Where Can I Find a Chiropractor for Hip Pain in Jacksonville?

Full Swing Healthcare on Beach Blvd in Jacksonville treats hip pain using chiropractic adjustment, dry needling, and soft tissue work targeting the specific structures driving your presentation. We see hip pain patients regularly and it responds well to care when the mechanical cause is properly identified.

A patient came to us from the Baymeadows area after six months of right hip pain that had been written off as a general hip flexor strain. She had stretched, rolled out, and rested with no lasting improvement. When Dr. Muren assessed her he found a restricted right sacroiliac joint that was causing the hip flexors and TFL to fire in compensation with every step. The hip was not the problem. It was bearing the load of a dysfunctional SI joint. Two weeks of SI joint adjustments and dry needling of the hip flexor and TFL trigger points resolved the pain she had been managing for half a year. The right structure was the hip area. The right cause was a joint problem one level up.

Why Hip Pain Needs a Full Mechanical Assessment

Hip pain in Jacksonville patients is commonly misdiagnosed as isolated hip flexor strain, IT band syndrome, or general "hip tightness." Those labels describe the location of the pain but not its origin. The hip is a joint between the lumbar spine above and the knee below. Pain felt in the hip region can originate from a restricted SI joint, a lumbar facet problem, a hip joint itself, or any of the surrounding musculature. Chiropractic for hip pain starts with identifying where the problem actually lives before selecting a treatment approach.

Common Hip Pain Conditions We Treat

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is the most frequent mechanical cause of hip-region pain we see. Hip flexor and TFL strain with underlying SI restriction is a close second. Hip impingement, labral irritation, trochanteric bursitis, piriformis syndrome, and the hip and low back pain pattern that runners and cyclists develop from repetitive hip flexion are all conditions we treat regularly. For patients whose hip pain involves tendon damage such as gluteal tendinopathy or iliotibial band tendinosis, shockwave therapy is available alongside chiropractic care.

How We Treat Hip Pain at Full Swing

Your first visit includes a full lower extremity assessment: range of motion testing, joint provocation tests, gait observation, and palpation of all relevant structures. Dr. Muren identifies the primary driver and secondary contributors before beginning treatment. Chiropractic adjustment addresses restricted SI, lumbar, and hip joints. Dry needling targets the hip flexor, TFL, gluteal, and piriformis trigger points that develop secondary to the mechanical problem. IASTM scraping addresses fascial restrictions in the IT band and TFL that contribute to lateral hip pain.
