Hips: The Anchor for Your Legs

Your hips are made up of a lot of moving parts

Just like other major joints in your body, your hips are not just one single bone or part. They are a collection of bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles that all work together to give you your wide range of motion. But just like those other joints, hips are susceptible to several different conditions that each target a different piece of your body’s natural mechanism.

The hip joint is intended to offer weight bearing ability and stability. It helps us with bending, squatting, and staying active. The areas where hip pain is experienced can be simply annoying or debilitating. Furthermore, hip conditions might throw off not only your gate but your posture as well. If your hip pain is left unattended, other conditions may come about throughout the rest of your spine.

Understanding Hip Pain

 Hip pain can interfere with walking, sitting, exercising, and even sleeping. At Concept Chiropractic & Regenerative Medicine in Fairfax, VA, we treat hip pain by addressing the root cause — whether it’s arthritis, tendonitis, labral tears, bursitis, or nerve compression — instead of masking symptoms with medication.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Highest Quality

Bursitis

Inflammation of the fluid sacs cushioning the hip joint.

Highest Quality

Arthritis

Arthritis (Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis) – gradual cartilage breakdown leading to stiffness.

Highest Quality

Labral Tears

Damage to the cartilage lining the hip socket, often from sports or trauma.

Highest Quality

Sciatica & Nerve Irritation

Sciatica & Nerve Irritation – radiating pain from the spine into the hip.

Highest Quality

Muscle Strains & Imbalances

Overuse or weak gluteal/hip flexor muscles.

Traditional Treatments for Hip Pain (and Their Downsides)

Conventional treatment for hip pain often includes anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, or eventually surgery. While these may provide temporary relief, they don’t address the root cause and can come with risks like side effects or joint replacement.

  • Medications (NSAIDs, muscle relaxers): Provide temporary relief but can lead to stomach or kidney issues if used long-term.
  • Steroid Injections: Reduce inflammation but do not repair tissue; repeated use may damage cartilage.
  • Hip Surgery or Replacement: Invasive, costly, requires long recovery, and carries risks of complications.

At Concept Chiropractic + Regenerative Medicine, we focus on non-surgical, natural solutions that support long-term joint health.

Advanced Solutions – Regenerative Medicine and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

We provide comprehensive, non-surgical solutions for hip pain at our Fairfax clinic.

Regenerative Medicine for Hip Pain

Regenerative Medicine is a breakthrough therapy that supports true tissue regeneration. These specialized cells can transform into cartilage, bone, or connective tissue, making them ideal for hip conditions caused by degeneration or injury.

Advantages of Regenerative Medicine for Hips:

  • Repairs and regenerates damaged tissues
  • Reduces inflammation at the source
  • May slow or stop progression of arthritis
  • Can help patients avoid hip replacement surgery
  • Provides longer-lasting improvement than cortisone injections

Potential Side Effects:

  • Mild soreness or swelling after injection
  • Results appear gradually over weeks to months
  • Rare risk of infection

    PRP Therapy for Hip Pain & Arthritis

    PRP therapy is a leading option for patients with hip arthritis, labral tears, or chronic inflammation who want to avoid surgery. By concentrating your own platelets and growth factors, PRP injections stimulate repair and reduce inflammation in the hip joint.

     

    • PRP injections stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support cartilage health.
    • Particularly beneficial for early-to-moderate arthritis, labral tears, and tendon injuries.
    • Promotes healing without the risks of synthetic drugs or invasive surgery.

    Advantages of PRP for Hip Pain:

    • Minimally invasive with natural healing effects
    • Can delay or reduce the need for hip replacement surgery
    • Targets the source of inflammation and tissue damage

    Possible Side Effects:

    • Mild soreness, swelling, or stiffness after the procedure
    • Rare risk of infection
    • Gradual results (healing occurs over weeks to months, not overnight)

      THE CHALLENGE WITH GETTING AN ACCURATE HIP DIAGNOSIS

      Your hip/pelvic region is a very dense area in your body. This means that on top of all the vital bones, muscles and connective tissues located here, many other vital organs lie within the pelvic cavity. Given how close in proximity these organs and connective tissues are, it can be very challenging to get an accurate look with X-rays. Below are some of the common diagnoses for hip pain:

      • Hip Pain/Inflammation
      • Labrum Tear
      • Hip Osteoarthritis
      • Hip Bursitis
      • Stiffness

      Advantages of Our Hip Pain Treatments

      • Non-surgical care to delay or avoid hip replacement surgery

      • Personalized treatment plans based on your lifestyle and goals

      Frequently Asked Questions FAQs

      Can chiropractic care really help hip pain?

      Yes. By correcting misalignments in the spine and pelvis, chiropractic adjustments reduce stress on the hip joint, improving movement and easing discomfort.

      How does regenerative medicine compare to cortisone shots?

      Every patient is different. Some improve within weeks, while others need longer-term care depending on the severity of the injury.

      Can regenerative medicine help me avoid hip replacement?

      Many patients with moderate arthritis experience significant improvement from PRP and chiropractic care, allowing them to delay or avoid surgery.

      How long does it take to notice results?

      Some patients feel improvement in weeks, while others see gradual progress over several months as tissue healing continues.

       

      Is PRP therapy safe?

      Yes. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of side effects is very low. Mild soreness at the injection site is the most common temporary effect.

      KNOWING THE BEST OPTION FOR YOURSELF

      The regenerative cell treatment we provide is a natural alternative to surgery, pain medications, and cortisone steroid injections. Regenerative cell treatments help reduce inflammation while removing or decreasing stiffness and pain. Cells that we inject have high growth factors which helps to minimize inflammation while healing the joint. The treatment is non-invasive and can be performed in our clinic. It doesn’t take very long to act so it won’t be long before you start living your life free from hip pain again. It is a drugless treatment that actually heals the body instead of just masking the symptoms.
