If you have been struggling with hip pain and aren’t sure where to turn for relief, Merritt Chiropractic Center may be your best solution to get to the root of your problem. The hip joint is not only the biggest joint in the body but it has a large range of motion as well, meaning it is very important that this joint is able to move correctly.

While many people know that chiropractors work on the different joints and vertebrae in the spine, these aren’t the only joints that they treat. Any joint in the body can be out of alignment, including the hip joint and it can cause serious pain, discomfort and limited range of motion.

Merritt Chiropractic Center can help evaluate your hip joint and other joints around the hip to determine what may be causing your discomfort or limited mobility.

Common Hip Conditions

Merritt Chiropractic Center treats a number of conditions in the hip region. Here are some of the most common hip-related conditions that chiropractors treat:

• Subluxations
• Osteoarthritis
• Dysplasia
• Irritable Hip Syndrome
• Trochanteric Bursitis
• Sprain or Strain in the Hip
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Sciatic or Piriformis Syndrome
• Hip Bursitis
• Anterior Pelvic Tilt

If you aren’t sure what the condition is causing your hip pain, Merritt Chiropractic Center can diagnose the problem. It is OK to make an appointment if you aren’t sure what the issue is.

All About Misaligned Hips

There are many patients who simply have a misalignment in the hip joint causing their pain and discomfort. When your hips are out of alignment, it won’t just cause pain and soreness in the hip joint area, it can cause pain in other areas of the body as well.

When a big joint like the hip joint is out of alignment, the rest of your body may start to compensate for the misalignment and it can cause even more pain in your back or your legs. Think about when you have a sore or strained ankle. After a few days of hobbling around, you’re “good” leg is going to start to feel sore from over compensating and carrying extra weight. The same thing can happen when your hip is out of alignment.

This is why it is so important to have your hips checked. This non-invasive treatment can help get to the root of the issue causing your pain. After your full examination and x-rays, Merritt Chiropractic Center will be able to determine if chiropractic care is the right treatment for you, or if you need to be referred out to a different type of practitioner for care.
