Hip Pain
Is Hip Pain Slowing You Down?
Hip pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages, often limiting mobility and interfering with everyday activities such as walking, sitting, or bending. The hip is a major weight-bearing joint, responsible for providing stability and range of motion to the lower body. When this joint becomes strained or misaligned, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced function—not just in the hip, but throughout the entire musculoskeletal system.
One of the most overlooked causes of hip pain is spinal misalignment. When the spine or pelvis is out of balance, it can alter the way your hips bear weight and move, leading to muscle imbalances and joint stress. These structural issues may result from poor posture, previous injuries, or biomechanical dysfunctions that develop gradually over time. Even a slight imbalance in leg length or pelvic tilt can place uneven pressure on the hip joint, causing chronic discomfort.
Sports injuries and repetitive use—especially in activities involving walking, jogging, running, jumping, or twisting—can also contribute to hip pain by straining the surrounding muscles, tendons, or cartilage. Similarly, age-related degeneration, such as osteoarthritis, can break down the protective cartilage in the hip joint, resulting in inflammation, pain, and limited range of motion.
Poor posture, particularly prolonged sitting or standing with uneven weight distribution, can also shift pressure to the hips and cause them to compensate for spinal or core instability. Over time, this compensation can lead to tightness, joint dysfunction, and pain that radiates into the lower back or legs. Identifying the root cause—whether it’s postural, structural, or injury-related—is key to finding lasting relief from hip pain.
Top 10 Culprits of Hip Pain
Our Solution to Hip Pain
At Optimal Spine in London, we take a comprehensive, structural approach to hip pain by identifying and correcting the root cause—rather than simply masking symptoms. Many patients with chronic or severe hip pain come to us after months or even years of limited mobility, difficulty walking, or reliance on painkillers. Through our expertise in chiropractic care and Corrective Chiropractic Care using Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP), we’ve helped countless individuals regain their freedom of movement and enjoy life pain-free.
Hip pain is often the result of underlying issues in the spine or pelvis. When spinal alignment is off, it can lead to uneven weight distribution and abnormal stress on the hip joints, muscles, and ligaments. This imbalance causes pain, inflammation, and reduced flexibility over time. At Optimal Spine, we use advanced digital imaging, postural analysis, and structural assessments to pinpoint these imbalances and design a customized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
CBP is a research-backed technique that goes beyond symptom relief. By combining precise chiropractic adjustments with postural correction and spinal rehabilitation, we help restore the body’s natural alignment and relieve the pressure that contributes to hip pain. Many of our patients—once scheduled for injections or even hip surgery—have experienced such significant improvement that they were able to cancel those procedures, stop taking medications, and return to activities they thought were no longer possible.
With three convenient locations across Greater London, Optimal Spine is proud to provide natural, non-invasive care for hip pain rooted in science and results. Whether you want to walk without pain, travel comfortably, get back into sports, or simply enjoy daily life again, our team is here to help you move better, feel stronger, and live free from hip pain.
