Hip Pain Treatment in Brookfield, WI

Personalized Care for Hip Pain, Stiffness, and Movement Limitations

Hip pain can make it difficult to walk, climb stairs, exercise, sleep comfortably, or enjoy your normal daily routine. Because the hip is involved in nearly every lower body movement, pain may develop gradually from repetitive stress or suddenly after an injury.

At Resolve Chiropractic in Brookfield, WI, we provide individualized care for hip pain by identifying the factors contributing to your symptoms. Your evaluation focuses on the hip itself as well as the lower back, pelvis, and surrounding muscles to develop a treatment plan that matches your needs and goals.

Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, extremity adjusting, Active Release Technique (ART), manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and movement-based rehabilitation.

What Causes Hip Pain?

Hip pain is a symptom rather than a diagnosis.

Common causes include:

• Muscle strains

• Tendinopathy

• Hip bursitis

• Gluteal muscle dysfunction

• Hip joint arthritis

• Labral irritation

• Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)

• Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction

• Referred pain from the lumbar spine

Determining the source of your symptoms is an important first step toward choosing the most appropriate treatment.

Common Symptoms

People with hip pain may experience:

• Pain in the front of the hip or groin

• Pain along the outside of the hip

• Pain in the buttock

• Stiffness after sitting

• Pain when walking or climbing stairs

• Difficulty squatting or lunging

• Pain while sleeping on one side

• Reduced range of motion

• Weakness during activity

The location and pattern of pain often provide important clues about the underlying condition.

Our Evaluation Process

Because hip pain can originate from several different structures, your evaluation is comprehensive.

It may include:

• Detailed health history

• Hip range of motion testing

• Strength assessment

• Orthopedic examination

• Functional movement assessment

• Gait evaluation

• Lumbar spine and pelvic screening

• Neurological examination when appropriate

If your examination suggests the need for imaging or referral, we will discuss the appropriate next steps.

Our Treatment Approach

Treatment recommendations are based on your examination findings rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Chiropractic & Extremity Adjustments

When appropriate, adjustments may help improve mobility of the hip, pelvis, lumbar spine, and surrounding joints that influence hip function.

Active Release Technique (ART)

ART may be used to address soft tissue restrictions involving:

• Hip flexors

• Gluteal muscles

• Piriformis

• Tensor fasciae latae (TFL)

• Hamstrings

• Adductors

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy may help improve tissue mobility and reduce muscular tension surrounding the hip.

Therapeutic Exercise

Exercise is an important part of long-term recovery.

Your program may include:

• Hip mobility exercises

• Glute strengthening

• Core stability

• Balance training

• Functional movement retraining

• Progressive return-to-activity exercises

Hip Pain in Active Adults

Hip pain commonly affects:

• Runners

• Golfers

• Pickleball players

• Weightlifters

• Cyclists

• Individuals with physically demanding jobs

Our goal is to help you return to the activities you enjoy while improving movement quality and reducing the risk of recurrence.

When Should You Seek Medical Evaluation?

Seek prompt medical care if you experience:

• Inability to bear weight after an injury

• Significant swelling or deformity

• Fever or signs of infection

• Severe pain after a fall

• Progressive numbness or weakness

These symptoms may indicate a condition requiring additional medical evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can chiropractic care help hip pain?

Some people with hip pain benefit from conservative care that combines manual treatment, exercise, and movement-based rehabilitation. Treatment depends on the underlying cause of the pain.

Is my hip pain actually coming from my back?

Sometimes. Conditions involving the lumbar spine or sacroiliac joint can refer pain into the hip region. A thorough examination helps distinguish between these possibilities.

Can I continue exercising?

Many patients can continue modified activity while recovering. Recommendations depend on the cause of your symptoms and your examination findings.

Do you treat runners with hip pain?

Yes. We frequently evaluate hip pain related to running, recreational sports, and other physical activities.

How long will recovery take?

Recovery depends on the diagnosis, severity of symptoms, overall health, activity demands, and consistency with treatment and home exercises.
