Hip Pain & Alignment
Hip, groin, or outer-hip discomfort with walking or rest.
Understanding hip pain & alignment
Hip pain can come from the joint itself, surrounding muscles and tendons, or be referred from the lower back or pelvis. Where you feel pain does not always match where the problem is.
Symptoms you may notice
- Aching in the hip, groin, or buttock
- Pain with walking, stairs, or standing up
- Discomfort lying on one side
- Stiffness after sitting
Why an individual evaluation matters
Joint changes, tendon irritation, and back-related referral are common explanations. Limping, giving way, or pain after a fall deserves prompt assessment. Posture and spinal mechanics can influence how the hip is loaded.
Where One Life’s care may fit
Dr. Jon can evaluate spinal and pelvic mechanics and discuss whether One Life’s approach fits your findings. Hip joint problems may also need medical imaging or physical therapy, and he can recommend the right next step.

Seek urgent medical care for inability to bear weight after a fall, a visibly deformed hip, or hip pain with fever. Sudden severe pain in an older adult after a minor fall can indicate a fracture.
This is not a complete list of warning signs. If you think you may be experiencing an emergency, call 911 rather than wait for an office appointment.

Questions about hip pain & alignment
Is my hip pain actually from my back?
It can be. An examination of both the spine and hip helps identify the source.
Do I need an X-ray first?
Not always. Your clinician decides whether imaging is appropriate based on your history and examination.
