Hip Pain

The hips are one of the most important joints on the human body that allow you to walk, run, jump and, much like the extremely flexible shoulder joint, your hips provide your body with its greatest range of motion. For this reason untreated hip and leg pain create hip problems that have serious consequences on your overall health and quality of life. Before resorting to surgery or relying on pain medication, determine the precise source of hip pain with the help of a licensed Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractor. Whether your hip problem is due to illness or injury, tailored chiropractic care will alleviate pain in addition to providing you with long-lasting health benefits.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Specialized chiropractic care can be tailored to treat hip pain associated with a range of conditions. Common causes for hip pain can include

Osteoarthritis & Inflammatory Diseases

When a degenerative condition is the cause of hip pain, joints become inflamed, stiff and painful as a result of continued strain on the hip area over time. Hip problems can also be associated with various inflammatory diseases that include rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or inflammation of the spine. Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center provides effective chiropractic adjustments that realign vertebrae to relieve hip pain that also facilitate long-term healing. Studies reveal that more than 80% of patients with hip problems significantly improve after only a few visits with a licensed chiropractor.

Overuse Injury

Constant wear and tear or a specific injury can cause inflammation over time within the hip joint. When affected, the soft tissue of surrounding ligaments creates conditions such as hip bursitis causing the cushions between tendons and muscles to become painful and swollen. Tendinitis, another common condition associated with hip pain occurs when tendons become stressed due to consistent and repetitive movement. A Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractor provides manual adjustments to realign affected hip areas and allow for natural healing.

Hip Trauma

More serious than hip pain caused by overuse, hip trauma includes fractures and dislocations of the hip or pelvis that cause a severe strain on surrounding ligaments and muscles. Tailored rehabilitative treatment from a certified Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractor in conjunction with your primary health care provider can provide significant relief and help to restore mobility.

A licensed Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractor is available to evaluate your personal medical history, conduct a thorough physical examination and design an effective treatment plan to relieve muscle spasms, inflammation and other conditions associated with hip pain. In addition to professional chiropractic adjustments, your tailored treatment plan is developed in conjunction with any other health practitioners to include exercise therapy, information on proper posture and stretching exercise that strengthen weakened muscles and address your specific condition.

Dr. Norgaard’s first exposure to chiropractic was when he was a high school football player at Neuqua Valley in Naperville, Illinois. Nagging injuries led him to Action Chiropractic and Dr. Durnas. He was amazed with the results he got and knew that the treatments provided at Action Chiropractic were the best way to address his ailments.
After high school, Dr. Norgaard left Naperville and attended Central College in Pella, Iowa. While at Central, he majored in biology and played football, further piquing his interest in sports injuries and how to treat them. When he wasn’t in the classroom or on the football field, Dr. Norgaard spent his time volunteering at hospitals, and at various clinics. This is when he really developed a passion for helping people get better.
His experiences as an athlete, chiropractic patient, and volunteer shaped his decision to become a chiropractor.
After graduating from Central, Dr. Norgaard continued his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic.
While at Palmer, Dr. Norgaard took several extracurricular courses focusing on spinal diagnosis and therapy, soft tissue care, and diagnosis and treatment of the extremities. He completed a 4-month internship with Dr. Durnas at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center and further developed his skills as a physician.
He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer in October of 2021 and received the Academic Excellence Award.
After graduation, Dr. Norgaard joined the team at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center. He currently resides in the Naperville area with his wife, Shannon, son, Parker, and dog, Alby.
“I chose to become a chiropractor because I was helped by chiropractic. I was in such discomfort it took me over 3 minutes to put on my socks. After seeing a chiropractor, and regaining the ability to tie my shoes, I realized that taking loads of NSAIDs did not address the fact that there was something causing the pain. The more I learned about it, I found that Chiropractic doesn’t just hide symptoms, like I was trying to do with pills, it fixes the origin of the problem.”
Dr. Durnas graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology and Bachelors of Arts degree in Chemistry. After graduation he worked in research and development for 3 years and dabbled in powerlifting and professional wrestling. That’s what lead him to chiropractic school. While at Palmer College of Chiropractic, he focused on learning how to best help the athlete. He took several extracurricular courses on how to address soft tissue injuries, how to adjust extremities, and how to better manage sports injuries. He graduated in June of 2012, where we were the Palmer Clinical Excellence Award winner and a keynote speaker at commencement.
In 2019, Dr. Durnas earned his Diplomate from the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP)®. He is only the 427th chiropractor in history to earn this designation, and only the 6th recipient in the history of Illinois. He completed over 300 hours of classroom and online courses focusing on in depth on the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, concussions, and emergency procedures, and had over 100 on the field hours with athletes that ranged from cross fitters, professional and high school football players, professional BMX and Motocross riders, triathletes, and runners. Dr. Durnas passed a 6-part practical exam and a 250 question Board exam and contributed a case study involving nerve damage in a professional athlete following a hit to the shoulder.
