When you are suffering from hip pain, you want to get relief. A chiropractor can offer you the relief you are looking for. Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Nitro, WV offers a diverse array of treatments and therapies.
Hip pain can be caused by many different things and some of them respond very well to chiropractic treatment. Some of them include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Hip trauma or injury
- Hip dysplasia
- Impingement of the nerve
- Stress injury from repetitive motions
- Sciatica
- Hip pain after hip surgery
Your chiropractor will evaluate your condition and, after a complete examination, determine the treatments that will work best for you. Your treatment will always be personalized to your condition and your body, no two patients are alike even when suffering from the same condition.
Chiropractic adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments of the spine help to get things back into alignment. When the vertebrae are misaligned, messages from the brain can not get through the way they should and the rest of the body suffers. Hip joints can also be adjusted to help them to get realigned. Many chiropractors use a drop table approach to gently get the joint to open, which can help with pain relief.
Electric muscle stimulation
Depending on what is causing the hip pain, electric muscle stimulation can help to relieve the pain that is caused by sore muscles. The low-level electric current causes contractions in the muscles which will tire them out and cause them to relax, which helps with tense and tight muscles.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to penetrate deep into the tissue to help to reduce inflammation, help release endorphins, and promote healing. The sound waves produce heat that stimulates the cells to relieve pain and increase circulation to the area.
Therapeutic exercise
By using targeted therapeutic exercise, your healing and pain relief can be continued at home between visits to your chiropractor and after your treatment has ended. The exercises usually include stretches and are very specific to your particular hip issues.
Massage therapy
Massage therapy helps promote relaxation in the muscles and can also help to release knots and trigger points that may exist and contribute to the hip pain you are suffering from. In combination with other therapies and treatments, this can make everything work better.
