At the KiRO Clinic, we help patients overcome hip pain by identifying the root cause, restoring joint function and treating muscular imbalances that create tension and dysfunction around the hip.
At the KiRO Clinic, we help patients overcome hip pain by identifying the root cause, restoring joint function and treating muscular imbalances that create tension and dysfunction around the hip.
The hip is a complex joint influenced by the spine, pelvis, knees, and surrounding muscles. Pain in the hip region may stem from joint inflammation, nerve irritation, impingement within the joint, muscle weakness or even referred pain from the lower back.
Our Chiropractors are uniquely trained to assess how your entire musculoskeletal system (kinetic chain) impacts your hip function and to create a personalised plan that treats both the pain and its underlying cause. See below for common hip conditions we treat.
Common hip conditions we treat
FAI occurs when extra bone on the femur or hip socket causes the bones to rub together abnormally, especially during bending or rotation.
Symptoms may include:
Sharp or electric pain
Sciatica or arm pain
Tingling, numbness, or weakness
ain that worsens when sitting, bending, or coughing
We help relieve stress within the joint and improve mobility by correcting pelvic mechanics, helping the femur to translate to a different section of the hip joint, reducing muscle tension, and guided retraining to strengthen specific muscles which hold the results.
The hip flexors (especially the iliopsoas) can become tight or overactive from prolonged sitting, running, or postural imbalance, leading to:
Deep groin pain
Discomfort when raising the knee
Reduced hip extension or walking stride
Our Chiropractic treatment targets underlying pelvic misalignments, tension in the hip flexors and poor movement patterns that lead to overuse.
Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction between bones and soft tissue. When inflamed, they cause localized hip pain.
Greater Trochanteric Bursitis causes pain on the outside of the hip, often worse at night or when lying on the affected side.
Iliopsoas Bursitis causes groin pain and may feel like snapping or catching when lifting the leg.
Hip osteoarthritis involves gradual degeneration of the cartilage in the joint, often accompanied by:
Stiffness in the morning or after inactivity
Groin, thigh, or buttock pain
Grinding or catching sensations
Reduced range of motion
Our goal is to preserve joint mobility, reduce surrounding muscle tension and keep you as mobile and functional as possible.

Not all hip pain originates in the hip itself.
It may be referred from:
Lumbar spine (L2-L4)
Sacroiliac joint
Lower abdominal or pelvic floor muscles
Our thorough assessment helps identify the true source of pain so we can treat it effectively at its origin.
As the pelvis shifts to accommodate a growing baby, many women experience:
Hip and groin pain
SI joint discomfort
Gluteal tension or sciatica
Instability when walking
