Hip Pain Treatment In Belrose
Hip pain may present as stiffness, aching, or sharp discomfort in the hip or groin, sometimes radiating down the leg. It can make walking, stairs, exercise, or sitting difficult. Contributing factors often include joint restriction, posture, muscular imbalance, or referred pain from the lower back or pelvis.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Muscle or ligament strain
Postural or gait imbalances
Repetitive load or sports injury
Joint stiffness or restricted mobility
Referred pain from the lumbar spine or pelvis
How We Treat Hip Pain at Belrose Chiropractic
At Belrose Chiropractic, we start with a thorough assessment to determine the cause of your hip pain. This includes a detailed history, postural assessment, orthopaedic and neurological testing, and where appropriate, imaging referrals. Understanding whether your hip discomfort stems from joint restriction, muscle imbalance, lower back involvement, or referred pain allows us to create a personalised care plan.
Treatment may include gentle chiropractic adjustments to improve hip and pelvic alignment, mobilisation techniques to restore movement, soft tissue therapy to release tight muscles, and stretching strategies tailored to your needs. We may also use Cox flexion-distraction therapy when the lower back is contributing to hip pain.
To promote long-term improvement, we often recommend specific rehabilitation exercises aimed at strengthening the muscles that support the hips and pelvis. Clinical Pilates may be incorporated as a safe and effective way to improve strength, balance, and flexibility, helping patients return to daily activities with greater ease.
Prevention and Education for Hip Pain
Prevention is an important part of managing hip pain and reducing the risk of flare-ups. At Belrose Chiropractic, we provide guidance on improving posture, proper lifting techniques, and simple changes you can make in everyday movements to take pressure off the hips.
We also educate patients on lifestyle and ergonomic modifications, such as adjusting seated positions, choosing supportive footwear, and incorporating regular stretching. Strengthening exercises designed to stabilise the hips and core are often recommended, reducing the chance of recurring pain and improving mobility over time.
