Corona Chiropractor

Your Corona Chiropractor offers a potent non-invasive, drug-free approach to decreasing hip pain and frequently eliminating it altogether. As most of us know, surgery should be a last resort whenever possible. So, before you decide on hip surgery, think about the following questions: Is it impossible for you to get a good night’s sleep because your hip pain wakes you up in the night? When you get out of bed in the morning, and/or when you step out of your car, are you stiff and do you find it initially difficult to move your legs? Do you feel pain whenever you rotate or twist them or when you cross your legs? If so, you may have imbalances and alignment problems in your lower extremities that are not only causing your hip pain, but can over time lead to osteoarthritis in your hips if not treated. The good news is that chiropractic treatment can help whether or not degenerative changes have already started!

You may be getting older and it may be true that your hip joints aren’t what they used to be. Even so, are you aware that your hip pain (and related problems), which generally signal age-related degenerative conditions, may not actually be created by osteoarthritis? That’s right. In many cases, instead of being the root cause of your condition, osteoarthritis of the hip joint is often the outgrowth of a previous injury (or injuries) to your hips.

As a general rule, hip problems have to do with asymmetry or imbalance when you are in motion, like walking for instance. If you “pronate” when you walk, like a duck, with your toes pointing away from your body, eventually you will experience pain in your hips due to the asymmetrical pressure on your hip joints as your body attempts to compensate. Fortunately, you can learn to correct your gait pattern at any age, and your chiropractor in Corona can show you how to do it.

In addition, you may have undergone 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 alterations create hip pain. Naturally, if not corrected, your hip joints will suffer further consequences, like wear and tear that produces degenerative changes.

Other activities that can frequently impact the hip joints are starting a new job or beginning a new sport that requires you to move your body in atypical ways. Also, transporting a child (or grandchild) on one hip can generate hip pain. Even your sitting position or driving for prolonged periods of time on a regular basis can cause hip injury and pain.

Isn’t it good to know that not every pain is caused by “old age,” although we may suffer from more pain as the result of the progressive activity of untreated injuries.

As part of the chiropractic management of your hip problem, along with your adjustments, your Corona Chiropractor will suggest appropriate rehabilitative exercises that include gentle muscle stretching and strengthening, and will also analyze your gait and may offer simple pattern changes.

Your hip pain won’t vanish by itself. Hip pain is a sign that something needs correcting. If put off, more than likely 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 eliminate your hip pain, get your body back into balance, and help you get to back to enjoying your life again!

I have had pain and stiffness in one hip ever since I had my second child (2 years ago). Can anyone suggest any exercises or stretches to ease the pain and possibly strengthen that area?

P/S: Don’t just think these hip exercises result in sensational looking hips only; in actual fact they really strengthen your hip muscles in the process…..This is killing 2 birds with 1 stone….

And these hip stretches:

With your condition, I suggest you do stretches first until you’re really comfortable and flexible in the hip area before venturing into hip strengthening exercises.

Okay, I’m only 13, but my hip pops all the time! And it’s starting to really hurt. I have had a knee issue so I sorta babied that leg for a while. Do you think I am just having pain from exerting one leg?

You need to see a chiropractor and he/she will fix the problem. Everyone needs to get adjustments once in a while. Also, physical therapy might help.

Ever since I had my second daughter, I have been plagued with pain in my right hip. It feels muscular. Can anyone suggest exercises or stretches that could help?
