Hip Pain Treatment at Back in Action in Toronto (North York)
Physiotherapy • Chiropractic • Massage Therapy • Stretch Therapy
Hip pain is a common, often debilitating complaint affecting people of all ages. From athletes with sports-related impingement to older adults with osteoarthritis. Because the hip is a deep, load-bearing joint surrounded by many muscles, tendons and soft tissues, pain can come from the joint itself or from nearby structures. Effective care begins with an accurate diagnosis and a tailored non-surgical treatment plan that addresses the mechanical, muscular, and lifestyle contributors to pain.
At Back in Action in Toronto (North York), our physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and stretch therapists provide evidence-based hip pain treatment designed to reduce pain, restore mobility, and help you move with confidence.
If you’re experiencing hip stiffness, groin pain, outer hip pain, or discomfort during movement, you’re in the right place.
Understanding Hip Pain:
Why it Happens and Why it keeps Coming Back
Hip pain refers to discomfort around the hip joint, groin, buttocks, pelvis, or surrounding muscles. Because the hip is a major weight-bearing joint, hip pain can also affect the lower back, thigh, knee, and gait.
If you have any of the following symptoms, our Toronto (North York) physiotherapy and chiropractic team can help:
-
Sharp or dull hip joint pain
-
Groin pain when lifting your leg
-
Outer hip pain at night or when lying on your side
-
Clicking, popping, or locking sensations
-
Hip stiffness after sitting
-
Pain walking, running, or climbing stairs

Reduced hip mobility or rotation
Even when the cause seems minor, untreated hip pain can worsen over time or become chronic. Early assessment and evidence-based treatment significantly improve outcomes.

-
Muscle strains and ligament sprains

Poor posture or prolonged sitting
-
Arthritis and degeneration
-
Labral tears
