There are factors that make an individual more likely to develop hip pain. They include genetics, obesity and having suffered a fracture or dislocation in the past. However, it is not uncommon for someone without these predispositions to develop osteoarthritis.
Stiffness may be noticed in the morning. Discomfort is felt in the groin and thigh that gradually becomes real pain. Walking places weight on the joint and may increase the hurt. Another factor that makes it worse is cold or rainy weather.
Your chiropractor may advise rest depending on how severe the inflammation is. At some point it may be necessary to use a cane to avoid placing too much weight on the hip joint. Making an appointment with the chiropractor will lead to a care plan that will provide further help.
Your first office appointment will be devoted to a full assessment starting with a description of your symptoms. Next you will be examined physically. Your range of motion will be tested.
There are two kinds of pain. They are direct and referred. Direct pain occurs directly within the hip joint and is caused by an infection or inflammation that leads to swelling. An x-ray often helps to evaluate your condition.
Referred pain, on the other hand, originates in one part of the body and the hurt is felt in another. In the case of hip pain the cause may be a pinched nerve located in the spine. When the pain of the pinched nerve is reduced, the pain in the hip may subside. You must be evaluated before care can begin.
