What causes hip pain?
Hip pain can be caused by a number of things including:
- An accident or sudden injury
- An infection in the joint
- A fracture or break
- General wear and tear
- Sprains or strains
- Long-term health conditions including arthritis
What are the symptoms of hip pain?
There are several different symptoms of hip pain, some of which can be masked by other health conditions, making it difficult to diagnose the exact root cause of your pain. However, some of the most common hip pain symptoms include:
- Pain in and around the hip
- Groin pain
- Leg and knee pain
- Stiffness and difficulty moving
- Inflammation and swelling around the hip joint
- Redness of the joint
How can hip pain be managed?
Although hip pain can be debilitating, it can be effectively managed with at-home treatment. Try not to do too much and avoid putting too much strain on your hip. Using ice packs can also reduce any swelling and redness but only use these for up to 20 minutes at a time. Gentle stretching exercises that focus on the hip can also help as can over-the-counter painkillers.
What are the treatments for hip pain?
A healthcare professional will assess your pain and symptoms and prescribe a personalised treatment plan to help you get back to a pain-free life. This can include stronger painkillers, an exercise plan, physiotherapy, steroid injections, occupational therapy and even alternative medicine such as acupuncture and chiropractic care. In severe cases, surgery and hip joint replacement may also be required if previous treatment hasn’t worked.
How can chiropractic care help hip pain?
Chiropractors use their hands and specialist massage techniques to relieve problems associated with bones, joints and muscles. This makes it a very effective and popular treatment for hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, foot pain, back pain and neck pain. Chiropractic care can also:
- Reduce inflammation
- Strengthen and stretch muscles
- Relax muscles
- Boost joint mobility
As well as hip pain, chiropractors can treat conditions including osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, sciatica, slipped disc and headaches. If you are looking for advice on any of the above or perhaps are searching for hip pain treatment in Ringwood, get in touch today.

FAQs about hip pain
Most frequent questions and answers
A combination of painkillers, ice packs and rest, as well as gentle stretching (including chiropractic care) is best advised for hip pain of all types.
If your pain occurs on the inside of your hip or your groin, this is usually associated with hip joint pain. Pain on the outside of your hip, in your thigh or buttock is usually muscle pain.
If you can, it’s always best that you continue to move. However, be sure to only move as much as you can without feeling pain and also take the time to rest your hip.
Arthritis including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are two of the most common causes of hip pain – especially in older people.
