Hip Pain Treatment in Closter, Montvale & Park Ridge, NJ
Understanding Hip Pain
Hip pain can make daily movement—like standing, walking, or climbing stairs—feel difficult and uncomfortable. It’s one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, and it can stem from the hip joint itself or nearby structures like the lower back, pelvis, or muscles that stabilize the hip.
At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, we take a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating hip pain. Our team includes chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and rehabilitation specialists who work together to identify the root cause of your discomfort—not just manage the symptoms.
We serve patients across Bergen County, with convenient locations in Closter, Montvale, and Park Ridge, NJ.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Hip pain can result from injury, inflammation, muscle strain, or joint degeneration. Common causes include:
- Arthritis or Osteoarthritis – joint wear and tear causing stiffness and pain
- Bursitis – inflammation of fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint
- Tendonitis or Muscle Strain – from overuse, imbalance, or poor posture
- Labral Tears or Cartilage Damage – common in athletes or repetitive motion injuries
- Hip Impingement (FAI) – bone irregularities restricting joint movement
- Referred Pain from the Spine or SI Joint – where hip discomfort originates from lower back dysfunction
Each patient’s hip pain has a unique cause, which is why personalized diagnosis and care are key.
Symptoms of Hip Pain
You may benefit from professional evaluation if you experience:
- Pain that worsens when walking, sitting, or climbing stairs
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the hip or groin
- Clicking, catching, or grinding sensations
- Radiating discomfort into the thigh, glutes, or lower back
- Weakness or instability when standing or changing position
How We Diagnose & Treat Hip Pain
Our team uses evidence-based assessment tools to pinpoint the source of your pain. This includes orthopedic testing, movement analysis, posture evaluation, and advanced imaging when needed.
Once we identify the underlying issue, your treatment plan may include one or more of the following therapies:
1. Chiropractic Care
Realigns the spine and pelvis to improve joint motion, relieve nerve compression, and reduce inflammation around the hip.
2. Physical Therapy
Targets muscle weakness and imbalance through customized exercise programs and manual therapy techniques to restore stability and strength.
3. FAKTR & Graston Technique
Utilize specialized tools to break up scar tissue, improve circulation, and relieve soft tissue restrictions.
4. Class IV Laser Therapy

6. Trigenics Therapy

Expert Tips for Managing Hip Pain at Home
While professional care is essential for long-term relief, you can support your recovery with:
- Gentle stretching – try hip flexor and glute stretches daily
- Low-impact exercise – swimming or cycling helps maintain mobility
- Heat or cold therapy – reduce inflammation and stiffness
- Proper posture – maintain neutral spine alignment when sitting or lifting
- Gradual strengthening – focus on core and hip stabilizers
If your pain persists or worsens, it’s important to schedule an evaluation to prevent further joint degeneration or compensation injuries.
