Chiropractic Care for Hip Pain in Thunder Bay
Your hips play a vital role in almost every movement you make—sitting, standing, walking, running, and even maintaining good posture. When discomfort develops, it can limit mobility and place added stress on the spine, knees, and overall alignment. At Port Arthur Chiropractic Centre, Dr. James DiGiuseppe offers care designed to ease hip pain, restore balance, and support long-term wellness for families and individuals throughout Thunder Bay.
Common Hip Conditions
While the hips are strong joints, they can be affected by both injury and wear over time. Some of the most frequent issues seen in our office include:
- Muscle strains and overuse injuries
- Hip bursitis
- Hip arthritis and degenerative changes
- Labral irritation or injury
- Misalignments and joint restrictions
Symptoms That Signal a Problem
Hip issues can show up in many ways. You might notice stiffness when sitting, standing, or climbing stairs, or pain radiating into the thigh, buttock, or lower back. Limited range of motion is another common sign. Because hip pain is sometimes mistaken for back pain, a chiropractic assessment can help determine what’s really happening and guide the next steps for care.
Care Options for Hip Pain
Dr. DiGiuseppe creates personalized plans that reflect each patient’s condition and lifestyle. Options may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilization, and soft tissue therapy to restore movement. Acupuncture may be used to ease tension, while specific exercises strengthen and stretch the surrounding muscles. Patients also receive guidance on posture, activity habits, and safe movement techniques to help protect the hips going forward.
Self-Care & Prevention
You can support your hips at home with these simple strategies:
- Strengthen the core and glute muscles to stabilize the joint
- Maintain upright posture during work and daily activities
- Wear footwear that provides proper support
- Address hip pain early instead of ignoring persistent discomfort
Why Chiropractic Makes a Difference
Chiropractic care goes beyond symptom relief. By improving alignment, mobility, and joint function, care helps reduce pain and encourages healthier movement patterns. This proactive approach not only supports recovery but also helps reduce the risk of recurring issues.
