It may be tempting to think that hip pain is specific to people well over the age of retirement. The reality, however, is different. It is possible for anyone–from people who have worked on their feet for decades to younger, health-conscious people who compete in triathlons–to experience hip pain. If you have been suffering from hip pain, Caron Chiropractic can help you by first identifying the underlying cause or causes of your hip pain, working with you to create a treatment plan, and then executing that treatment plan to get you back to full health.

Non-Invasive Treatment For Hip Pain

Hip pain can be caused by any number of factors. If you have spent your career on a concrete factory floor or working in construction and have had to lift heavy objects, your hip pain may be accompanied by pain in other parts of your body too. However, even if your employment involves sitting in front of a computer for long periods of time, hip pain can result. Hip pain can also occur as a result of wearing shoes that have lost their ability to support your body. Shoes that do not provide enough support, or a poorly designed workspace, can encourage bad posture, which can place more stress on your hip joints. The result is often discomfort, and it can result in a more serious and long-term injury by wearing down the cartilage that provides a cushion between your joints’ meeting points.

Chiropractic care is ideal for hip pain. Massage therapy relaxes the muscles that support the affected joints and helps to retrain your body to maintain good posture. Massage therapy also can provide immediate relief. Chiropractic adjustment helps the body regain a healthier alignment of the spine, which also leads to better posture and less stress on the hip joints. Acupuncture may also be recommended as a means of natural pain relief, and it has the added advantage of stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
