How A Kent WA Chiropractic Office Helps Alleviate Hip Pain

By Nelson Consiglio


For those dealing with hip pain, life can be difficult. In fact, some people simply resign themselves to the problem and end up taking pain medication or limiting their activities. However, many people can find relief from this problem with the help of Kent chiropractic services, and the results can be dramatic in some cases.

Arthritis is one of the most common causes for pain in the hip. This problem usually begins as mild stiffness and slight pain in the mornings. Over the years, it may become worse as the hip joint receives wear on the cartilage. Eventually, the joint will become inflamed and the problem will be chronic unless you take action to correct it.

Hip problems are not just for older people. Many young people experience hip pain because they are overworking certain tendons and muscles in the body. This can create a lot of inflammation in your hip joint and make it difficult to stand, sit, or walk.

Besides pain in the hip, hip joint problems can create groin pain and you may not even realize you have a problem with your hip. In addition, nerves become inflamed and this can cause pain to radiate into the buttocks and also may affect the legs. This pain may go away temporarily when you sit or change positions standing.

Chiropractic care with physical therapy is helping many increase mobility and get rid of pain. Therapy may include massage and electrical stimulation to relax and strengthen muscles. In some cases, the proper orthotics can relieve pressure on your hip and provide much needed relief from pain.

The foods you eat can be causing joint pain and making changes in diet can help. In addition, other therapies like chiropractic adjustment and ultrasound may be very effective. After several sessions you may enjoy increased mobility and less frequent pain. Plus, your medical insurance may pay for much of your therapy.
