The Hidden Link Between Core Weakness and Hip Pain

If you’ve been dealing with ongoing hip pain, the problem may not be your hip at all. One of the most overlooked contributors to hip discomfort is core weakness—and strengthening it can play a major role in long-term relief and recovery.

What Is the “Core,” Really?

• Abdominals
• Lower back muscles
  
• Pelvic floor
  
• Gluteal muscles
  
• Deep stabilizers around the spine and pelvis
  Together, these muscles create a stable base for movement. Every step you take, every time you bend or twist, your core is working to support and protect your body.

How Core Weakness Leads to Hip Pain

You may have a weak or underactive core if you notice:

• Hip pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or standing
  
• Recurring tightness in the hips or lower back
  
• Poor balance or instability
  
• Pain that returns despite rest or stretching
  These are common patterns we see in patients who benefit from targeted rehabilitation rather than passive care alone.

Why Rehabilitation-Focused Chiropractic Care Matters
At our practice, we go beyond symptom relief. While chiropractic adjustments help restore joint motion and reduce pain, physical rehabilitation addresses the root cause by:

• Improving core strength and endurance
  
• Restoring proper movement patterns
  
• Enhancing hip and pelvic stability
  
• Reducing the risk of future injury
  This combined approach helps your body move the way it was designed to—efficiently and comfortably.
