Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is one of the technologies offered by the practice and may be considered for selected musculoskeletal or soft-tissue complaints when clinically appropriate.
Hip Pain Care
Hip pain can change the way you walk, sit and move.
Hip discomfort can involve the joint itself, surrounding muscles and tendons, or sometimes pain referred from the lower back. Modern Spine Health and Injury Care begins with an individual evaluation to determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and which conservative care options may be appropriate.
Hip • Joint • Tendon • Referred Pain
Hip pain is not always coming from the hip.
A focused examination can help distinguish a local hip problem from symptoms that may be related to the lower back or surrounding soft tissues.
Evaluation First
The location of pain alone does not always identify the source.
Conservative Options
Shockwave therapy, Class 4 laser therapy and chiropractic/musculoskeletal care may be considered when appropriate.
Individualized Plan
Care recommendations should reflect the specific findings rather than a generic protocol.
Understanding Hip Pain
The hip is built to carry load through a wide range of movement.
Hip pain may be felt in the groin, outer hip, buttock or nearby areas. Some people notice stiffness, aching or pain with walking, standing, climbing stairs, getting out of a chair or lying on one side.
Because hip symptoms can overlap with lower-back and soft-tissue problems, the first step is determining which findings appear most relevant to the complaint.
Some hip symptoms need prompt medical evaluation.
A major injury, inability to bear weight, obvious deformity, sudden severe pain, fever with a hot or swollen joint, or other emergency symptoms should be evaluated promptly.
What May Be Involved
Several structures can create hip-region pain.
Joint Irritation & Degenerative Change
Changes within the hip joint can be associated with stiffness, aching and discomfort during weight-bearing or repeated movement.
Tendon & Soft-Tissue Irritation
Tendons and other soft tissues around the hip can become irritated from overuse, repetitive loading, activity or injury.
Muscular & Movement-Related Problems
Muscles surrounding the hip and pelvis contribute to stability and movement, and irritation or altered mechanics may affect how the area feels and functions.
Referred Pain From The Lower Back
Not every symptom felt around the hip begins in the hip joint. Lower-back or nerve-related problems can sometimes produce pain into the hip or buttock region.
Hip Pain FAQ
Common questions about hip pain care.
They can in some cases. Symptoms from the lower back may be felt in the buttock or hip region, which is one reason evaluation is important before assuming the hip joint is the source.
Modern Spine Health and Injury Care offers shockwave therapy. Whether it is appropriate depends on the specific condition, tissue involved and examination findings.
The practice offers Class 4 laser therapy. It may be considered when appropriate as part of an individualized conservative care plan.
There is no universal timeline. Hip-region pain can have different causes and individual responses vary, so a specific result or recovery time cannot be guaranteed.

Hip Pain
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression works by decompressing the injured disc of your spine, leading to a negative pressure within the disc. This technology is quite advanced because we can target the exact discs which are causing your problem.
The DRX9000.
If you are suffering with chronic lower back pain or chronic neck pain, you may benefit from a surgical alternative known as non surgical decompression therapy. Discover the DRX9000.
Over time, whether there is injury or neglect, the spinal discs in our back begin to degenerate, very similar to a garden not getting water. When this happens, the discs become weak, and can tear causing a herniation.
If these disc injuries are not corrected, continued degeneration occurs until the disc becomes arthritic leading to symptoms such as back pain, leg pain, sciatica and even neuropathy.
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 works by gently distracting these injured discs so as to allow nutrients to be brought back into the disc. Once this occurs, natural healing processes can occur.
How Decompression Works.
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression works by gently decompressing the injured disc of your spine, leading to a negative pressure within the disc. The technology is quite advanced because we can target specific discs which are causing your problem.
The DRX9000 has the capability to treat only those injured discs, leaving other discs alone.
Essentially, this negative pressure creates a vacuum like effect which reduces the herniation. The reduction of the herniation leads to a reduction in pressure off the nerve root. Once this is stabilized, your back pain or leg pain symptoms will be alleviated.
The Process.
Once your case is evaluated and treatment will begin the following steps are initiated. On your first visit you will meet each of our staff and you will be instructed on what is going to happen during treatment that day, and you will also be educated on what you should and should not be doing at home to help your recovery process.
When you start treatment on the DRX9000, you will be fitted with an upper and lower harness. Then, you will stand upright against the machine bed, while our staff slowly lowers you to a more flatten position. If you have trouble lying on your back, don’t worry. This position will be temporary as we provide a knee booster prior to treatment commencing. While on the DRX9000 the specialized computer-controlled table relaxes you. Treatment takes 20-30 minutes, and your treatment plan will be customized to your individual needs and symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Who Qualifies For Spinal Decompression?
Non-surgical spinal decompression(DRX9000) is appropriate for individuals who are over the age of 18 and have persistent or recurrent pain. If you have degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, bulging discs, or have failed back surgery syndrome, you may qualify for this treatment.
How Long Does The Treatment Take?
The treatments typically take between 20-30 minutes and you will have these sessions for several weeks. Depending on your progress, we may decrease these sessions as the pain or condition decreases.
When Will I See Results?
If you choose non-surgical spinal decompression for your condition, you may start to feel a reduction in your symptoms and pain within the first week. A more notable change is typically felt in the second week of your care plan, depending naturally on your condition.
