Hip Pain
Hip pain afflicts many people and is often wrongly thought to be a natural part of the 'ageing process'. Hip pain can be caused by many things. It may originate from degeneration within the joint, referred pain from the low back, or from chronic tendonitis of the gluteal muscles. Hip pain may also derive from acute inflammatory conditions or from improper movement in the knee and ankle.
Making sure your pelvis, low back, hips, knees and ankles are moving well helps alleviate hip pain and may prevent recurrent episodes. We first identify the cause of hip problems. From this point, rehabilitation and stabilisation exercises can be recommended. At City Chiropractic Care we use different modalities to increase strength and regain mobility in the hip area and help return patients to their pre-injury level of activity.
