About Hip Pain

Our hips are the largest joints in the body, and they’re classified as ball in socket joints. When the hip hurts, the pain can be from the joint, bones, cushioning discs, ligaments, muscles, or nerves around the hip joint.

Most people feel hip pain on the inner, upper part of the leg or in the groin, but it can radiate to the knee, thigh, and front of the upper leg. A hernia in the groin may send radiating pain to the hips. In some cases, the pain is felt on the outer hip and in the glutes.

The SI joints, or sacroiliac joints, are located below the lumbar spine, and in some cases, SI pain can be confused with hip pain. Dr. Doyle can determine where your discomfort is actually located, to maximize the effectiveness of your treatment plan.

If your hip pain worsens with activity, arthritis may be the cause, and many types of arthritis that can develop in the hips. The most common reasons a person develops hip pain are arthritis, sciatica, fractures, bursitis (inflammation in the sac outside the hip) or tendinitis, or issues such as hernia, gynecological problems, or radiating back pain. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is damaged or stressed, and it causes pain to radiate to the low back, hips, and legs. Chiropractic care can often resolve sciatica pain and, in some cases, replace the need for surgical treatment.

Treatment Options

If hip pain is sudden, you cannot put weight on the hip, or you cannot move your leg, it’s time to see your doctor. Treatment by a medical doctor will be based upon the underlying cause of the hip pain.

People usually reach for over-the-counter pain medication, or NSAIDs, such as Tylenol, Motrin, Advil, or Nuprin, for pain relief. While these drugs work well, over use of NSAIDs can cause serious damage to the liver, kidneys, and digestive system. NSAIDs can contribute to headaches, dizziness, high blood pressure, ringing in the ears, and leg swelling. People who take NSAIDs regularly may bleed more heavily than others. In light of the side effects, ingesting these drugs too often or for too long is not recommended.

If you know why you have hip pain, and you’re going to have to endure the discomfort long-term, or the pain is a result of improper musculoskeletal alignment or inflammation, chiropractic and/or acupuncture treatments may help reduce your pain. In some cases, Dr. Doyle can eliminate hip pain.

How Chiropractic and Acupuncture Can Help

In 2010, a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that nine or more chiropractic treatments reduced arthritis symptoms in four out of five patients with hip pain. Arthritis comes with inflammation, and both chiropractic and acupuncture can reduce or relieve inflammation. Injury, illness, and over use of the hip joint may also cause inflammation.

For bone injuries, such as fractures and breaks, chiropractic and acupuncture can speed the healing process by reducing inflammation, increasing blood flow, and prompting the release of endorphins (nature’s pain killers).

Your Visit in our Roanoke Chiropractor and Acupuncture Office

At your appointment, Dr. Doyle will schedule sufficient time to sit down with you in his office, where the two of you can discuss your pain and concerns. He’ll talk with you about your diagnosis, medications, treatments you’ve tried, and what you can expect from chiropractic and/or acupuncture sessions. Dr. Doyle will then examine your skeletal alignment and locate areas of pain and inflammation. He’ll create a treatment plan and explain what it entails.
