Yes
You should reach out to your local chiropractor.
It depends. Sometimes hip pain may be related to back conditions including sacroiliac and facets.
Get a roller from Big Five sporting goods. Roll on your side and back.
Hi, thank you for your question.

I would say that hip pain is different to each person. Hip joint pain usually presents with pain in the groin region but when most people complain of “hip pain” they are referring to pain on the side or in the buttock region. Depending on the location of your pain my answer to this question would be different. If the pain is located in the groin it is most likely hip joint pain. This would be best treated by a physical therapist and pain management doctor. Hip injections are very simple and easy and very effective as well. If the pain is located in the lower back or buttock region or lateral side, it is most likely coming from your back and not actually your hip joint. There are a lot of ways to investigate what the issue is and to treat the possible issue. Again, physical therapy and possibly chiropractic treatment can help, but it depends on what the issue is. I would recommend seeing a pain management doctor first to figure out the issue before you see a chiropractor.
