To be honest...it could be. Once accepted for care and the determination that your hip condition can be treated safely, I select the most effective adjusting technique for your hip condition that will limit the stress to the painful area. Coupled with other modalities, such as Class IV laser to address the pain component and the use of analgesics and kinesio tape to further modulate the pain response, most patients experience minimal pain during treatment. The key to successful treatment is a solid diagnosis of your hip condition.

Despite the mechanism of injury...4 weeks post injury with continued pain symptoms indicates to me....there is a problem. The source of your pain at this point is what needs to be determined. As a Board Certified Chiropractic Physician with nearly 25 years of experience I have evaluated and treated many patients with similar complaints. The first step is a thorough examination of your hip, thigh, pelvis, and lower spinal region. Orthopedic and neurological tests are often done as well as a functional movement assessment. Often your examination will pin point the source of your pain; however, further testing such x-rays or possibly an MRI would be prudent based on your exam findings. Once a diagnosis of your condition is determined a course of treatment to address your pain can then be recommended. Most non-surgical musculoskeletal complaints can be treated safely in a Chiropractic setting; however, if your condition requires another provider we often make the referral directly. I hope this info proves to be helpful and you get the care you need. Dr. C
