What causes hip pain?

Hip pain is a common complaint that can come on suddenly or build up over time. It’s often linked to joint wear, poor movement patterns, muscle imbalances, or conditions like arthritis or bursitis. To make things clearer, we’ve outlined the main causes below:

    • Aching or sharp pain during activity

    • Stiffness or reduced mobility in the hip or groin

    • Swelling, tenderness, or discomfort when sitting or standing

    • Clicking, locking, or a catching sensation

  • Hip pain can result from a wide range of issues, from sports injuries to everyday movements done incorrectly. Some of the most common causes include:

    • Poor technique during workouts

    • Sports-related impacts or falls

    • Repetitive strain or overuse

    • Muscle imbalances or poor posture

    • Sudden increase in physical activity

    • Degenerative changes with age

    • Underlying conditions like arthritis or bursitis

  • We treat a wide range of hip concerns, from everyday discomfort to chronic or complex issues. Common conditions we work with include:

    • Hip labral tears – pain or clicking deep in the hip due to cartilage damage

    • Hip impingement (FAI) – abnormal bone contact causes pinching pain during movement

    • Tendinopathy – irritation of tendons around the hip from overuse or imbalance

    • Hip bursitis – inflammation of the bursa leads to sharp pain and tenderness on the outside of the hip

    • Hip flexor strains – overstretched or torn muscles cause pain when walking or lifting the leg

    • Hip instability – joint feels loose or wobbly, often after an injury

    • Arthritis – joint wear from osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis that limits mobility

    Whether you’re dealing with ongoing hip pain, reduced movement, or instability, our experienced physios can build a personalised treatment plan to help you move more freely and feel stronger.

How do we treat
Hip pain?

Chiropractic or physiotherapy for hip pain starts with a detailed assessment to identify the root cause, whether it’s related to joint mechanics, muscle imbalances, or posture. From there, we design a personalised plan to ease pain, improve function, and stop it from recurring. Common treatments include:

  • A person receives physical therapy, stretching arm; mirrored reflection.

    Active Release Technique

    Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on treatment used to release tight or injured muscles, tendons, and fascia around the hip. By applying pressure while moving the hip through specific ranges, we break up adhesions and restore normal movement. This technique is ideal for conditions like hip impingement or hip flexor strain.

    Dry Needling

     Dry needling targets tight trigger points in the hip and surrounding muscles. It helps reduce deep tension, improve range of motion, and ease pain, especially useful for chronic tightness or hip pain that doesn’t respond to stretching, massage, or standard treatment alone. It promotes faster recovery and healing.

    Exercise Therapy

    As pain settles, we introduce tailored exercises to rebuild hip strength, mobility, and balance. These movements help correct imbalances, improve stability, and support long-term recovery, whether your hip pain is from sport, work, or daily activities. Consistency delivers lasting results, confidence, and reduces risk of reinjury.

    Fascial Abrasion Technique

    We may also use the Fascial Abrasion Technique to treat restrictions in the connective tissues around the hip. Using a specialised tool, this method helps reduce stiffness, improve mobility, and boost circulation, making it ideal for recovering from overuse injuries and restoring smooth, pain-free, natural movement patterns.
