Less pain. More life.
Move Better, Live Without Hip Pain
Hip pain can make everyday activities—walking, standing, climbing stairs, exercising, or even getting out of a chair—feel difficult. Whether your discomfort comes from the hip joint, surrounding muscles and tendons, or your lower back and nerves, finding the underlying cause is an important first step toward lasting improvement.
At Baker Chiropractic, we take a personalized approach to hip pain. Our goal is to understand what may be contributing to your discomfort and develop a conservative care plan designed to support mobility and help you get back to the activities you enjoy.
Start by understanding your symptoms, movement and everyday goals.
Understand your symptoms
Understanding Hip Pain
The hip is one of the body's largest and most important joints. It supports your body weight and allows you to walk, bend, sit, stand and move comfortably.
Hip pain can originate directly from the hip joint or from surrounding muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. In some cases, discomfort that feels like hip pain may actually be related to the lower back or pelvis.
At Baker Chiropractic, we look beyond the location of your pain to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and whether conservative care is appropriate.
Is this your pain?
Is Hip Pain Affecting Your Daily Life?
Hip pain can show up in different ways. You might notice one or more of the following:
Seek urgent medical care if you cannot bear weight after an injury, the hip appears deformed, pain is sudden and severe, or the joint is hot/swollen with fever. New hip pain with chest pain, shortness of breath, or significant leg swelling also needs prompt medical attention.
Find possible contributors
What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain can involve the joint itself or nearby muscles, tendons, and nerves. Common contributors may include:
Joint irritation or arthritis
Changes in the hip joint can contribute to stiffness, discomfort and difficulty with weight-bearing activities.
Muscle strain or overuse
Repeated activity or sudden increases in workload can irritate hip flexors, gluteal muscles and surrounding tissues.
Tendon irritation
Irritation of tendons around the hip can make walking, climbing stairs or lying on one side uncomfortable.
Lower-back or nerve referral
Problems involving the lower back or nerves, including hip pain, may cause pain that is felt around the hip or thigh.
A focused examination can help determine whether symptoms may be related to the joint, muscles, tendons, nerves, or more than one area—and whether a medical evaluation or imaging is appropriate.
Your care plan
How We Help at Baker Chiropractic
We start by listening to your concerns and learning how hip pain affects your daily routine. Your visit may include a review of your symptoms and health history, a focused examination of the hip, pelvis and lower back, and a discussion of whether conservative care is suitable.

Between visits
What You Can Do at Home
Depending on the cause of your hip pain, you may benefit from temporarily reducing high-impact or painful activities, keeping movement gentle and comfortable, and gradually building strength when appropriate. Changes to sitting height or sleeping position may reduce strain for some people. Ice or heat may offer comfort. Avoid forcing painful movements, and ask a healthcare professional which exercises are right for you.

What Research Supports
For many muscle, joint and spine problems, clinical guidelines recommend conservative, non-drug care first. Exercise, staying active and hands-on care may all be part of a plan.
Learn More →
For many muscle, joint and spine conditions, clinical guidelines recommend trying conservative, non-surgical care first, unless there are warning signs.
- Exercise and staying active are a key part of care for most of these conditions.
- Hands-on care, such as chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilisation and soft tissue work, may help some patients, mainly when combined with exercise.
- Imaging such as X-rays or MRI is not needed for everyone. It is used when your exam shows it is likely to change your care.
- The strength of the research differs by condition. For some conditions the evidence is stronger, and for others it is more limited. We explain this honestly when we discuss your plan.
What Our Exam Measures
Depending on your symptoms, your exam may check movement, range of motion, strength, sensation, reflexes and how your symptoms affect daily life. This gives you a clear starting point.
Learn More →
Every assessment at Baker follows four steps: Measure → Explain → Plan → Reassess.
Measure. Based on your needs, your exam may include:
- Your health history, symptoms and goals
- Orthopedic and neurological tests, such as reflexes, strength and sensation
- Range of motion of the affected area
- Muscle strength, comparing both sides
- A posture, movement or walking check
- X-rays, only when your exam shows they are needed
Explain. We go through your findings in plain language and give you a written summary to take home.
Plan. Each part of your plan is linked to something we measured.
Reassess. At set check-points, we repeat key measurements so you can compare your progress with your starting point.
What the Measurement Cannot Tell Us
No single test can explain every cause of pain or predict a recovery time. We read your results together with your history and how you feel day to day.
Learn More →
Measurements help us understand how your body is working, but they have limits:
- An X-ray shows bones and joints. It does not show how much pain you feel.
- Many people have changes on an X-ray or MRI and no pain at all.
- Range-of-motion and strength numbers show how you move and function. They do not measure pain directly.
- A test result or scan is one piece of information. It is not proof that pain is cured.
That's why we never base your care on one test alone. We combine your exam, your history and your own report of how you are doing.
When We Refer to Another Doctor
Some conditions need medical care first. If your symptoms or exam suggest it, we will refer you to the right doctor or specialist.
Read Warning Signs →
We will refer you, or ask you to get medical care, if you have:
- Pain after a serious fall, accident or injury
- Numbness, tingling or weakness that is getting worse
- Fever, unexplained weight loss or a history of cancer
- A joint that is red, hot and swollen
- Severe pain at night or at rest that does not change with position
- Symptoms that are not improving after a fair trial of care
If chiropractic care is not right for your condition, we will tell you honestly. We are also happy to work alongside your medical doctor, physical therapist or specialist.
Get emergency medical care right away for: loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or inner thighs, sudden or worsening weakness, a sudden severe headache, chest pain, or trouble speaking, seeing or walking. Do not wait for a chiropractic visit.
Results Vary from Person to Person
Results depend on your condition, how long you have had symptoms, your general health, your activity and how you respond to care. No outcome or recovery time is guaranteed.
Learn More →
Chiropractic care may help appropriately selected patients manage certain muscle, joint and spine symptoms, move better and return to their activities. But every person is different. How quickly you improve can depend on:
- Your condition and how long you have had it
- Your work, activity level and sleep
- Your general health
- How well you can follow your home exercises
Some conditions need medical evaluation or care from more than one provider. That's why we re-check your progress at set points, instead of promising results.
