Hip and joint pain can make everyday activities—walking, climbing stairs, even sitting—difficult and frustrating. At McAuley Family Chiropractic, we specialize in helping residents relieve hip and joint discomfort through safe, effective, and personalized chiropractic care. Whether your pain comes from arthritis, injuries, or overuse, we focus on getting you moving comfortably again.
Common Causes of Hip and Joint Pain
Hip and joint discomfort can stem from a variety of issues. Some of the most common causes include:
-
Osteoarthritis – Degeneration of cartilage can cause stiffness, swelling, and pain in the hip or joints.
-
Bursitis – Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs near joints often leads to hip pain.
-
Muscle Strains or Ligament Injuries – Overuse, sports injuries, or sudden movements can cause pain in hips, knees, or other joints.
-
Spinal Misalignment or Sciatica – Misalignments in the spine can affect hip function and cause referred pain.
-
Work or Auto Accident Injuries – Trauma can lead to lingering joint discomfort.
Identifying the root cause is crucial for long-term relief. Our chiropractors perform a thorough assessment to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help Hip and Joint Pain
Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive solution to hip and joint pain. At McAuley Family Chiropractic, our approach may include:
Spinal and Joint Adjustments
Realigning the spine and affected joints reduces pressure on nerves and improves mobility. This can relieve pain in the hips, knees, and surrounding areas.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Tight muscles and inflamed tissues around the hip and joints can worsen discomfort. Targeted soft tissue therapy relaxes muscles, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Strengthening exercises for hips, knees, and core muscles improve stability, support proper joint function, and help prevent future pain.
Personalized Treatment Plans
No two patients are the same. Whether your hip pain is from a sports injury, arthritis, or chronic strain, we create an individualized plan to restore comfort and function.

-

-
Pain that limits your daily activities or mobility
-
Stiffness in the morning or after periods of inactivity
-
