Hip pain: What can it be? The main function of the pelvis is to keep us upright by supporting the weight of the body.
But it also has the function of making us walk, run, jump, and much more. Therefore, localized pain in this area can have very debilitating consequences for people who suffer from it.
The most common causes of hip pain are osteoarthritis and trauma to the bones or surrounding tissues (muscles, ligaments, etc.).
However, it may be related to other health conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory pathologies such as:
Bursitis: inflammation of a liquid cushion between joints.
Piriformis syndrome: dysfunction of the piriformis muscle that inserts into the hip. In this case, it can give symptoms very similar to sciatica.
Cruralgia: pain in a thigh, usually due to nerve involvement (compression, demyelination, virus, etc.), but can also be due to muscle dysfunction (traumatic and joint).
Pubalgia: pain present in the pubic/ingle area, among other pathologies.

Thus, after a thorough diagnosis, the most appropriate course of action will be determined.
The key to treatment is to gently move the hip joint through quick and precise chiropractic adjustments to correct the subluxations present.
