Your Corona Chiropractor offers a highly successful non-invasive, drug-free approach to relieving hip pain and often getting rid of it altogether. Whenever possible, surgery should be seen as a final option. Therefore, before you schedule a surgery to replace that hip, ask yourself the following questions: Is it out of the question for you to get a good night’s sleep because your hip pain wakes you up at night? When you arise in the morning, and/or when you step out of your car, are you stiff and do you find it initially hard to get your legs moving sufficiently? Do you feel pain whenever you rotate or twist them or when you cross your legs? If you’ve answered “yes” to any or all of these questions you probably have imbalances and alignment problems in your lower extremities that are not only causing your hip pain, but can eventually lead to degenerative joint disease in your hips if not treated. The good news is that whether or not degenerative changes have already started, chiropractic treatment can help!
You may be getting older and it may be true that your hip joints aren’t what they used to be. Nonetheless, are you aware that your hip pain and related problems, which normally point to age-related degenerative conditions, may not actually be generated by osteoarthritis? That’s right. In fact, as opposed to being the root cause of your problem, osteoarthritis of the hip joint is typically the consequence of a prior injury (or injuries) to your hips.
Frequently, hip problems have to do with asymmetry or imbalance when you are in motion, as in the case of walking. If you tend to walk “pronated” with your toes pointing away from your body (like a duck), eventually you will feel pain in your hips as a result of the asymmetrical tension on your hip joints as your body attempts to compensate. Thankfully, you can learn to correct your gait pattern at any age, and your chiropractor in Corona can show you how to do it.
Furthermore, you may have developed gait changes as the result of an ankle sprain or knee strain, and since “the knee bone’s connected to the hip bone,” these biomechanical accommodations produce pain in the hip(s). Of course, if not remedied, your hip joints will suffer further consequences, like wear and tear that produces degenerative changes.
Other activities that can occasionally impact the hip joints are starting a new job or beginning a new sport that requires you to move your body in uncommon ways. Also, ferrying a child (or grandchild) on one hip can create hip pain. Even your sitting position or driving for prolonged periods of time on a regular basis can cause hip injury and pain.
So you can see that not every pain is caused by “old age,” although we may suffer from more pain as a consequence of the progressive capacity of untreated injuries.
In addition to your adjustments, as an integral part of your chiropractic management, your Corona Chiropractor will suggest special rehabilitative exercises that include gentle muscle stretching and strengthening, and will also analyze your gait and may suggest simple pattern changes.
Your hip pain won’t disappear by itself. Hip pain is a sign that there’s a condition that requires correcting. If ignored, there is a good possibility that at some point you will require that hip replacement surgery. So, don’t put off until tomorrow, what truly needs to be done today. Your Corona Chiropractor can get you out of pain, get your body back into balance, and help you get to back to enjoying your life again!
