Hip problems are not only common, they can be very frustrating to deal with because it can make the simple act of walking or even sleeping, very painful and uncomfortable. Hip pain can affect all individuals from infants to seniors, although the causes are often very different. Due to the high amount of force, combined with the large range of motion, the hip must rely on a complex system of muscles to control and protect the area. The hip can be injured from a variety of causes such as prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, excessive use, previous injury, improper exercise, various athletic activities, or lack of physical activity. Successful treatment depends on proper diagnosis and many hip injuries respond well to the treatment options available at Chiropractic Plus.
