It really depends on the extent of your hip injury and how much is your hip problem related to your pelvis and lower extremities. You see finding the underlying cause is the first step towards excellent prognosis just like you don’t search for treasures with blindfolds you cannot hit the target if you don’t know what you’re dealing with.

It depends on why you have chronic hip pain. If due to tight hips it can help. But if you have arthritis or spurs it can help but you will have to manage it.
It all depends on the cause of the hip pain. If it is due to simple misalignment of your pelvis, then yes it can get better with Chiropractic treatment. If though the x-ray of your hip shows bone on bone contact, then Orthopedic Surgery would most likely be the best option.
Every problem has a solution.
Hello
Best to consult chiropractic physician to properly evaluate why you have chronic hip pain.

Thats a rather generalized question....if you can resolve the root cause of the hip pain then, yeah I don't see why not. Would be best to have a conversation about where/when and how it all started to determine the best approach.
It depends upon your presentation of pain and its location. Chiropractic can greatly benefit you in getting the motion that your hips need to help you feel better and decrease your chronic pain.
Yes.
In most cases, yes. I am a joint replacement surgeon and I can tell you with confidence that if your pain is from hip arthritis or long-term damage to the labrum (the gasket in your hip), then a hip replacement is very successful at improving symptoms. The first step is an X-ray and evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon. If you have moderate to severe arthritis, then a hip replacement is indicated. If you are young (<50) and do not have arthritis, the first step is an MRI to evaluate for other sources of pain that may be addressed by more limited procedures such as hip arthroscopy. This said, as orthopedic surgeons, we exhaust nonoperative management first. The first step would be an evaluation to determine the source of your pain. This is generally followed by 6-8wks of physical therapy, oral anti-inflammatory medications, and sometimes a hip injection prior to attempting any of the more invasive surgical management described above. The bottom line - YES - there is hope.
Thank you for your question. An evaluation of your hip would be necessary to determine a care plan.
Yes, it may take some time since it is chronic but it can definitely be relieved.
