So two years after a running injury and subsequent visit to a condescending doctor, I'd pretty much resigned myself to having constant pain radiating from my hip joint. I was hesitant about seeing any other doctors, but finally a friend encouraged me to see a chiropractor. During the first appointment Dr. Bedichek took an X-ray and assessed the injury. The goal of my treatment was always to permanently fix the problem, so he mapped out a three month plan that moved from fixing the problem to focusing on the problem not coming back. Each session he's adjust my hip if it needed it then show me exercises to do to strengthen the associated muscles.I definitely was skeptical at times. My hip had been in that position so long that the muscles freaked out once we started the adjustments, so the first few weeks the pain was actually worse. After that subsided we came to the issue that my hip wouldn't stay in alignment after the adjustments. Dr. Bedichek listened to my issues and what helped with the pain and suggested changes to my muscle strengthening regime.By the end of the three months I was able to run again! My muscles continue to have some tightness, but based on Dr. Bedichek's suggestion, I've continued strengthening and stretching and it's steadily gotten better.
