Hip pain can significantly limit your mobility and quality of life. Whether it's caused by arthritis, bursitis, a misaligned pelvis, or referred pain from the lower back, chiropractic care can help restore balance and function to the hip joint and surrounding musculature. Dr. Wheat and Dr. Galbraith assess the full kinetic chain—examining the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, pelvis, and hip itself—to find and treat the root source of your hip discomfort rather than just the pain site. Treatment may include pelvic and SI joint adjustments, soft-tissue work on the hip flexors and glutes, and corrective exercises to restore proper movement patterns. Many patients who thought they just had to live with hip pain find significant relief within the first few weeks of care.
