Hip pain can stem from a variety of sources, including joint restrictions, muscle imbalances around the pelvis, bursitis, arthritis, or referred pain from the lower back. Because the hip plays a central role in how you walk, sit, and stand, problems in this area can also affect the knees, lower back, and even the opposite hip over time.
Dr. Verg performs a comprehensive evaluation of the hip, pelvis, and lower back to determine the source of your pain. Treatment often includes extremity adjusting to improve hip joint mechanics, soft-tissue therapy to release tight muscles such as the hip flexors and glutes, and targeted exercises to improve hip stability and correct movement patterns that may be contributing to your discomfort.
