If you’ve been living with hip pain, you know how much it can impact your daily life—making it hard to sit, stand, walk, or sleep comfortably. Whether your pain came on suddenly or has been building for a while, lasting relief starts with finding the root cause.
At Sioux Center Chiropractic, we help people in Sioux Center, Iowa, and Northwest Iowa get to the bottom of their hip pain and feel better—naturally. Here are four key reasons why chiropractic care is one of the most effective, drug-free ways to manage and resolve hip pain.
1. Chiropractic Adjustments Restore Joint Motion—Including the Hips
Hip pain often starts with joint dysfunction in the spine, pelvis, or hips themselves. When joints aren’t moving as they should—due to restriction, compensation, or imbalance—it can overload nearby tissues, leading to pain, tightness, and reduced mobility.
At our office, we use specific chiropractic adjustments to the spine, pelvis, and hips to restore healthy joint motion and help your body move the way it was designed to.
What this means for you:
-
Reduced tension in the surrounding muscles
-
Improved joint range of motion
-
Better movement patterns and posture
-
Natural relief from stiffness, aches, and referred pain
We focus on restoring optimal joint function—not “putting something back in place”—so your body can heal and perform at its best.
2. We Reduce Inflammation and Muscle Tension at the Source
Many patients dealing with hip pain also experience tight glutes, quads, or low back muscles that are inflamed or overworked. These tissues can restrict movement, irritate nearby structures, and keep you stuck in a pain cycle.
Our care combines manual therapy with modern technology, including:
-
Myofascial release and cupping
-
Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy
-
Class IV Laser Therapy — reduces deep inflammation and stimulates healing
Together, these therapies provide fast relief and long-term healing by addressing both joint and soft tissue contributors to pain.
3. Shockwave Therapy Breaks the Chronic Pain Cycle
For more stubborn or chronic cases of hip pain—especially from gluteal tendinopathy, bursitis, or scar tissue buildup—Shockwave Therapy can be a game-changer.
We offer both Radial and Focused Shockwave Therapy, depending on the depth and type of issue. These treatments use acoustic waves to:
-
Break down adhesions and scar tissue
-
Stimulates blood flow and cellular repair
-
Reduce chronic inflammation
-
Accelerate healing in areas that haven’t responded to other methods
Many patients feel relief after just a few sessions, especially when Shockwave is combined with adjustments and rehab. It’s safe, non-invasive, and has zero downtime.
4. We Help You Move Better and Prevent Future Injury
Hip pain doesn’t just hurt—it changes the way you move. When joint function is restricted, the body compensates, increasing the risk of further injury or strain.
We’re not just here to get you out of pain. We’re here to help you move with strength and confidence again.
Using DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) and functional movement training, we guide you through corrective strategies to:
-
Improve hip and core mobility
-
Strengthen support muscles
-
Restore efficient, pain-free movement patterns
This creates a long-term foundation for hip health and helps you stay active and resilient.
