Glute Pain

Glute pain can be a frustrating and uncomfortable experience. Various physical problems, including muscle imbalances, injuries, and medical conditions, can cause it. At FreeForm Chiropractic, we understand the importance of finding the root cause of glute pain to provide effective treatment that addresses the underlying issue.

Common causes of glute pain

Muscle imbalances: Muscle imbalances are among the most common causes of glute pain. When certain muscles become weaker or tighter than others, it can lead to pain and discomfort. This is often seen in individuals who sit for prolonged periods or are sedentary.
Injuries: Injuries, such as strains or sprains, can also cause glute pain. These injuries can occur during physical activity or due to a traumatic event. Chiropractic care can help accelerate the healing process and reduce inflammation.
Medical conditions: Medical conditions like sciatica or herniated discs can also cause glute pain. These conditions require proper diagnosis and treatment from a healthcare professional.
Overuse: Overworking the glute muscles, such as through repetitive motions or prolonged standing or walking, can lead to pain and discomfort.
Bursitis: Bursitis occurs when the small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) in the hip joint become inflamed. This can be caused by overuse, injury, or underlying medical conditions such as arthritis.
Piriformis syndrome: Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle compresses the sciatic nerve, leading to pain and discomfort in the glutes and down the back of the leg.
Tightness or stiffness: Tightness or stiffness in the gluteal muscles can be caused by a variety of factors, including lack of stretching, poor posture, or muscle imbalances.

By identifying the cause of your glute pain, an effective treatment plan can be devised to reduce your discomfort.
