The hip joint, the largest and most used joint in the body, is essential for supporting weight and enabling a wide range of movements. This “ball and socket” joint allows for extensive mobility, letting the legs move freely in various directions.
Hip pain, characterized by soreness or sharp pain in the hip joint, can significantly impact your quality of life. It is a prevalent issue affecting individuals of all ages, caused by numerous conditions and injuries.
At Flynn Chiro, I focus on accurately diagnosing the root causes of hip discomfort to provide a tailored treatment plan. My chiropractic care for hip joint pain includes manual adjustments, soft tissue mobilization, pelvic blocking, activator techniques, targeted exercises, and stretching.
