Chiropractic Hip Pain Treatments in Rapid City, SD
Our Hip Pain Treatment Approach
At Active Life Chiropractic, our approach to hip pain blends modern rehab techniques with hands-on care to restore movement, strength, and control. We use gentle, targeted chiropractic adjustments to the low back, pelvis, and hips to improve alignment and reduce stress on surrounding joints. Soft tissue therapy helps release tight muscles like the hip flexors, glutes, and piriformis, easing tension and improving circulation. To support long-term results, we incorporate Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) and functional rehab to retrain how your body stabilizes the hip and core together. This approach is especially effective for athletes, postpartum women, and growing kids.
Common Hip Conditions We Treat
Hip pain doesn’t always start at the hip. Often, it’s a combination of dysfunction in the low back, pelvis, or core. Our job is to assess the full system so we can treat the true source—not just the symptoms.
We commonly see patients for:
Hip impingement (FAI)
Sharp, pinching pain in the front of the hip during squats, lunges, or sitting.Hip flexor or glute tightness
Common in athletes, desk workers, and postpartum patients due to postural stress and muscle imbalances.Piriformis syndrome & sciatic-type pain
Deep glute pain that may radiate into the leg or feel like nerve irritation.Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
A common cause of lateral hip pain or instability, especially during pregnancy and postpartum.Groin pain or pubic symphysis dysfunction
Especially common in pregnancy as baby descends deeper into the pelvic floor, causing burning pain into the groin or pelvic region.IT band tension
Often due to compensation patterns and poor glute activation.Growing pains or sports-related injuries in kids
Such as apophysitis, tendon irritation, or alignment issues related to growth spurts.
