Hip Pain

Hip pain is a complex issue that often impacts your ability to walk, sleep, or even sit comfortably. Because the hip is the central pivot point of the body, it is deeply connected to the health of your lower back and knees. At Ridgeway Health and Wellness, we look beyond the local discomfort to understand how your entire pelvic structure is functioning. Our Swindon chiropractors use precise manual techniques to restore alignment and reduce the mechanical stress on your joints, helping you move with ease once more.

Signs and Symptoms

Hip dysfunction can present in various locations, often mimicking other conditions. You may benefit from a professional assessment if you experience:

  • Pain in the groin area, which often indicates an issue within the hip joint itself.
  • Lateral hip pain (on the outside of the thigh) that makes sleeping on your side difficult.
  • A deep ache in the buttocks that sometimes radiates down the leg.
  • Stiffness in the morning that makes putting on socks or shoes a challenge.
  • Audible clicking, snapping, or catching sensations during movement.
  • A noticeable limp or difficulty bearing weight on one side of the body.

FAQ

Yes. Many hip problems are caused by misalignments in the pelvis or lower back. By restoring proper movement to these areas, we can reduce the strain on the hip joint itself.

True hip joint pain is most commonly felt in the groin area. Pain on the outside of the hip is often related to the soft tissues, such as tendons or bursae. We will perform a full exam to find the exact source.

Not always. However, if your history suggests osteoarthritis or structural changes, we have on-site X-ray and DEXA facilities to provide an immediate and accurate diagnosis.

Absolutely. We use very gentle techniques, such as McTimoney, to maintain joint mobility and improve the function of the surrounding muscles, which can significantly reduce arthritic pain.

Most patients report improved comfort and mobility within their first few sessions. A structured plan is usually recommended to ensure the underlying mechanical cause is fully addressed.
