Causes of Hip Pain
It can be hard to pinpoint just one cause of hip pain. It can arise from an acute injury, medical conditions or even lifestyle factors. Here are some common causes of hip pain:
Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are common causes of hip pain, particularly in seniors. Arthritis damages the cartilage that protects your hip bones and causes inflammation of your hip joint. The result is difficulties moving the hip and pain that worsens with time.
Hip Fractures
As you age, your bones become brittle and weak. Weak bones can make you more susceptible to fractures if you slip and fall.
Bursitis
Tendons, muscles, and bones generate friction when they rub together. To reduce friction, sacs of liquid called bursae occupy the spaces between these tissues. Inflammation of the bursae can lead to pain, mainly if you do repetitive activities.
Tendonitis
A hip flexor is a group of muscles that control how the knee and the leg move. These muscles and the groyne can become tender if you touch or move them, leading to tendonitis. The condition occurs if you strain the tendons, particularly when engaging in certain activities, such as kicking a soccer ball. Overusing tendons results in minor injuries that accumulate over time and can cause severe pain.
Labral Tears
Your thigh bone has a ball that helps move the hip socket. A labrum surrounds the hip socket to keep the ball in place. If the labrum tears, the hip or groyne will experience severe pain. The tear can create the sensation that your hip is clicking or locking.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help Relieve Hip Pain
If you are experiencing hip pain, chiropractic care can alleviate the pain and increase mobility. The main benefits of chiropractic care are that you don’t have to undergo surgery or take any unnecessary medications and it is also non-invasive. While chiropractic care may not fully eliminate hip pain, it aims to help improve your overall quality of life.
A chiropractic care plan may involve chiropractic hip adjustments that can realign your spine and eliminate or reduce hip strain. After several chiropractic hip adjustment sessions, your whole body will align to help minimise any pain in the hip area.
If the pain has weakened the hips’ muscles, chiropractic adjustment for uneven hips can also help to strengthen the muscles. Your care plan may also involve customised exercises suited to your body’s specific needs.

A chiropractic hip adjustment is a manual therapy that is used to address any misalignments in the hips. An adjustment works by putting pressure on the restricted joints and muscles to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and increase overall flexibility. Manual adjustments can also help restore the balance between structures throughout the body, alleviating other pain symptoms that may have been caused by postural imbalances affecting posture and movement quality.
