Hip Pain Treatment in Chicago
Hip pain treatment in Chicago for deep aches in the hip, groin or outer thigh that make sitting, walking and sleeping hard. At True Precision Rehab in River North, Dr. Parth Sharma, DC checks the hip, low back and pelvis together, because pain in one place often starts in another.
When hip pain treatment can help
Hip pain can come from the joint, the muscles around it, or the low back and pelvis. People most often come to us with:
-
Pain on the outside of the hip that hurts when you lie on that side
-
Deep glute pain after long hours of sitting
-
Stiffness getting out of a chair or a car
-
Pinching at the front of the hip in a squat or lunge
-
Hip pain in runners, lifters and walkers
-
Hip and groin tightness that returns after stretching
See a doctor or go to urgent care first if you cannot put weight on the leg after a fall, have sudden severe groin pain, a hot swollen joint with fever, or loss of bladder control along with back or hip pain.
How hip pain treatment works
The hip is a deep ball-and-socket joint wrapped in strong muscles. When the glutes are weak or the hip flexors are tight, the joint and the tendons on its outer edge take extra strain. The low back and pelvis share nerves and muscles with the hip, so a problem there can feel like hip pain. We test hip motion, strength and how your pelvis and spine move, then treat what the exam shows. Tendon pain on the outside of the hip may be treated with shockwave.
Our hip pain treatment process
-
Assessment first. We test hip motion and strength, and check your low back, pelvis and walking pattern.
-
Release and mobilize. Soft tissue work, dry needling or adjustments for tight muscles and stiff joints.
-
Tendon care when it fits. Shockwave for stubborn pain on the outside of the hip.
-
Build the hip. Strength and control exercises for the glutes and core so the pain does not return.
You will leave each visit knowing what to do, and what to avoid, until the next one.

Hip pain questions
Can my low back cause hip pain?
Yes. Nerves and muscles from the low back and pelvis can send pain into the hip and thigh. We check both areas so we treat the true source, not only the sore spot.
Should I rest my hip or keep moving?
A short rest can help a flare, but long rest usually leaves the hip stiffer. Most people do better with gentle movement. We will show you which activities are fine and which to pause.
Do you treat hip pain from running?
Yes. Runners often have tight hip flexors, weak glutes or tendon pain at the outer hip. We look at your training and how you move, then build a plan around both.
