Our expert chiropractors use tailored treatments to help restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve your quality of life. Hip and joint pain can result from wear and tear, injury, or underlying conditions like arthritis. Symptoms often include stiffness, swelling, or discomfort in the hip joint, and pain can radiate down the leg. It’s essential to identify the cause to develop an effective treatment plan.

Causes of Hip and Joint Pain
- Arthritis
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are common causes of hip joint pain, resulting in inflammation and cartilage breakdown. - Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion your joints, can lead to pain and limited mobility. - Tendonitis
Inflammation of the tendons, often caused by overuse, can result in significant joint discomfort. - Injuries
Hip fractures, dislocations, or labral tears can cause acute or chronic pain in the joint. - Muscle Strain
Overexertion or poor posture can strain muscles around the hip and joints, leading to pain and stiffness. - Poor Alignment
Misalignments in the spine or pelvis can affect the hips, leading to joint discomfort and instability.
