Hip Pain Treatment in Los Angeles

Clinic Located Brentwood

Hip pain in active individuals most often develops from overuse, muscle imbalance, poor movement mechanics, or underlying joint and soft tissue irritation rather than a single traumatic injury.

Identifying the cause early and addressing training habits, movement patterns, and recovery strategies can help prevent minor discomfort from developing into a more serious, long-term injury.

At his Brentwood practice, Dr. Sheps offers a range of therapies designed to treat hip pain, reduce inflammation, and support recovery for patients throughout Los Angeles.

What is Hip Pain?

Hip pain is discomfort that can occur in or around the hip joint, including the groin, outer hip, buttocks, or upper thigh, and may develop gradually from overuse or suddenly due to injury.

Common causes of hip pain include muscle or tendon strains, tendinitis, bursitis, labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), muscle imbalances, poor mobility, and repetitive overuse from training or athletic activity. In runners and active individuals, hip pain is often related to repetitive stress and insufficient recovery, with the location of the pain helping identify the underlying cause.

  • Pain in the groin, outer hip, buttocks, or upper thigh
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion
  • Pain when walking, running, bending, or climbing stairs
  • Weakness or instability in the joint
  • Clicking, popping, or catching sensations in the hip
  • Limping or difficulty bearing weight on the affected side
  • Pain that worsens after activity or prolonged sitting

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about hip pain.

You should consider seeing a chiropractor for hip pain if your discomfort lasts more than a few days, limits your mobility, or affects activities like walking, sitting, or exercising. A chiropractor can assess whether joint dysfunction, muscle imbalance, posture, or spinal alignment issues may be contributing to your hip pain and recommend non-invasive treatment options.

A chiropractor may treat hip pain using a combination of joint adjustments, soft tissue therapy, stretching, mobility work, and corrective exercises to improve movement and reduce tension around the hip and lower back. Depending on the cause of the pain, treatment may also include therapies such as shockwave therapy, laser therapy, TECAR therapy, posture correction, or lifestyle recommendations to support healing and prevent future discomfort.

Hip arthritis often causes stiffness, deep aching pain, reduced range of motion, and discomfort that may worsen after activity or long periods of sitting.

Gentle stretching, mobility exercises, glute strengthening, walking, and low-impact activities like swimming or cycling may help improve hip function and reduce pain.

Chiropractic care may help improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, address alignment issues, and support overall movement mechanics contributing to hip discomfort.
