Hip pain is a common complaint that can result from a variety of causes. Pain can be in the front, side, or back of the hip. Sometimes it is caused by tightness from imbalanced muscles. It can also be caused by irritation of the nerves, which might feel like burning pain, tenderness, or numbness in the lower back or outer hip and thigh.
Understanding the cause of Hip pain is the first step to finding lasting pain relief. Most traditional treatments fail to address the root cause, and an achy hip can quickly become severe and chronic, often leading to a joint replacement.
One of the most common causes of neck pain is repetitive stress of the neck muscles, tendons, and ligaments within these structures. Individuals who spend most of their day sitting at work, or doing sedentary activities, have a high-risk factor for developing this condition. The risk for developing neck pain is highest for those who sit in poor posture, with the head in a flexed forward position.
Several other causes of neck pain are also posture related, such as herniated discs, whiplash injuries, and Osteoarthritis (developing from the wear and tear of cartilage and bones). Poor posture puts your cervical spine, disks, and muscles in the neck at risk of injury and damage.
Remedies for hip pain are often limited and provide only short-term relief. Fortunately, there is another proven method that focuses on the root cause of pain, resulting in lasting relief for both acute and chronic hip pain.
Ice, heat, and pain relief creams are topical remedies that might feel good when applied but usually wear off in a very short amount of time.
Steroid shots and surgeries are isolated to the location of the pain are unsuccessful when the root cause is elsewhere in the body.
General stretching and massage only provide short-term relief since their focus is on the site of the pain and not the root cause.
Over-the-counter and prescription meds only mask the pain temporarily, which often results in symptoms getting worse over time.

The root cause of hip pain is usually an imbalance, muscle weakness, or crookedness elsewhere. Nerve impingement, labrum tears, cartilage degeneration, bursitis, and muscle tightness are only part of the problem that needs to be addressed. When you have pain, it’s important to look for deeper issues or imbalances elsewhere in the body.
If the natural sitting or standing alignment of the head, shoulders, spine, pelvis, knees, and feet are not balanced and level, then the hip joint becomes compromised. The muscle tightness in some areas and weakness in others causes the top of the leg bone (head of femur) to shift or twist slightly out of its normal and optimal position in the hip joint. When this happens, the head of the femur is no longer sitting flush in the joint and over time the cartilage will wear unevenly causing pain and further complications. Compensations from flat arches, knock knees, rounded shoulders or a flat spine can all contribute to the hip getting out of balance. To solve most hip pain quickly, all of the compensations should be addressed together, alongside the focus on the hip itself.
For treatment of hip pain to be truly effective, it must focus on correcting posture and straightening the joints from head to toe. Posture Therapy is the only method that provides whole-body posture correction and pain relief.
