Hip pain explained.
Hip pain is common and can come from a range of causes. Here’s a simple look at what might be behind your discomfort and how chiropractic care can help:
-
Hip pain can develop from a range of factors, including joint stiffness, poor posture, and imbalances in the surrounding muscles.
Long periods of sitting or reduced movement can limit hip mobility, often leading to tightness and discomfort.
Sports injuries, overuse from running, or sudden movements can strain the hip joint and nearby muscles, causing pain or reduced function.
Lower back issues can also contribute, with referred pain affecting the hips and impacting overall movement and comfort.

Symptoms of hip pain
Deep aching or sharp pain in the hip joint, groin, or outer hip area.
Stiffness when getting up from sitting or first thing in the morning.
Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or putting weight on the affected leg.
Pain that radiates down the thigh or up into the lower back region.
-
Chiropractic care focuses on improving how the lower back and hip joints work together, helping to relieve pain and restore smooth movement.
Through targeted adjustments and hands-on techniques, chiropractors can improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and ease tension in surrounding muscles.
This approach may also reduce inflammation, relieve pressure linked to lower back issues, and address posture and movement habits that contribute to ongoing hip discomfort.
Your hip recovery is our priority.
Chiropractic treatment for hip pain offers significant benefits for those dealing with hip discomfort and mobility issues. Our approach can reduce pain and inflammation while improving joint function and range of motion.
By addressing both the hip joint itself and related areas like the pelvis and lower back, we help restore proper biomechanics.
Regular chiropractic care supports better posture and movement patterns, which reduces strain on the hip joint and surrounding muscles.
This comprehensive treatment approach promotes faster healing, prevents future injuries, and helps you return to your favourite activities with improved comfort and confidence.
Chiropractor for Hip Pain FAQ
-
A chiropractor assesses how your lower back and hips are working together to identify what’s contributing to your discomfort. This includes looking at how the hip muscles, including the hip flexor, are functioning and whether muscle tension or a muscle strain is involved.
Treatment may include a chiropractic adjustment, hip joint mobilisation, and soft tissue therapy to improve movement and reduce discomfort.
Chiropractic hip adjustments can help restore proper joint function, while a combination of chiropractic techniques and targeted exercise supports stronger, more stable hips as part of your hip pain treatment.
-
The number of sessions depends on the cause and severity of your condition, including whether muscle strain, ongoing muscle tension, or joint restriction is present. Acute issues may settle within 4 to 6 visits, while more persistent or long-term conditions often require 8 to 12 sessions for lasting results.
Your chiropractor will monitor your progress and adjust your hip pain treatment plan as needed, including the use of chiropractic adjustment and targeted exercise.
-
Chiropractic care can help reduce the risk of future issues by addressing underlying factors like posture, movement patterns, and imbalances in the hip muscles and hip flexor.
Using a combination of chiropractic techniques, chiropractic hip adjustments, and targeted exercise, treatment supports better joint function and helps prevent ongoing muscle tension or repeat muscle strain.
Ongoing care, combined with strengthening exercises and practical lifestyle advice, plays an important role in maintaining long-term results from your hip pain treatment.
-
Chiropractic treatment is generally safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. A range of chiropractic techniques are used, with each chiropractic adjustment tailored to suit your specific condition, whether you’re dealing with muscle strain, joint restriction, or muscle tension.
Your chiropractor will assess your situation before beginning care and explain any considerations to ensure treatment is appropriate for you, including whether chiropractic hip adjustments are suitable for your needs.
-
You don’t need a referral to see a chiropractor, so you can book directly for an assessment and begin hip pain treatment. Depending on your health insurance, a referral may be required for certain claims.
If needed, your chiropractor can also work alongside your GP to support your care and guide you through a plan that may include chiropractic adjustment, chiropractic techniques, and targeted exercise.
