What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain can come from a variety of structures — not just the joint itself.
Common causes include:
- Muscle tightness (hip flexors, glutes, piriformis)
- Joint stiffness or irritation
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting, such as with desk workers
- Overuse from exercise or sports
- Compensation from lower back pain
In many cases, the hip and lower back work together — so both need to be assessed
Common Types Of Hip Pain
- Pain on the outside of the hip (often related to bursitis or glute irritation)
- Pain in the front of the hip (tight hip flexors)
- Deep hip or groin pain
- Pain when walking, sitting, or sleeping
- Hip pain that radiates into the thigh
Why Your Hip Pain Isn't Going Away
Hip pain often persists because the root cause isn’t addressed.
This may include:
- Poor movement patterns
- Muscle imbalances (tight hip flexors, weak glutes)
- Limited mobility in the hips or lower back
- Repetitive strain from daily habits
Simply resting doesn’t fix these issues — they need targeted treatment
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Our approach focuses on both relief and long-term recovery.
Treatment may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments to improve joint mobility
- Soft tissue therapy to reduce tension
- Movement and posture assessment
- Targeted mobility and strengthening exercises
- Guidance on sitting, sleeping, and activity modifications
We help you move better, not just feel better
When Should You See a Chiropractor?
You should seek care if:
- Your hip pain isn’t improving
- It’s affecting your walking, workouts, or sleep
- You feel stiffness or limited mobility
- Pain keeps coming back
Early treatment can prevent the issue from becoming chronic.

FAQ - Hip Pain
Can hip pain come from the lower back?
Yes — the hip and lower back are closely connected, and issues in one area often affect the other.
Is hip pain from sitting too much common?
Very. Prolonged sitting can tighten hip flexors and weaken supporting muscles.
Can chiropractic care help hip pain?
Yes — improving joint mobility, reducing muscle tension, and correcting movement patterns can significantly reduce pain.
How long does it take to improve?
Many patients notice improvement within a few visits, depending on the cause and severity.
Hip Pain From Running
Hip pain from running is a common issue, especially if you’ve recently increased your distance, speed, or training intensity. Repetitive impact combined with muscle imbalances can place extra stress on the hip joint and surrounding tissues.
Common causes include:
- Weak glute muscles
- Tight hip flexors
- Poor running mechanics
- Sudden increases in training volume
- Inadequate recovery
Even small imbalances can lead to ongoing irritation over time
What it feels like:
- Pain on the outside of the hip while running
- Tightness in the front of the hip
- Stiffness after runs or the next day
- Discomfort when walking or climbing stairs
How we help:
We focus on addressing the root cause so you can keep running without recurring pain.
Treatment may include:
- Improving hip and lower back mobility
- Reducing muscle tension through soft tissue therapy
- Correcting movement patterns and muscle imbalances
- Strengthening the glutes and core
- Gradual return-to-running guidance
You don’t have to stop running — just address what’s causing the strain.
