Hip Pain Chiropractor in Mendon, NY
Hip pain can make walking, running, exercising, sitting, getting up from a chair, or participating in sports difficult. Hip symptoms may develop gradually with changes in activity or training, or they may begin after an injury.
At Rochester Sports Chiropractic in Mendon, NY, we evaluate hip pain by looking at your symptoms, health history, movement, strength, and activity demands. Our goal is to determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Hip pain can have many possible causes. Some common contributors include:
Increased exercise or training volume
Running-related injuries
Muscle strains
Reduced hip mobility
Repetitive activity
Strength or movement deficits
Sports injuries
Changes in walking or running mechanics
Problems involving the low back or surrounding joints
Pain around the hip does not always originate from the hip joint itself. Symptoms may sometimes be influenced by the low back, pelvis, muscles, or other surrounding structures.
Hip Pain From Running
Running places repeated demands on the hips, pelvis, legs, and low back. A sudden increase in mileage, changes in training, hills, speed work, or returning to running after a break can sometimes contribute to symptoms.
When evaluating runners, we consider more than the painful area. We look at movement, strength, mobility, training demands, and how symptoms respond to activity.

Hip Pain and Sciatica
Hip pain and sciatica can sometimes feel similar, particularly when symptoms travel into the buttock or leg.
Sciatica involves irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve and can produce symptoms that extend from the low back or buttock into the leg.
If your symptoms include radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or other nerve-related symptoms, an appropriate evaluation can help determine whether the symptoms may be related to the low back or sciatic nerve.

Hip Pain From Sports and Exercise
Hip pain can affect runners, golfers, cyclists, pickleball players, strength athletes, and other active adults.
Sports-related hip problems may be influenced by training volume, mobility, strength, movement patterns, previous injuries, or changes in activity.
Our sports-focused approach considers the demands of your activity and your goals for returning to it.

How We Evaluate Hip Pain
Your first visit begins with a discussion of your symptoms, health history, activities, and goals.
Depending on your presentation, your evaluation may include:
Hip range-of-motion testing
Strength assessment
Orthopedic testing
Movement assessment
Evaluation of the low back and pelvis
Assessment of walking, running, or other relevant movements
Discussion of activities that reproduce or aggravate your symptoms
The goal is to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
If your symptoms indicate that additional medical evaluation or imaging may be necessary, we will recommend the appropriate next step.
How Chiropractic Care May Help Hip Pain
Treatment depends on your examination findings and goals. When appropriate, care may include:
Chiropractic adjustments
Soft tissue techniques
Mobility exercises
Strength and stabilization exercises
Movement education
Activity modification
Gradual return-to-activity recommendations
The goal is to help you improve movement and function while addressing factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Hip Pain and Low Back Pain
The hip and low back work together during walking, running, lifting, and many athletic activities.
Sometimes hip symptoms occur alongside low back pain, while in other cases pain felt around the hip may actually be influenced by the low back.
A comprehensive evaluation can help determine how the hip, pelvis, and low back may be contributing to your symptoms.

Hip Pain and Movement
Hip mobility and strength can influence how you move during everyday activities and exercise. However, there is no single "perfect" movement pattern that applies to everyone.
Our goal is to identify meaningful movement limitations or strength deficits that relate to your symptoms and develop a plan that fits your activities and goals.
When Should You Seek Medical Evaluation for Hip Pain?
Some hip injuries require medical evaluation, particularly after significant trauma or when symptoms are severe or progressively worsening.
Seek appropriate medical care for symptoms such as inability to bear weight after an injury, significant weakness, major loss of movement, severe trauma, fever with significant joint pain, or other concerning symptoms.
If your symptoms suggest that chiropractic care may not be appropriate, we will recommend the appropriate medical referral.
