Hip Pain Treatment in Sturgis
Hip pain is one of the most common complaints that brings patients through the doors at Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture, and for good reason — the hip is a central, load-bearing joint that plays a vital role in nearly every movement we make. Pain in the hip can range from a dull ache to sharp, debilitating discomfort that affects walking, standing, and overall quality of life. Because hip pain has many possible causes, getting a thorough professional evaluation is the most important first step. Dr. Jerrid Goebel uses a variety of chiropractic techniques to identify the root cause of hip pain and provide effective, drug-free relief.
Where Is Your Hip Pain Coming From?
The location of hip pain is an important clue to its underlying cause. Pain felt on the inside of the hip or in the groin area typically indicates a problem within the hip joint itself. Pain felt on the outside of the hip, upper thigh, or buttock region more often signals an issue with the muscles, tendons, ligaments, or other soft tissues surrounding the joint. In some cases, what feels like hip pain is actually referred pain — originating in the lower back, sacroiliac joint, or another area of the body and being felt at the hip. Dr. Goebel will carefully evaluate all of these possibilities to ensure your care plan targets the true source of your pain.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Chiropractic Treatment for Hip Pain
At Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Dr. Goebel begins with a thorough examination of the hip, pelvis, and surrounding structures, and may recommend X-ray or other imaging to assist in diagnosis. Treatment is then tailored to the specific cause of your pain and may include:
- Spinal and pelvic adjustments: Targeted chiropractic manipulation to eliminate spinal and pelvic restrictions that may be contributing to hip pain and altered movement patterns
- Stretching and strengthening exercises: Customized programs to improve hip flexibility, restore range of motion, and build the supporting muscle strength needed for long-term joint health
- Ultrasound therapy: Sound wave treatment to reduce inflammation and ease deep tissue pain around the hip joint
- Electrotherapy: Gentle electrical stimulation to reduce pain and muscle spasm in the hip and surrounding area
- Low-level laser treatment: Non-invasive therapy to accelerate healing and reduce chronic inflammation in the hip
- Lifestyle recommendations: Guidance on weight management, movement habits, nutrition, and ergonomic adjustments to support lasting hip health
