Hip Pain Treatments In Ellisville, MO

Common Causes Of Hip Pain

The following are the most common causes of hip pain. Let’s take a look:

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of hip pain, caused by progressive deterioration of the cartilage that lines and cushions the joints. 

Bursitis

Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursae, which are small fluid-filled sacs that act as cushions between bones and muscles in joints like the hips. This condition can cause severe joint pain that limits movement and activity. 

Muscle Strain

Muscle strain is another common cause of hip pain – it occurs when muscles in the hips or buttocks become overly stretched or strained due to overuse or excessive exercise. Treatment for muscle strain typically involves a combination of rest, ice/heat therapy, stretching exercises, and physical therapy to strengthen weakened muscles around the hips.  

Injuries

Traumatic injuries such as fractures or dislocations can lead to hip pain due to damage sustained during an accident or fall. At Stanfill Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, we specialize in providing gentle yet effective treatments designed to help expedite healing from injury-related hip pain. 

Tendonitis

Inflammation of tendons located near joints such as the hips can cause severe discomfort due to increased pressure on sensitive tissue surrounding them – this is known as tendonitis. 

At Stanfill Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, our team can provide treatment to help decrease inflammation and improve mobility in patients suffering from hip pain. We are dedicated to helping patients reduce their hip pain and improve their quality of life through chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and other therapies such as laser treatments, and much more.
