvis, and nerves. Misalignment in your lower back or pelvis can throw off balance, irritate nerves, and lead to chronic hip pain.
We look beyond the joint to evaluate your full spinal and pelvic mechanics—correcting the root issue with Gonstead-specific care.
COMMON CAUSES OF HIP PAIN:
- Pelvic misalignment or rotation
- Lower back spinal dysfunction
- Nerve pressure causing hip or leg pain, Pinched nerve
- Uneven leg length or pelvic tilt
- Repetitive movement or standing strain
- Muscle tightness in the hip flexors or glutes
- Hip joint wear or degeneration (early osteoarthritis)
SYMPTOMS WE TREAT:
- Hip stiffness or soreness while walking or standing
- Pain radiating to the thigh, groin, or buttocks
- Discomfort when transitioning from sitting to standing
- Uneven posture or feeling “off balance”
- Pain that worsens after sitting for long periods
- Lower back or pelvic discomfort linked to hip motion

FAQs:
Q: Is my hip pain coming from my back?
A: It might be. Many hip issues are caused by spinal or pelvic misalignment. We assess both to find the true source of pain.
Q: Can chiropractic help with hip arthritis?
A: While we don’t reverse arthritis, we can often relieve the stress and inflammation it causes—improving mobility and reducing pain.
Q: What if my pain goes down my leg too?
A: That could be sciatica or nerve pressure from your lower spine. We’ll evaluate your symptoms fully to determine the right care approach.
Q: Do I need X-rays before care?
A: If clinically necessary, yes. We offer in-office X-rays to support safe, targeted adjustments when needed.
