Hip Pain Treatment in Charlotte
Hip pain is a common problem. Our chiropractic team is here to help you alleviate hip pain and eliminate it altogether. We work with you to find the root cause of your hip pain and build a customized care plan to get you on the path to optimal health.
Hip pain usually occurs on one side and can be caused by a variety of things. Sometimes, the cause of hip pain is never found and the pain fades after a few days or weeks. A strained muscle dislocated joint, bone spur, inflammation (e.g., bursitis), nerve irritation (e.g., sciatica), or injury to some other structure in your hip area can cause hip pain.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
There can be a lot of reasons you’re experiencing pain in your hip. Regardless, it’s best to seek help from our Chiropractic team in Charlotte to find the cause and treat it before it gets worse.
Muscle strain
Muscle strain is a common cause of hip pain. It can be caused by overuse or repetitive motions, or by a sudden, traumatic event. Muscle strain in the hip can lead to pain, stiffness, and swelling in the area.
Dislocated joint
A dislocated joint is when the bones in your hip move out of place. This can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving.
Bone spur
A bone spur is a piece of bone that sticks out and can cause pain in the hip. It can happen when someone has done too much exercise or if they’ve fallen on their side.
Inflammation (e.g., bursitis)
Inflammation is a localized physical response to injury or infection, in which the body’s white blood cells and chemical mediators accumulate in the affected tissues. Inflammation can cause pain and swelling if not treated.
Nerve irritation (e.g., sciatica)
Nerve irritation in the hip, also known as sciatica, can cause pain, tingling, and numbness in the hip and down the leg. It is often caused by a herniated disk in the lower back that presses on the sciatic nerve.
How Chiropractors Treat Hip Pain
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to adjust the hips, depending on the cause of the pain. If muscle strain is the cause, they may use massage or other hands-on techniques to help loosen the muscle and relieve the pain. If there is a dislocated joint, they will adjust it back into place. If there is a bone spur, they may use a chiropractic instrument to gently break it up. If there is inflammation, they may use ice or heat therapy, or recommend over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications. If there is nerve irritation, they may use spinal manipulation or adjustments to relieve the pressure on the nerve.
The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to realign your hips and spine to spark natural healing and relieve pressure on the nerves. In most cases, this drastically helps relieve the pain in your hips and allows your body to start healing properly.

Why choose chiropractic
Chiropractic care vs. the typical hip-pain routine
“I came into Dr. Schulman's office with severe sciatica pain, heel pain on right, and such a tight neck that I couldn't sleep at night from throbbing aches and pains. Now that I've been seeing Dr. Schulman for 3 months now, I'm running with my dogs again, and getting back into the gym without any back or neck pain. Best decision I ever made for self care! Highly recommend!”
