Hip Pain Chiropractor Whangārei

Hip pain can have a significant impact on daily life, affecting your ability to walk comfortably, exercise, climb stairs, sleep, and enjoy normal activities.

Because the hip is a weight-bearing joint involved in almost every movement we make, problems affecting the hip can quickly begin impacting other areas of the body, including the lower back, pelvis, knees, and legs.

At Mudgway Chiropractic, we provide thorough assessments designed to identify the source of your symptoms and develop a personalised treatment plan to help improve movement, comfort, and function.

Whether your symptoms developed gradually over time or followed an injury, our goal is to help you understand your condition and support your recovery.

Common Symptoms of Hip Pain

Hip pain can present in a variety of ways.

Common symptoms include:

  • Pain in the hip joint
  • Groin pain
  • Pain in the buttock region
  • Stiffness around the hip
  • Difficulty walking
  • Pain when climbing stairs
  • Reduced flexibility
  • Discomfort lying on one side
  • Clicking or catching sensations
  • Pain that travels into the thigh

Many people assume all hip pain originates from the hip joint itself. However, symptoms may also be referred from the lower back, pelvis, or surrounding soft tissues.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Several conditions can contribute to hip pain including:

  • Hip arthritis
  • Hip joint dysfunction
  • Muscle strains
  • Tendon irritation
  • Bursitis
  • Sports injuries
  • Repetitive strain
  • Pelvic dysfunction
  • Lower back problems
  • Age-related degeneration

Accurately identifying the source of your symptoms is one of the most important factors in determining the most appropriate treatment approach.

Hip Pain and Lower Back Problems

The hip, pelvis, and lower back work closely together during everyday movement.

When one area is not functioning optimally, increased stress can be placed on neighbouring structures.

For example, restricted hip movement may contribute to lower back discomfort, while lower back conditions can sometimes refer pain into the hip and buttock region.

This is why a comprehensive assessment of the surrounding areas is often important when investigating hip pain.
