How We Treat Hip Pain:

At AlignLife Chiropractic, our approach to treating hip pain is holistic and comprehensive. We address the entire neuromusculoskeletal system rather than focusing solely on the hip joint. This includes evaluating the spine, surrounding joints (such as the knee and lower back), muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nervous system.

Our Treatment Process Includes:

1. Accurate Diagnosis: We begin with a detailed clinical history and a thorough physical examination. This includes assessing your hip joint through neurological, orthopedic, and musculoskeletal tests. Diagnostic imaging like X-rays may be recommended if needed.

2. Customized Treatment Plan: Once we have a clear diagnosis, we will explain our findings in an easy-to-understand manner. Based on this, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and recovery goals.

3. Holistic Care: Our treatment focuses on managing and preventing hip pain by addressing the root causes and promoting overall health and functionality.

4. Specialist Referrals: If necessary, we will refer you to other healthcare providers to ensure you receive the comprehensive care you need.
