Hip pain can interfere with everything—from walking and exercising to simply getting out of bed. Whether it stems from injury, overuse, arthritis, or spinal misalignment, chronic hip discomfort can drastically limit your mobility and quality of life.
At our Lawrence sports chiropractic clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to hip pain by addressing its root causes—not just the symptoms. Our evidence-based treatments combine three powerful tools: chiropractic adjustments, advanced soft tissue therapy, and targeted rehabilitation exercises to help you move better, feel stronger, and recover naturally.
Here’s how our three-tiered approach works:
1. Chiropractic Adjustments: Restore Mobility & Relieve Pressure
Many hip pain issues begin with imbalances in the spine or pelvis. When these structures have restricted movement, it creates excess stress on the hips—leading to joint strain, reduced mobility, and compensations in the surrounding muscles.
Chiropractic adjustments regain balance to the spine and pelvis to:
Improve joint mechanics and posture
Decrease pressure on the hip joint and surrounding nerves
Restore natural movement and reduce muscle compensation patterns
2. Soft Tissue Therapies: Relieve Muscle Tension & Promote Healing
Hip pain is often worsened by tight or inflamed muscles, tendons, and ligaments around the joint. To address this, we use a combination of advanced soft tissue therapies that are highly effective in reducing pain and improving mobility:
Class IV Deep Tissue Laser Therapy: Stimulates cellular repair, improves circulation, and accelerates healing at the tissue level.
Dry Needling: Releases trigger points and muscle knots to restore flexibility and reduce chronic tension.
Active Release Techniques (ART): Targets muscle adhesions and scar tissue that limit mobility and contribute to pain.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM): Similar to Graston Technique, this therapy breaks up fascial restrictions and promotes healthy tissue remodeling.
By combining these therapies, we not only reduce inflammation and pain, but we also improve muscle function and joint mechanics.
3. Rehab Exercises: Build Strength, Improve Mobility & Prevent Re-injury
Pain relief is just the beginning—lasting recovery requires retraining the body to move properly and efficiently. That's why we guide patients through customized rehabilitation exercises designed to:
Strengthen the muscles that support the hips and pelvis
Improve joint stability and control
Enhance flexibility and range of motion
Prevent future injuries and flare-ups
Whether you're dealing with a sports injury, overuse, or age-related wear and tear, we tailor your rehab plan to your specific goals and lifestyle.
