Hip Pain Treatment in Bainbridge Island
Hip pain can make walking, climbing stairs and sleeping on your side uncomfortable. At Island Health & Chiropractic, we help patients ease hip pain and move with more confidence.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that carries your body weight with every step. Pain can come from the joint, the muscles and tendons around it, or from the lower back and pelvis.
Conditions That Cause Hip Pain
- Arthritis and other degenerative changes
- Hip bursitis (inflamed fluid sacs on the outer hip)
- Hip tendinitis
- Hip labral tears
- Sacroiliac (SI) joint and pelvic problems
- Pain referred from the lower back or sciatica
Some hip conditions, such as avascular necrosis, need medical management. We screen for these and refer when needed.
Is Hip Replacement Surgery the Only Option?
Hip replacement can be the right choice for some people, but surgery carries risks and a long recovery. For many patients, conservative care is worth trying first.
We assess your hips, pelvis, lower back and walking pattern, then use gentle adjustments, laser therapy, soft-tissue work and strengthening exercises to reduce pain and improve mobility. We coordinate with your physician if surgery becomes the best path.
