Expert Hip Pain Chiropractic & Manual Therapy in Centennial, CO
Hip pain is holding you back from the sport, the workout, or the life you love. At Kinetic Sports Medicine & Rehab, we go beyond temporary relief — using evidence-based chiropractic care and manual therapy to find and fix the root cause of your hip pain so you can move freely again.
Hip Pain That Won't Go Away Is Costing You
Too many active people in Centennial are told to rest, take medication, or worse — accept surgery as their only option. Without the right care, hip pain doesn’t just linger. It spreads, compounds, and sidelines you for good.
Wasted Time
You’ve tried rest, ice, and generic stretches. Weeks pass. The pain returns the moment you push yourself. Without a root-cause diagnosis, you’re managing symptoms — not solving the problem.
Missed Performance
Hip impingement, labral irritation, and groin dysfunction don’t just hurt — they steal your stride, your squat, and your competitive edge. Every workout you modify is a step backward.
Unnecessary Risk
Untreated hip dysfunction changes how you move — overloading your knees, lower back, and SI joint. What starts as hip pain near your favorite trail or gym can quietly become a full-body problem.
Why Centennial Chooses Kinetic for Hip Pain Care
Kinetic Sports Medicine & Rehab was built for active individuals who refuse to settle for surface-level care. Our chiropractors and manual therapy specialists deliver longer, never-rushed sessions — combining dry needling, joint manipulation, soft tissue work, and sport-specific rehab to address what’s actually driving your hip pain.
- Root-cause diagnosis — we identify the movement patterns and structural dysfunctions behind your hip pain, not just where it hurts
- Sport-informed treatment — our doctors understand your activity, whether you’re a runner, weightlifter, or weekend warrior near Centennial
- Integrated manual therapy — combining IASTM, myofascial release, dry needling, and targeted rehab exercises in every session
Your Path Back to Pain-Free Movement Starts Here
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment
Your recovery starts with understanding your body. We conduct a thorough functional movement assessment and physical evaluation to identify the root cause of your shoulder pain — including joint mechanics, soft tissue quality, and movement patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Step 2: Your Personalized Treatment Plan
No two shoulders are the same. Based on your assessment findings, we design a customized care plan that may include manual therapy, joint mobilization, dry needling, myofascial release, IASTM, and targeted therapeutic exercise — matched to your condition, your goals, and your timeline.
Step 3: Recover, Strengthen, and Perform
We guide you through each phase of recovery — from pain reduction to strength rebuilding to full return to sport or activity. Our goal isn’t just to get you out of pain; it’s to make you more resilient so you stay that way long after you leave our Centennial clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit to our Centennial clinic.
Your first visit starts with a thorough movement screen and functional assessment. Dr. Ptacek or Dr. LeClair-Dennis will evaluate how you move, identify the root cause of your hip pain or injury, and work with you to build a personalized treatment plan. Most patients begin hands-on treatment in their very first session.
At Kinetic, the lines between chiropractic and physical therapy are intentionally blurred — in the best way. Our sports chiropractors use hands-on manual therapy, joint manipulation, dry needling, and soft tissue techniques alongside corrective exercise and rehab programming. The goal is always the same: restore function and get you back to doing what you love.
