Hip Pain
Hip pain can limit your ability to walk, exercise, or even sit comfortably. At Newman Chiropractic in Sandhurst, we help patients from Camberley, Bracknell, and across Berkshire uncover the underlying causes of hip pain and design personalised treatment plans that restore mobility, relieve pain, and prevent future issues.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
​
Hip pain can be caused by a combination of musculoskeletal, neurological, and lifestyle factors. Understanding the root cause is essential for effective treatment:
​
Musculoskeletal Causes:
-
Joint degeneration (osteoarthritis or wear-and-tear)
-
Labral tears affecting cartilage inside the hip joint
-
Muscle imbalances in the glutes, hip flexors, and hamstrings
-
Tendinopathy or inflammation of the tendons around the hip
Biomechanical Factors:
-
Poor posture or gait abnormalities
-
Leg length discrepancies causing uneven load on the hips
-
Overuse injuries from running, cycling, or sports
Neurological Causes:
-
Nerve irritation from the lower back or sacroiliac joint
-
Piriformis syndrome compressing the sciatic nerve
-
Functional neurological imbalances affecting muscle coordination and stability
Lifestyle & Environmental Triggers:
-
Sedentary habits causing tight hip flexors and weak glutes
-
Prolonged sitting at a desk or in the car
-
High-impact sports without proper conditioning
