Hip Pain Care in Olney, MD

Hip discomfort can make walking, climbing stairs, getting out of a chair, or staying active more difficult. At Moss Chiropractic and Wellness in Olney, Maryland, we listen to what you are experiencing and take an individual approach to discussing your care options.

Understanding hip pain

Pain may be felt in the groin, along the outside of the hip, or around the buttock. It can relate to the hip joint, surrounding muscles and tendons, or sometimes the lower back. A strain, irritation from activity, or arthritis are among the possibilities, but symptoms alone cannot establish the cause.

Let us know if the discomfort began after an injury, limits your movement, affects sleep, or keeps returning. Your health history and an appropriate examination help guide what should happen next.

What to expect at our Olney office

We will ask about where and when the pain occurs, your activities, previous injuries, and your goals. A chiropractor may assess your movement and related areas, then explain the findings and whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you. Depending on the assessment, the discussion may include individualized care, practical movement guidance, or a referral to another healthcare professional. No single approach is right for every cause of hip pain.

When to seek urgent medical care

Do not wait for a chiropractic appointment if you have severe hip pain after a fall or injury, cannot walk or put weight on the leg, or have a hot, swollen hip with fever. Seek prompt medical evaluation instead. For more guidance, see the NHS hip pain guidance.

If your symptoms are not urgent, request a consultation to talk through your concerns. You can also learn about our approaches to back pain and knee pain when those areas are part of your concerns.
