Hip Pain Treatment in Overland Park

Hip pain is a common complaint that can significantly impact your ability to walk, exercise, and perform daily activities. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint designed for stability and mobility, but when problems develop, they can cause pain in the hip joint itself, the groin, outer hip, buttocks, or even radiate down the thigh.

The hip joint is surrounded by strong muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursae (fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction). Common causes of hip pain include osteoarthritis, hip bursitis (trochanteric bursitis), tendinitis, hip impingement (femoroacetabular impingement), labral tears, IT band syndrome, muscle strains, and referred pain from the lumbar spine or sacroiliac joint.

Many hip problems develop gradually from repetitive stress, poor biomechanics, muscle imbalances, or age-related wear and tear. Athletes and active individuals in Overland Park who enjoy running on the Indian Creek Trail, hiking at the Overland Park Arboretum, or training at local gyms are particularly susceptible to overuse hip injuries. However, hip pain can affect anyone, including those with sedentary lifestyles or desk jobs that involve prolonged sitting.

At Move Muscle & Joint, we specialize in identifying the root cause of your hip pain through comprehensive assessment of your movement patterns, joint mechanics, and muscle function. Our approach addresses not just the hip itself, but also the spine, pelvis, and lower extremities to ensure optimal alignment and function throughout your entire kinetic chain.

Using evidence-based treatments including chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and myofascial release, we help patients throughout Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, Lenexa, and surrounding areas restore pain-free hip function and return to the activities they love—without surgery or long-term medication use.
