What Are the Symptoms of Hip Pain?

Hip pain doesn’t necessarily mean your hip area will be painful. Instead, hip dysfunction may appear as referred pain in the lower back, pelvis, knee, or thigh and the symptoms may vary depending on the underlying cause. Your hip pain may have accompanying symptoms like:

  • Muscle weakness
  • Pain when walking or after intense exercise
  • Swelling or bruising
  • Stiffness

These symptoms will help to identify the cause of your hip pain. This allows Dr. McClanahan to recommend the most beneficial treatment plan to relieve your pain, treat the underlying cause, and improve your overall quality of life.

What Is Causing Your Hip Pain?

Hip pain is not one-size-fits-all, and it can be caused by one or more of the following conditions:

  • Bursitis
  • Arthritis
  • Injuries
  • Sprains and strains
  • Fractures
  • Infection

For this reason, it’s important to choose a chiropractor like Dr. McClanahan at the Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center serving Nitro, WV, who has ample hands-on experience treating patients with various musculoskeletal complaints.
