Hip Pain

Hip Pain Treatment – Restoring Mobility and Relieving Discomfort

At Boise Spine Center, we understand that hip pain can disrupt your daily activities, limit mobility, and reduce your quality of life. Whether caused by degenerative changes, repetitive stress, or an acute injury, our team specializes in diagnosing and treating the root cause of your hip discomfort with effective, evidence-based care.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain can arise from various issues, and our doctors are skilled at pinpointing the specific cause:

1. Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction

   • Misalignment in the sacrum and ilium can cause referred pain in the hip region.
   • This can often be managed with targeted spinal manipulation to restore alignment and reduce discomfort.

2. Tight Hip Rotators and Gluteal Pain

   • Conditions like piriformis syndrome can result in pain in the gluteal region due to muscle tightness and irritation.

3. Groin Pain

   • Often caused by:
     • Tight or strained hip flexor muscles
     • Hip impingement (femoroacetabular impingement)
     • Osteoarthritis of the hip joint

Our Comprehensive Approach to Hip Pain

At Boise Spine Center, we take a thorough, conservative approach to diagnosing and treating hip pain. Our treatment plans include:

1. Spinal and Joint Manipulation

   • Gentle adjustments to correct misalignments in the SI joint and surrounding structures to alleviate pain and restore movement.

2. Soft Tissue Therapy

   • Techniques like Active Release Technique (ART) and myofascial release to target tight or strained muscles, including the hip rotators and hip flexors.

3. Exercise Therapy

   • Customized stretches and strengthening exercises to address muscle imbalances and restore proper movement patterns.

4. Postural Correction

   • Guidance on improving movement habits to reduce stress on the hips during daily activities.

Collaboration for Advanced Care

Some hip conditions, such as advanced osteoarthritis or severe impingement, may require imaging (e.g., X-rays) or surgical intervention. When necessary, our doctors collaborate closely with top orthopedic surgeons and specialists in the area to ensure you receive the best care possible. Additionally, we provide post-surgical rehabilitation to help you recover strength, mobility, and function.
