Hip Pain

Hip pain is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed musculoskeletal presentations — lateral hip pain in particular is frequently labelled as bursitis when the underlying issue is gluteal tendinopathy.

COMMON CONDITIONS

Accurate diagnosis matters enormously for hip conditions — because loading the hip incorrectly (as often happens with standard stretching advice for gluteal tendinopathy) can worsen the condition. We assess the hip in the context of the lumbar spine and lower limb biomechanics before any treatment begins.
Treatment combines chiropractic mobilisation of the hip and lumbar spine, acupuncture and dry needling targeting the gluteal musculature and surrounding tissue, and shockwave therapy for tendinopathy presentations
