Hip Pain Treatment

Dr. Hamidi takes a comprehensive approach to hip pain that goes beyond symptom relief. Your first visit includes a thorough evaluation of your gait, hip range of motion, spinal alignment, and muscle balance to identify exactly what is driving your pain.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Precise adjustments to the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, and hip joint itself restore proper alignment and take pressure off compressed nerves and irritated tissues. Many patients notice immediate improvement in hip mobility after their first adjustment.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Our licensed massage therapists work in coordination with Dr. Hamidi to release tight hip flexors, piriformis muscles, and IT band restrictions that contribute to hip pain. This combination of chiropractic adjustment plus massage therapy produces faster, more complete results than either approach alone.

Shockwave Therapy

For stubborn cases of hip bursitis, tendinitis, or chronic soft tissue inflammation, our shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic waves that stimulate healing at the cellular level. This FDA-cleared treatment accelerates recovery and reduces reliance on anti-inflammatory medications.

Rehabilitation Exercises

We prescribe specific strengthening and flexibility exercises targeting the muscles that support your hip joint. These exercises are designed to maintain the corrections achieved during treatment and prevent future episodes.

District Wellness accepts most major insurance plans including Anthem BCBS, CareFirst, Aetna, and Medicare. We also accept Cigna and Kaiser as out-of-network providers.

What causes hip pain that radiates down the leg? Hip pain that radiates down the leg is most commonly caused by sciatic nerve compression in the lower spine, not the hip joint itself. Piriformis syndrome and lumbar disc herniations are frequent culprits. Dr. Hamidi performs a thorough examination to determine whether your pain originates in the hip or the spine, ensuring you receive the right treatment from the start.

Can a chiropractor help with hip bursitis? Yes. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper hip joint mechanics, reducing the abnormal friction that causes bursitis. Combined with soft tissue therapy and shockwave therapy for stubborn inflammation, most patients experience significant relief within 4-6 visits without relying on cortisone injections.

How many chiropractic visits will I need for hip pain? Most hip pain cases respond well to 6-12 visits over 4-8 weeks, depending on the underlying cause and severity. Acute muscle strains may resolve in fewer visits, while chronic conditions like osteoarthritis benefit from ongoing periodic maintenance care. Dr. Hamidi will outline a specific treatment plan during your first visit.

Is chiropractic treatment for hip pain covered by insurance? Yes, most insurance plans cover chiropractic care for hip pain. We are in-network with Anthem BCBS, CareFirst, Aetna, and Medicare. We also provide out-of-network billing for Cigna, Kaiser, and United Health Care. Call us at (571) 568-8496 and we will verify your coverage before your first visit.
