Hip pain is one of the most common types of joint pain. It occurs most frequently in younger and older people, usually under 15 or over 50 years of age. Many people suffer from daily hip pain and it can feel debilitating, and impact on everything from work to family life to recreational activities.
The ‘hip joint’ supports the entire upper body and is responsible to stabilise you and provide strength and locomotion. All of these responsibilities placed on the ‘hip joint’ can be the root of many varied causes of hip pain.
The ‘hip joint’ is referred to as a ball-and-socket joint. The ‘hip joint’ primarily refers to where the femur connects with the acetabulum. The head of the femur bone is rounded, nestled into the acetabulum, and contained by a fluid-filled sac called a bursa. Connective tissue supports it and synovial fluid lubricates it. Ligaments and muscles attach the hip joint to the bones of the pelvis, including the sacrum.
There are many different type of issues in the joint itself or the surrounding pelvic bones, muscles, and ligaments that can cause hip pain. Pain reliving medications just mask the issue and may provide temporary relief but do not re-align the body like chiropractic care. Some common causes of hip pain in adults include:
Hip bursitis, lower back problems, osteoarthritis and inflammatory conditions (eg - rheumatoid arthritis).
Unfortunately, Osteoarthritis is quite common and 1 in 11 Australians have been diagnosed. Osteoarthritis of the hip is one of the most common types diagnosed.
Can a chiropractor help with my hip pain, even if it is caused by osteoarthritis?
The answer is a resounding yes! The Chiropractic philosophy is that many painful conditions, including hip pain are the result of misalignment in the body, specifically in the spine. Dr. James Zheng (Chiropractor) uses various techniques to help bring the spine back into correct alignment, which can help relieve your pain and restore overall function, mobility and well-being.
