Hip pain can be a difficult problem to deal with and can make it impossible to walk without a great deal of discomfort. Pain in your hip may be caused by a number of factors. Your Redondo Beach chiropractic doctor is there to help you with proven and effective methods for natural pain relief.

If you have a hip concern you could hurt in a number of places. In fact, some types of groin, back, and leg pain may be related to your hip or back. When hip pain is caused by the back it is called "referred pain" because it originates elsewhere in the body.

The human spine houses an entire network of nerves which serve as a communications system between body and brain. Back problems can create spinal misalignment or subluxations and these misalignments can irritate or place pressure on nerves. If the problem is in the lower part of the spine, pain may extend to the hip, legs, and feet.

A trained and experienced chiropractor knows all about hip and back problems. This is the reason you fill out paperwork about your health on the first visit. Your initial chiropractor visit includes a physical exam and tests like x-rays. This helps to pinpoint the exact cause of pain.

If your problem is in your lower or lumbar spine, you may receive therapy to relax muscles and relieve stress on your back. In addition, chiropractic adjustment helps to restore the natural alignment of the spine. This can release pressure on back nerves which can be the cause of hip pain.

You may have more options than you think for dealing with hip problems in Redondo Beach. Many patients do well with the help of cold laser therapy. It is a non invasive method designed to bring pain relief by targeting acupuncture points in the body. Hip replacement surgery is considered as a final option when all else fails.
