Hip pain can affect almost every part of daily life. For some people, it shows up as sharp pain when walking or climbing stairs. For others, it’s a constant ache or stiffness that makes it hard to sit, sleep, or stay active. Left untreated, hip pain can limit mobility and keep you from enjoying the things you love.
​
At Move Chiropractic in Angier, Dr. David Carter helps patients find natural, lasting relief from hip pain. We focus on addressing the root cause of your discomfort so you can move comfortably again.
​
Common Causes of Hip Pain
​
Hip pain may develop from a variety of issues, including:
​
-
Arthritis and joint degeneration
-
Muscle strains or ligament injuries
-
Sciatica and nerve irritation
-
Hip bursitis or tendonitis
-
Misalignments in the spine or pelvis
-
Sports and overuse injuries
-
Past trauma or falls
Because the hips are central to movement, problems in this area can also affect the knees, back, and posture. That’s why a careful evaluation is so important.
​
How Move Chiropractic Helps with Hip Pain
​
Dr. Carter uses safe and effective chiropractic adjustments to restore balance and alignment in the spine and pelvis. This reduces stress on the hip joints, improves mobility, and allows the surrounding muscles and ligaments to heal properly.
​
When appropriate, your care plan may also include stretches, strengthening exercises, and lifestyle recommendations to improve stability and prevent future flare-ups. Our goal is not only to relieve your pain, but also to help you return to an active, healthy lifestyle.
