HIPS & PELVIS
Relief for Your Pain In Your Hips & Pelvis
Whether you're experiencing a dull ache deep in your hip or sharp pain with movement, discomfort in the hip and pelvic region can disrupt everything—from your sleep to your stride. At our chiropractic clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating hip and pelvic pain by addressing not just the site of pain, but the underlying cause. Whether your symptoms stem from joint dysfunction, nerve compression, or muscle imbalance, our hands-on, non-invasive care offers long-term relief without drugs or surgery.
What Causes Hip & Pelvis Pain?
The hip is a weight-bearing joint that’s essential for walking, bending, and rotating the leg. It works closely with the pelvis and lower spine, meaning misalignments in any of these areas can trigger a ripple effect of pain, inflammation, or restricted motion.
Hip pain may originate in the joint itself or be referred from surrounding muscles, tendons, or nerves. Chiropractic care takes a holistic approach—restoring proper alignment, improving mobility, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
Hip Pain
Hip pain can present in the front, side, or back of the hip and may worsen with activity, prolonged sitting, or sleep. Common causes include overuse, joint misalignment, tight hip flexors, spinal dysfunction, or inflammation.
Our chiropractic approach includes:
- Adjustments to the hip, pelvis, and lumbar spine to relieve joint stress
- Soft tissue work to release tight muscles that may be limiting movement
- Corrective exercises to improve joint stability and support long-term relief
- Postural analysis and coaching to reduce everyday strain
We help patients regain mobility, reduce inflammation, and get back to walking, working, and exercising without pain.
Bursitis
Hip bursitis occurs when the bursae—fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint—become inflamed. The most common type, trochanteric bursitis, causes sharp or aching pain on the outer part of the hip that may radiate down the leg. It often worsens with walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the affected side.
Chiropractic care for bursitis focuses on:
- Reducing pressure on the inflamed bursa through joint adjustments
- Correcting gait or postural imbalances that contribute to irritation
- Releasing tight IT band and glute muscles to support healing
- Improving alignment between the pelvis and lower back
With consistent care, we help patients reduce inflammation, restore balance, and prevent future flare-ups.
Piriformis Syndrome
The piriformis is a small muscle located deep in the buttock, near the sciatic nerve. When this muscle becomes tight or inflamed, it can compress the sciatic nerve, causing pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates down the leg. This is known as piriformis syndrome, and it is often mistaken for sciatica.
Chiropractic treatment for piriformis syndrome includes:
- Spinal and pelvic adjustments to restore alignment and reduce nerve pressure
- Trigger point therapy and myofascial release to relax the piriformis muscle
- Stretching techniques to improve flexibility in the hips and glutes
- Core and hip stabilization exercises to prevent recurrence
