Hip pain is one of the conditions Dr. Jason R. Brown, D.C. lists as seeing great results with at Reston Healing Center. Pain shows up in one place, but the cause is often somewhere else, so he looks at the whole picture, not just the sore spot.

What causes hip pain

Pain you feel in the hip may come from a problem in your back rather than the hip itself. Pain from the hip joint itself is often felt most in the groin. Around the hip, common causes include bursitis, a strained hip flexor or hamstring, and iliotibial (IT) band syndrome. Inside the joint, it can be a labral tear or femoral acetabular impingement, and in older adults, a fall can mean a hip fracture.

In Reston, hip pain often comes from both ends of the day: hours sitting at a desk and in the car, then miles on the footpaths and the W&OD Trail.

When it’s time to get your hip checked

Your hip aches after sitting, then hurts when you stand up
Pain on the outside of your hip when you lie on that side
Hip pain that comes with low back pain
Pain that shoots into your hip or down a leg
Your hip hurts more after running, hiking or stairs

If you’ve had a fall and can’t put weight on your leg, get to urgent care or the ER first. Once you’re released, come see us.

Your first visit

It starts with a free 10–15 minute consult with Dr. Jason. Tell him what’s going on and ask anything. If you want to go ahead, you know the price before anything happens: $169 cash for your exam, digital X-rays and adjustment, or your price if we work with your insurance.

For every issue, hip pain included, we do a consultation and a thorough exam: ranges of motion, muscle testing, posture checks and digital X-rays. That gives each patient an individualized treatment plan to get them on the road back to what they love doing.

How we treat hip pain

Dr. Jason focuses on restoring proper alignment and movement in the spine. Each visit is about an hour of hands-on work: spinal work with Dr. Jason, then muscle work, stretching and exercises with Dr. Jason or one of our therapists.

When your feet play a part in your hip pain, custom orthotics may be part of the plan. You also leave with exercises to do at home and advice on how you sit and set up your desk.
