Hip Pain Relief From A Denver CO Chiropractor

By Angeleah Mae Zerna


Hip pain? A chiropractor may be able to help. If you are older, your hip pain is likely to be caused by osteoarthritis - and this is progressive and likely to eventually lead to the need for a hip replacement. It can also be caused by inflammation of the sac outside the hip, the bursitis, which is often the result of a fall or an overuse injury.

Hip pain can also be caused by sciatica, which is caused by degeneration in the spine, by dysfunction of the sacroiliac joints, or even a hernia. If you have hip pain, then you should consider going to a CO chiropractor. They will do a full examination to determine whether this is something they can help, or whether you should be referred to another physician (for example for a hernia).

Chiropractic medicine does not practice the use of prescription drugs, so instead of prescribing pain killer which have the tendency to be addictive, the doctor will use natural techniques to slow joint degeneration, hopefully avoiding the need for surgery.

Each patient is evaluated and given a customized chiropractic approach plan that is based on their situational specifications, health history, age, and personal lifestyle.

This is likely to include chiropractic adjustment of the hips or spine, massage, and corrective exercises to help your hips stay healthy. They may also give advice on your posture, how often to take breaks from sitting (sitting for extended periods can also cause low grade hip pain), and how to do daily activities in a way which puts less strain on your joints.

Anyone with pain in their hips may want to consider consulting a chiropractic practitioner, or asking their primary physician's opinion on the subject as many mainstream doctors do recognize the benefits of this type of care when it comes to joint and back pain. The goal of this field of medicine is to help one regain their pain-free mobility.
