They use a combination of chiropractic, alternative and complementary therapies, and advanced technology to help you get relief from your hip pain.

Hip pain includes any discomfort you feel in or around your hip joint. The type and location of your pain help pinpoint the underlying cause.
For example, if you feel pain inside your hip or groin, you may have a problem with the hip joint itself. Pain on the outside of your hip or buttocks may be signs of a problem with the muscles, ligaments, or tendons surrounding the hip.
Hip pain may develop from an acute injury, an underlying disease that involves the joint, or from a health condition that affects other parts of your body such as your back or knees.
Common causes of hip pain include:
You can also develop acute hip pain from an overzealous workout. Though the cause of hip pain varies, if you have ongoing hip pain that fails to improve after a few days of at-home care, the team at Alternative Physical Medicine of Colorado can help.
