— Conditions We Treat
—— UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITION
Hip pain can originate directly from the hip joint or be referred from the lumbar spine, SI joint, or surrounding musculature. Common causes include hip bursitis, hip flexor or IT band tightness, osteoarthritis, SI joint dysfunction, piriformis syndrome, labral tears, and lumbar nerve root irritation that refers pain into the hip and groin.
"Because the hip, pelvis, and lumbar spine are so closely linked, hip pain often involves contributions from more than one area — making accurate diagnosis critical for effective treatment."
D.N.F.T.® evaluates the hip, SI joint, and lumbar spine simultaneously — which is why it frequently identifies contributing factors that isolated hip treatment misses.

—— OUR APPROACH
Our approach evaluates and treats the hip as part of the whole lumbo-pelvic system:
01
The reactive leg check assesses the hip, SI joint, and lumbar spine simultaneously — identifying structural misalignments from any level contributing to hip pain, with gentle corrections targeting the actual source.
02
Reduces inflammation in the hip joint capsule, bursae, and surrounding soft tissue — effective for bursitis, arthritic hip pain, and post-surgical recovery.
03
Hip mobility, glute strengthening, and movement pattern correction to restore proper hip mechanics and reduce the load patterns causing pain.
—— SPECIFIC TYPES WE TREAT
Yes. Caribbean Chiropractor in Grapevine, TX treats hip pain using D.N.F.T.® chiropractic to address structural contributions from the hip, SI joint, and lumbar spine — combined with Phoenix Thera-Lase laser therapy to reduce joint inflammation and accelerate tissue healing.
One-sided hip pain is often caused by SI joint dysfunction, hip bursitis, piriformis syndrome, or lumbar nerve root irritation that refers pain to one side. The D.N.F.T.® reactive leg check is particularly effective at identifying the specific source of unilateral hip pain.
Frequently yes. The hip, pelvis, and lumbar spine are closely interconnected — low back dysfunction often contributes to hip pain and vice versa. D.N.F.T.® evaluates both regions simultaneously, ensuring the actual source of dysfunction is identified and treated at Caribbean Chiropractor in Grapevine, TX.
Phoenix Thera-Lase laser therapy penetrates deeply into the hip joint and surrounding tissue, reducing bursae inflammation, stimulating cellular repair in arthritic joint tissue, and relieving nerve irritation — providing effective pain relief while structural care addresses the root cause.
