Redondo Beach Chiropractor Helps Locals Find Hip Pain Relief

By Darcy Gautreau


If you are dealing with pain, you are not alone. This problem is very common with seniors today and even young people are not immune to it. There are many different causes for hip problems, and your local Redondo Beach chiropractic professional has many possible solutions.

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.

Your chiropractor knows that hip problems have many sources. This is why you are asked to fill out a health questionnaire on your first office visit. In addition, you receive a complete exam to determine the exact source of your pain. This may include x-rays and several other testing procedures.

When a painful hip is caused by the low back, several types of therapy may help. For example, heat, ice, or massage, relaxes muscles and can relieve back strain. Chiropractic adjustment therapy restores your spine to natural alignment, allowing nerves to heal and pain to go away.

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.
