Hip Pain Relief in Naperville IL
Our chiropractor in Naperville IL treats many people with pain and dysfunction in one or both hips, and his non-invasive and drug-free techniques are safe and effective for seniors, adults, teens, and children.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Hip pain isn't just something that happens in old age (though advancing age certainly is a risk factor in many cases). People of all ages can experience hip pain due to a variety of injuries or conditions, including:
- Arthritis: joint inflammation and joint space narrowing
- Labrum tear: the cartilaginous lining of the joint can become damaged, often as a result of a sports injury or auto accident
- Muscle strain or tear: muscles in the hip, pelvis, and pelvic floor can become damaged during slips and falls, sports accidents, pregnancy-related issues, and so on
Pain in the hip can also be referred from another area of the body, particularly the spine. For instance, if the sciatic nerve within the lower back becomes impinged by something (e.g., disc bulge, bone spur, muscle spasm), then pain, numbness, or tingling can occur in the hip innervated by that nerve.
Symptoms Frequently Associated with Hip Pain
As a ball and socket joint, your hip joint is quite mobile. However, as an important load-bearing joint, your hip also needs to be strong and stable. When an injury occurs in this area, several types of symptoms can impair this delicate balance of stability and mobility:
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Muscle weakness and tightness (especially in the hamstrings, hip flexors, and calves)
- Instability and the sound or feeling of clicking, popping, or grinding
- Swelling
- Tenderness on the hip, especially on the outer edge and down the outside of the thigh
- Decreased hip range of motion (especially limitations to the ability to turn your leg in, aka internally rotate)
