Hip Pain

Hip pain is a common condition that is experienced by our patients, though there are many different areas of the hip that are causing the pain. Some causes of hip pain we see include arthritis, bursitis, and fractures of the hip, tendon strain and muscle strain. Dr. Kent Carlomagno here at Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center provides chiropractic care to help relieve the pain and prevent further damage to the hip joint. In many situations, the hip pain is a result of the body being out of alignment.

 

The symptoms of hip pain not only include pain and stiffness in the hip, but also in the following areas of the body:

• Thigh
• Groin
• Buttocks
• Inside the hip joint
• Outside the hip joint

Chiropractic care helps our patients with hip pain through adjustments and manipulations, massage and preventative care. We locate the cause of the pain and use that to determine the best available treatment. We assess each case individually and work to prevent further pain episodes as much as possible. 

Supplements-- Do they take care of inadequate diet and exercise?

When used correctly, supplements can be a wonderful way to efficiently fill in the gaps of what your body needs, including extra nutrients and minerals that can be difficult to fully intake even with a very healthy diet.  However, if you’re relying on supplements as a substitute for a poor diet and inadequate exercise, you’re probably not going to get much out of them.  Supplements make a difference, but they are not magic pills. If you make the choice to give your body what it needs through activity and proper nutrition, supplements do a fantastic job of supplementing and supporting your efforts—not replacing them.  In the comments, share some of your supplement and health choice success stories.
