At Shaw Chiropractic Center in Richmond, VA, we receive many complaints of hip pain, felt in the pelvis or upper thigh bone. Numerous conditions, including muscle strain, hip fractures, tendinitis, arthritis, cancer, and others, can result in aching and irritability in one or both hips. Consult with Dr. Scott Shaw to discuss options for reducing pain and regaining mobility if you have trouble running, walking up stairs, getting in and out of a car or bed, or if you find yourself dancing in discomfort instead of sitting still. Hip pain cannot be cured completely, but you can manage symptoms with the appropriate chiropractic care.

Common Causes Of Hip Pain

Hip pain is any excruciatingly uncomfortable feeling experienced in the upper thigh bone or pelvis. Injuries, malignancies, and illnesses are some of their primary causes. Hip fractures, such as dislocated and broken hips that prevent mobility or have a limited range of motion, are examples of injuries. Hip pain associated with weight loss or weak bones may indicate an underlying malignancy that necessitates specialized care. If you have arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or osteoarthritis, your hips may become stiff and uncomfortable, and symptoms may worsen in the morning or evening. Based on the cause and severity of your hip pain, Dr. Shaw will develop a personalized treatment plan to improve your quality of life.

Don't wait until you're limping to visit a chiropractor to explore your hip pain treatment options. We take pride in using natural methods at Shaw Chiropractic Center, like the activator method, a chiropractic technique in which Dr. Shaw uses a safe amount of pressure to adjust the spine. This low-force approach also alleviates symptoms associated with discomfort from sciatica, headaches, or back, neck, knee, and shoulder pain.
