Hip Pain Treatment in Naperville
Hip Pain Treatment in Naperville
Hip pain can show up in the front of the hip, outside of the hip, glute, groin, or upper thigh. It can affect running, lifting, stairs, squatting, sitting, and sports. At Elite Performance Institute, we evaluate the hip, low back, pelvis, strength, mobility, and movement demands to understand what may be driving symptoms.
Our goal is to help you understand what is contributing to your symptoms, address the areas that need attention, and give you a clear plan to return to the activities you care about.

How we evaluate hip pain
A good plan starts with understanding the problem. At Elite Performance Institute, the evaluation is based on your symptoms, your goals, and the activities you want to get back to.
History
We talk through what hurts, what makes it better or worse, what you have tried, and what activities matter most to you.
Movement
We assess how the involved area moves and how surrounding regions may be contributing.
Strength
We look at strength, control, capacity, and the movements your sport, training, work, or life requires.
Plan
You leave with a clear explanation and a plan that may include hands-on care, rehab, and activity modifications.
Evaluation may include
- Hip range of motion testing
- Glute and lower-body strength assessment
- Single-leg control and movement testing
- Low back and pelvis assessment
- Running or sport-specific review when relevant
Care may include
- Soft tissue treatment
- Chiropractic care when appropriate
- Hip mobility work
- Glute and lower-body strengthening
- Running or activity modification and progression
Care built for active people who want a plan
Many patients come to us after trying rest, stretching, massage, quick adjustments, YouTube exercises, or generic rehab that did not fully solve the problem. We help connect the dots between the painful area, the way you move, and the demands of your sport or daily life.
Visits are one-on-one and may include chiropractic care, soft tissue treatment, rehab exercises, movement assessment, and practical guidance for returning to training, sport, work, or daily activity.

Common questions about hip pain
Can hip pain come from the low back?
Yes. Hip-area symptoms can sometimes be influenced by the low back, pelvis, or nerve sensitivity, which is why the exam looks beyond only the painful spot.
Is stretching enough for hip pain?
Sometimes mobility work helps, but many hip problems also require strength, control, load management, and changes to the activity that is irritating symptoms.
Do you work with runners who have hip pain?
Yes. We commonly work with runners dealing with hip pain, glute discomfort, mobility limitations, and recurring training-related symptoms.
What does hip pain care include?
Care may include soft tissue treatment, chiropractic care, mobility drills, strengthening, and return-to-running or return-to-activity planning.
