Welcome to Axis Chiropractic, P.A. - your path to wellness

Hip pain can make walking, climbing stairs, exercising, working, or even getting in and out of a vehicle uncomfortable. Symptoms may begin after an injury or gradually develop from repetitive activity, physical work, prolonged sitting, or age-related changes.

At Axis Chiropractic, we evaluate and treat hip pain for patients throughout New Ulm and surrounding Southern Minnesota communities. Treatment is individualized based on your symptoms, activity level, and what's contributing to the problem.

Walk-ins are welcome during business hours, and same-day appointments are often available.

Where Does Your Hip Hurt?

Where you feel pain can provide important clues about its source.

Hip-related symptoms may include:

• Pain in the groin or front of the hip
• Pain along the outside of the hip
• Buttock pain
• Stiffness or reduced range of motion
• Pain while walking or climbing stairs
• Discomfort after prolonged sitting or standing
• Pain during exercise

Because several muscles, joints, and other structures surround the hip, not every pain in the area originates from the hip joint itself.

Hip Pain or Lower Back Pain?

The hip, pelvis, and lower back work together during walking, bending, lifting, and most everyday movements.

Problems involving the lower back can sometimes produce pain around the buttock or hip, while a hip problem may change the way you move and place additional stress on surrounding areas.

That's why we evaluate more than simply the location where you feel pain. Your movement, range of motion, lower back, previous injuries, work demands, and aggravating activities may all provide useful information.

Getting You Moving Comfortably

Treatment depends on the likely source of your symptoms.

When chiropractic care is appropriate, treatment may include adjustments or joint mobilization, soft tissue treatment, exercises, and recommendations for modifying activities that aggravate your symptoms.

Our goal is to improve mobility and help you comfortably return to walking, work, exercise, sports, and everyday activities.

When Should Hip Pain Be Evaluated?

Consider an evaluation when hip pain persists, repeatedly returns, restricts movement, or begins interfering with walking, work, sleep, or exercise.

Severe pain following a fall or injury, inability to bear weight, obvious deformity, or other significant symptoms may require prompt medical evaluation.
