Hip Pain

Chiropractic care for Hip Pain

Hip discomfort can change how you walk, exercise, sleep, and move through your day. Whether you’re feeling a pinch during squats, an ache on the outside of your hip, or stiffness after sitting, understanding what’s contributing is the first step.

At Core Lifestyle Clinic, Dr. Neil Crane and our team evaluate your symptoms and movement to build a plan around your needs. Our Dallas clinic on West Lovers Lane serves patients in 75209, Inwood Village, Highland Park, University Park, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Understanding Your Hip Pain

Pain around the hip can come from the joint, surrounding muscles and tendons, or nearby structures such as the lower back. Possible causes include muscle strains, tendon irritation, bursitis, and arthritis. The location of your pain offers useful clues, but an examination helps determine the appropriate next step.

Common concerns we evaluate include:

• Pain along the outside of the hip, particularly when lying on that side.

• Groin or front-of-hip discomfort during bending or squatting.

• Stiffness when getting up from a chair or out of the car.

• Pain during walking, running, stairs, or workouts.

• Tightness or discomfort around the glutes and hip flexors.

• Hip discomfort that occurs alongside low back pain.

An Assessment That Looks at How You Move

We start by listening: when your symptoms began, what aggravates them, and which activities you want to return to. Your examination may include hip mobility, strength, walking mechanics, and assessment of the lower back and surrounding muscles.

We explain our findings and discuss whether conservative care is appropriate. If your symptoms suggest a condition that needs imaging or evaluation by another healthcare professional, we’ll help guide that next step.

Personalized Care for Hip Pain

Your plan may include a combination of hands-on treatment, exercise, and practical changes to your routine.

Joint Mobility & Chiropractic Care
When appropriate, we use joint mobilization or adjustments to address movement restrictions identified during your examination. Treatment may involve the hip or related areas, such as the lower back, depending on your findings.

Soft Tissue & Myofascial Therapy
Targeted work around the glutes, hip flexors, and surrounding muscles may be included to address tenderness and muscular discomfort. Techniques are selected and adjusted to your tolerance.

Strengthening & Movement Exercises
We guide you through exercises for hip and glute strength, movement control, and the activities that matter to you. Your plan progresses according to your symptoms and ability.

Individualized Mobility Guidance
A painful hip doesn’t always need more stretching. We help identify which movements are useful and which may need modification, with practical guidance for sitting, sleeping, walking, and training.

Extended appointments offer more time for focused care. Depending on your needs and provider, options may include cupping, scraping, red light and near-infrared therapy, or dry needling with Dr. Juan Peña.

Progress Built Around Your Life

Our goal is to help you move with greater comfort and confidence. We monitor meaningful changes—such as easier stairs, more comfortable sleep, or improved tolerance for exercise—and adjust your care as you progress.

When Hip Pain Needs Urgent Evaluation

Seek emergency care if you cannot walk or put weight on your leg, or have severe hip pain after a fall or injury. Sudden severe pain without an injury, or a hot, swollen hip with fever or feeling unwell, requires urgent medical evaluation.
