Hip Pain

Hip pain can make everyday movements, like climbing stairs, getting out of the car, putting on shoes, or sleeping on your side, feel like a chore. The discomfort may sit in the hip itself, in the groin or buttock, or travel down the thigh.
At Good Neighbor Chiropractic of WNY in Clarence, Dr. Julie Gross, DC, MSACN looks at the whole picture, including your low back, pelvis, and the way you move, to help find what is contributing to your hip pain.

Common Signs of Hip Pain

  • Aching or sharp pain in the hip, groin, or buttock

  • Stiffness when getting up from a chair or out of bed

  • Pain with walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods

  • Discomfort when lying on the affected side

  • A catching, clicking, or tight feeling in the hip

  • Pain that spreads to the thigh or knee

Common Causes

Hip pain can have many sources, including:

  • Joint stiffness or restricted motion in the hip or pelvis

  • Low back or sacroiliac joint irritation

  • Tight or overworked hip and gluteal muscles

  • Postural strain from sitting, standing, or walking patterns

  • Overuse, injury, or changes in activity

Because the hip, pelvis, and low back work together, hip pain often has more than one contributing factor.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Chiropractic care focuses on how your spine, joints, and muscles are moving and on easing the strain your body is under. Your visit may include:

  • A thorough history and exam to understand what is behind your hip pain

  • Gentle chiropractic adjustments

  • Soft-tissue work to calm tight, overworked muscles

  • Movement and posture guidance to support your hips and low back

  • A personalized care plan based on your symptoms and goals
