CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT FOR HIP PAIN | HIGH AMPLITUDE HEALTH IN SAN MATEO

Hip pain can significantly impact your daily life, making it difficult to perform routine activities. At High Amplitude Health in San Mateo, we specialize in providing effective chiropractic treatments to alleviate hip pain and improve your overall mobility.

CAUSES OF HIP PAIN:

Hip pain can arise from various conditions, including arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, and muscle strains. Understanding the root cause of your hip pain is crucial for effective treatment.

• MUSCLE TIGHTNESS AND MUSCLE SPASMS

The most common cause of hip pain and sciatica is muscle tightness or spasms. Athletes and those who are physically active may experience this type of pain from overusing their muscles or repetitive movements for long periods. If left untreated, overuse injuries can cause physical dysfunction.

• OSTEOARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis is a condition that involves the degeneration of joint cartilage and bone. Osteoarthritis can cause neck, back, hip, and other types of joint pain. It can occur with normal wear and tear from your daily activities, gradually worsening over time. Osteoarthritis can cause inflammation, and if you have osteoarthritis, it may be the cause of your chronic hip pain.

• BURSITIS

Your hip joints are surrounded by a fluid-filled sac called a bursa, which helps cushion your joints and reduce friction. Bursitis occurs when these bursas become inflamed.

OUR APPROACH

Our chiropractic approach includes a comprehensive evaluation to identify the underlying cause of your hip pain. In chiropractic hip adjustment, we use a combination of spinal adjustments, myofascial therapy, and targeted exercises to relieve pain and restore function.

• MYOFASCIAL THERAPY AND ACTIVE-RELEASE

Myofascial therapy and Active Release Therapy (ART) are important components of any treatment plan. Both types of therapy are soft-tissue methods designed to reduce muscle tightness, improve range of motion, and eliminate pressure on the sciatic nerve. Myofascial therapy and Active Release target the fascia and muscle tissues, helping to release tightness and improve circulation. This therapy is effective in reducing pain and enhancing flexibility.

• ASSISTED STRETCHING

A personalized stretching program will improve your range of motion and strengthen your hip muscles. We work with you to determine which hip stretches are best for you. Proper stretching exercises can go a long way toward hip pain relief, and we stretch your hips during each office visit.

• CHIROPRACTOR HIP ADJUSTMENTS

Making chiropractic adjustments to your hip and lower back joints can reduce misalignment and improve the range of motion in your hip and spinal joints. Chiropractic hip adjustments also help to reduce nerve irritation and improve joint mobility. This can significantly alleviate hip pain and prevent future discomfort.

• TARGETED EXERCISES

Regular exercise should be part of everyone's health care routine. We teach you how to use different types of equipment, such as foam rollers and massage balls, to engage in exercises that reduce muscle tightness and tension. Once you learn the proper techniques, you can do these exercises at home. Your customized exercise programs are designed to strengthen the hip muscles, improve range of motion, and support overall hip health. These exercises are tailored to your specific needs and condition.
