Let your Richmond chiropractor alleviate your hip problem with chiropractic care.

While we can sometimes ignore minor aches and pain, it’s when the pain becomes severe, chronic or affects our daily lives that we finally take time to do something about it. Those dealing with hip pain may find it difficult to get out of bed in the morning or find that their physical activity is hindered by their symptoms. If you are suffering from hip pain due to a car accident, sports injury, osteoarthritis, or simply overuse then it’s time to seek out your Richmond chiropractor for treatment.

How can my chiropractor help my hip pain?

The first thing we will do when you come into our office is to conduct a thorough physical exam. We want to pinpoint the root cause of your pain and see whether your symptoms are caused by a specific condition or referred pain.

From there we will create a unique treatment plan to help ease your symptoms. We offer a full range of chiropractic care and your treatment plan may include any combination of the following:

• Chiropractic Adjustments
• Stretching/Strengthening exercises
• Massage Therapy

Chiropractic adjustment has proven particularly successful for alleviating sciatica, which is one of the most common causes of hip and lower back pain. Research has even found that chiropractic care helped about 60 percent of patients avoid invasive surgery. By applying specific pressure on certain areas of the body, we help reposition and adjust the spine to greatly reduce pain and swelling. Again, this is particularly helpful for those whose hip pain is due to referred pain, which is very common.

For those with hip injuries or hip pain due to osteoarthritis, we can show you special exercises and techniques to help ease your symptoms. These stretching and strengthening exercises are meant to alleviate inflammation and discomfort while also promoting stability and better range-of-motion.

Your treatment plan will be different depending on your diagnosis and medical history. While we will recommend certain lifestyle changes to incorporate while in the comfort of your own home, we will also suggest one chiropractic treatment or several that can be used in combination with one another for maximum effectiveness.

If you are ready to get up and moving again, then it’s high time you contacted your Richmond chiropractor, Dr. Scott Shaw, at Shaw Chiropractic Center. Say goodbye to hip pain and get on with your life.
