Hip Pain Treatment FAQs

Hip pain can really cut into your quality of life and productivity. At Peterson Chiropractic in Durham, we can help you with chiropractic care for hip pain. Let’s look at some of the questions that Dr. Peterson runs into regarding hip pain.

What Causes Hip Pain?

Hip pain can have many causes, but we will look at a few of the most common reasons your hip might be hurting.

• Arthritis is a disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. The hip is one of the largest joints in the body. If arthritis is present in your hips, it can result in pain and mobility issues.
• A major injury affecting your hip could cause pain for years following the injury.
• Any joint can come out of alignment. When the hip is out of alignment or out of the socket it can cause pain and problems moving.
• The hips are closely located to the spine, so you will often feel pain in this area if you are experiencing nerve damage in your spine.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?
