Chiropractic Hip Pain Treatments in Kansas City
Are you experiencing hip pain?
Chiropractic Hip pain can be caused by repetitive stress or poor movement patterns. Deep squatting or repetitive hip flexion can compress or cause repetitive strain to muscles that surround and stabilize the hip causing tearing and/or inflammation. Certain muscles like the piriformis can become tight or inflamed in the back of the joint compressing a nerve that can cause symptoms as well.

Hip Impingement
Hip impingement or FAI (femoral acetabular impingement) can be caused by the muscle or labrum being compressed when going into a deep squat or continual sitting in a position where the hips are overly flexed. This can lead to tearing and inflammation causing local pain or pain that radiates around the hip joint.

Piriformis Syndrome
Piriformis syndrome is where the piriformis, a muscle in the back of the hip, becomes tight or inflamed and causes compression of the sciatic nerve. Usually there is pain with sitting and with active motion. Piriformis is quite common in runners and long-distance endurance athletes.
