Hip Pain Relief
Hip discomfort can make simple movements like walking, standing, or getting out of a chair feel exhausting. Whether it is a dull ache, sharp discomfort, or stiffness that comes and goes, it’s often your body’s way of signaling that something needs attention.
Why Hip Pain Happens
There are many possible contributors to hip discomfort. It may arise from muscle strain, joint inflammation, overuse, or even issues in the lower back or pelvis that affect hip motion. Long hours of sitting, poor posture, or repetitive daily activities can also place extra stress on the hips. In some cases, discomfort is linked to age-related changes or old injuries that never fully healed.
A Whole Body Perspective
In Ontario, chiropractors are trained to assess, diagnose, and help manage musculoskeletal concerns, including those affecting the hips. North York chiropractor Dr. Stacey Smith considers how the hips, spine, pelvis, and legs work together. That’s because hip discomfort is often connected to more than just the hip itself.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Dr. Stacey begins by listening to your health history, discussing your symptoms, and performing a thorough assessment. If hip discomfort appears related to joint restrictions, muscle imbalances, or limited mobility, gentle chiropractic adjustments and supportive techniques may be recommended. She aims to restore proper motion, ease surrounding tension, and help you move more comfortably.
Support Beyond the Adjustment
Your care plan may also include exercises to improve flexibility and strength, posture strategies to reduce strain, and lifestyle tips to help prevent recurring discomfort. Some people notice improvements not only in their hips but also in areas such as the lower back, balance, and overall mobility.
“When someone comes in with hip pain, my goal is to look at the bigger picture and understand how their whole body is moving. By addressing underlying stresses and offering practical tools, I want practice members to feel supported and more confident in how they move each day,” says Dr. Stacey.
