“How often should you see a chiropractor for hip pain?”

Depends on the severity and how it has been going on. I have patients who are good to go after a couple treatments and others for a handful of weeks before theyre good to go. Everyone responds differently as well.

Hip pain can be caused by muscle imbalance as well as osseous changes and other pathologies. You should see your chiropractor for hip pain and follow their advice. Here at our clinic, if hip pain does not begin to resolve within 3 visits (at least a 50% improvement in pain level and function), I would advise imaging be done to determine the cause. Xray will show most bone problems, MRI or CT scan may be required to see everything contributing to your pain. If your activity level is high, you may want to evaluate your workouts or activity to make sure you are not stressing the hip in a major fashion, causing pain to recur often. Thanks for your question, Dr Armour, Armour Chiropractic, armourchiro.com

It depends. How long the problem has been there, how severe the problem is (degeneration? soft tissue damage? underlying causes? nature of injury?) will all contribute to your care plan with the chiropractor you choose to see. There are also different chiropractors who do different techniques and approaches that require different timelines. Another factor for timeline would be your goal and your comfort.
