Chiropractic Treatments for Hip Pain
Chiropractic care can be highly effective for hip pain. When you come into our office for your consultation, our chiropractor will with you to learn more about your symptoms and your medical history. After determining the root cause of your pain, a customized treatment plan will be created for your specific needs. Your care plan may include the following:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Often, hip pain occurs when the joints of your spine, shoulders, or hips are injured or are not functioning properly. This can lead to a variety of problems, including joint dysfunction, pinched or compressed nerves, and ongoing pain. Injuries can cause pain, or even instability without pain. A chiropractic adjustment can gently improve your spinal function, therefore providing relief.
Spinal Decompression
The spinal column can become compressed over time and put pressure on the nerves. As a result, you may feel pain, pins-and-needles sensations, and numbness in the legs. Spinal decompression therapy uses a motorized traction table to gently heal the discs of the spine and alleviate your symptoms.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
Deep tissue laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that can be beneficial for hip pain. Deep tissue laser therapy helps stimulate damaged cells around the knee to increase circulation. Better circulation can have different benefits, including faster healing and less inflammation. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy works by flooding the tissues with photons, energizing the damaged cells and increasing circulation to the painful area. This produces a cascade of healing responses in your body, reducing inflammation, thereby reducing or even eliminating your pain.
