Hip

Hip Osteoarthritis

Hip pain is pain arising from the anatomical region of the hip. It can be a result of arthritis, strains of the muscles around the hip, joint injuries or referred pain from the spine and is commonly confused with pelvic pain. Commonly hip pain may refer into the groin or into the thigh and knee. Chiropractors treat hip pain using a package of care that may include manual therapies, acupuncture, exercise prescription and onward referral when indicated.

Pelvic pain can be caused by lifting and carrying incorrectly, poor posture or pregnancy and can lead to pain in the low back, buttocks, hips, lower abdomen, groin and thighs. Due to the fact that back problems can sometimes refer to pain in the hips or legs it can commonly be mistaken for hip pain or sciatica.

Leg pain can be due to irritation of the sciatic nerve or can be caused by referred pain from the low back or pelvis. Leg pain may also be due to strains in the muscles or damage to the hip, knee or ankle.
