Chiropractic Care for Hip Pain in Itasca & Elk Grove Village, IL

Restore Movement, Eliminate Discomfort, and Regain Control—Naturally

Hip pain can interfere with everything from walking and sitting to sleeping and exercising. Whether it’s sharp, dull, radiating, or stiff, hip pain is often a sign of deeper postural or joint imbalances. At Quest Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we provide safe, non-invasive treatment to relieve pain, improve mobility, and help you get back to living without limitation.

Why Choose Quest Chiropractic for Hip Pain Relief?

Dr. Eldon Meeks has over 20 years of experience treating hip and pelvic dysfunction with a focus on whole-body alignment and function. He understands how the spine, pelvis, and legs all work together, and how imbalances in one area can lead to chronic hip pain or injury.

Our approach to hip pain includes:

• 🟢 Gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore balance to the hips, pelvis, and lower spine
• 🟢 Red & infrared light therapy to reduce inflammation and support tissue repair
• 🟢 Deep Muscle Stimulator (DMS) therapy to release tight muscles and improve movement
• 🟢 Custom orthotic and gait support (if needed)
• 🟢 Postural, movement, and rehab guidance for lasting relief

We focus on long-term correction, not just temporary relief—helping you move better and hurt less.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

• Pelvic misalignment or leg length discrepancy
• Arthritis or joint degeneration
• Bursitis or tendonitis
• Sciatica or nerve impingement
• Muscle imbalance or weakness
• Postural dysfunction
• Overuse from exercise or work
• Injury from falls or lifting
• Pregnancy-related pelvic shifting

Because the hip is a weight-bearing joint, it’s often affected by spinal and foot alignment, which is why a chiropractic evaluation is essential.

Symptoms of Hip Dysfunction We Commonly Treat

• Aching or stiffness in the hip or groin
• Sharp or stabbing pain with movement
• Pain that radiates to the thigh, glute, or lower back
• Clicking, locking, or catching in the hip joint
• Pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or walking
• Reduced range of motion or limping
• Discomfort while lying on one side

How Chiropractic Care Helps Hip Pain

✅ Realigns the Pelvis and Spine

Misalignment in the pelvis or lumbar spine can place uneven stress on the hips. Adjustments restore balance and reduce strain.

✅ Relieves Muscle and Joint Tension

DMS therapy targets tight hip flexors, glutes, and surrounding muscles to improve function and reduce pain.

✅ Reduces Inflammation and Supports Healing

Red and infrared light therapy stimulates circulation, relieves pain, and promotes tissue recovery deep within the joint.

✅ Improves Posture and Gait

We identify and correct faulty movement patterns and foot mechanics that contribute to chronic hip stress.

✅ Prevents Further Degeneration

By restoring balance and movement early, chiropractic care helps protect the hip joint from long-term wear and tear.
