Whether your hip or leg pain is directly coming from your back, or are isolated to a specific area of the hip or leg, our chiropractic providers have experience treating it.
What Causes Hip and Leg Pain?
Sometimes pain in the hip or leg is what’s called radiating or referred pain. In these cases, the cause of the discomfort may actually be in the joints, muscles, or nerves of the lower back or pelvis regions. Other times the cause of pain may be in the joints, muscles, or nerves of the hip or leg.
In both cases, many causes of hip and leg pain often respond well to care from a chiropractic physician. Our chiropractors will examine you and make a diagnosis based on their findings, discuss with you the nature of the injury, and advise you on the treatment options to get you out of pain and back to your normal routine as fast as possible.
