Before you jump into the operating room, check out how chiropractic care could help relieve your hip pain symptoms.

What Causes Hip Pain?

The hip bone is extremely important but goes unnoticed unless it is injured or shifted. Your hip is the joint where your thigh bone connects to your pelvis bone. Hips are typically known as a ball-and-socket joint because the ball-like top of your thigh bone shifts within a cup-like region within your pelvis.

Hip pain typically surfaces because of some form of damage that has been done to the hip joint (a ball and socket joint that connects the ball-shaped top of the leg bone to the hip socket). Damage to the hip joint results from a number of causes, including:

• Giving Birth
• Cancer
• Hip Fractures
• Arthritis
• Dislocations/Tears
• Pinched Nerves
• Injuries
• Osteoporosis
• Rickets
• Bursitis
• Sciatica

What Are The Symptoms Related To Hip Pain?

Hip pain is a very common complaint our chiropractors hear at Nokomis Chiropractic and WellnessClinic. The most common symptom of hip pain relates to moderate to severe pain that can start off in short increments, but gradually becoming chronic, if left untreated. Not only is hip pain felt in the hip itself, some people might experience pain or tingling in the groin, lower back, or legs or from the muscle of the hip joint itself. Other symptoms can include stiffness and grinding in the hip, waking up in the middle of the night, limited range of motion, a painful 'clicking' sensation and walking with a limp.
