Hip pain usually needs hands on care and loading together, plus an honest view on when an opinion outside the clinic is warranted. The services below share the building, so a hip, a low back and a knee can be handled in one appointment.

Who We Are
Lake Wilcox, the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Drive South on Yonge
Lake Wilcox and the Oak Ridges Moraine trails sit about 30 minutes north of the clinic, reached by driving south on Yonge Street and then east.
Hip impingement is contact between the femur and the socket rim at end range, felt as a pinch at the front of the hip or in the groin. Squatting deep, cycling low and sitting for long stretches all reproduce it. Assessment records hip flexion and internal rotation on both sides, tests the controlling muscles, and checks the low back for referral. Treatment focuses on restoring what movement is available, quieting muscle spasm, and rebuilding control through the range you can use.
- Multidisciplinary Team
Chiropractors, physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists collaborating under one roof, so your care is coordinated, not fragmented.
- Movement Based Approach
We assess how your body actually moves, then build a treatment plan that restores function from the foundation up. Kinetic. Core. Foundation.
“A hip that pinches at depth is a movement problem worth measuring.”
Hip shape cannot be changed by treatment, and any clinic saying otherwise is overselling. What does change is how much of your available range you control, how much the surrounding muscles guard, and how you load the joint in the gym and on a trail. Most people get back to what they want on that route.
What We Offer
Chiropractic Treatments for Hip and Groin Complaints
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care mobilises the hip and low back, releases the protective muscles around a pinching joint, and addresses the pelvis that is compensating. Range is measured every visit.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy rebuilds the glute and deep hip control that keeps the joint centred through range, with advances tied to recorded strength rather than to time passed. Range guides the plan.
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy eases the adductor, hip flexor and gluteal tension that builds around a guarded hip. Deeper work is offered only where you find it comfortable. Appointments run half an hour.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can help ease ongoing groin and hip pain that has stalled, with points around the hip and along the leg. A short course is trialled and then reviewed. Fine gauge needles only.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy helps settle irritated tissue around the hip, particularly where tendon pain sits at the outside of the joint. Sessions are brief and require no rest. Nothing is applied hot.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics change how the leg loads from the ground up, which matters for hip pain that worsens on hills and long trail walks. Casting is done on site. Moulds are taken quickly.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Exercise rehabilitation builds squat and hinge patterns inside the range your hip tolerates, supervised by a Registered Kinesiologist and advanced as control develops. Ranges stay pain free.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy matters where groin pain has a pelvic floor component, which is more common than most patients expect and assessed privately with consent. Your privacy is respected.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic covers hip and groin discomfort in young athletes, where growth related conditions need ruling out first. A parent remains in the room throughout.
How It Works
Your Path from Pain to Lasting Movement
Every patient at KC Rehab follows the same proven four step process, designed to uncover the root cause of your pain or restriction and build a recovery plan that actually lasts.
Step 1
Consultation and Assessment
Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your history, lifestyle, and goals. We then perform a hands on movement assessment to identify the underlying mechanics behind your symptoms.
Step 2
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment findings, we build a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, goals, and timeline. This may combine chiropractic, physiotherapy, RMT, acupuncture, and exercise rehabilitation.
Step 3
Active Treatment & Therapy
Your plan comes to life through manual therapy, targeted exercise, and the modalities best suited to your condition. Every session is monitored and adjusted based on your progress.
Step 4
Ongoing Care & Prevention
Once you have recovered, we equip you with the exercises, ergonomic advice, and maintenance schedule you need to stay pain-free and continue moving well for years to come.
Why CHoose Us
Why Oak Ridges Patients Travel Here
Hip range is measured, treatment is honest about what it can change, and referral happens when warranted rather than after twenty visits. Chiropractors here are registered with the College of Chiropractors of Ontario, and chiropractic care is billed directly.
Hip range and load testing
Flexion, internal rotation and the impingement tests are measured on both sides, giving a number that shows whether treatment is changing anything.
Referral when it is warranted
Where symptoms persist or a labral or structural problem is suspected, imaging or an orthopaedic opinion is arranged instead of continuing indefinitely.
Trail and hiking specific advice
Load on the Oak Ridges Moraine trails is managed through distance, gradient and pole use, so walking continues at the level the hip currently tolerates.
One building, several professions
Hip work, low back care, orthotic casting and supervised loading all sit at 6605 Highway 7, which keeps a thirty minute drive to a single trip.
RESTORE. REBUILD. RECOVER.
Whether it has been a week or a decade, you do not have to keep adjusting your life around pain. Book your initial assessment at KC Rehab today and find out what real, movement based recovery actually feels like.
Our Customer Testimonials
Frequent Asked Questions
What does hip impingement feel like day to day?
Most people describe a pinch at the front of the hip or deep groin ache when squatting, cycling or sitting for long stretches. Getting out of a car is a common trigger. Pain often eases quickly once the position changes. Stiffness after sitting is usually worse than pain during walking.
Can chiropractic care help a pinching hip?
Treatment can improve available range, reduce muscle spasm and rebuild control, though it does not change the shape of the joint. Most patients regain the activities that matter to them. Progress is tracked by measured range. Adding physiotherapy builds the deep hip strength that holds the change.
Why does deep squatting aggravate groin pain?
Squatting below parallel brings the femur into contact with the socket rim, which reproduces the pinch directly. Stance width and foot position change how early that happens. Depth is limited rather than squats abandoned. KinetiCore Rehabilitation Centre coaches a squat pattern that fits your own hip anatomy.
Is imaging needed before treating hip pain?
Most hip pain is assessed and treated without imaging, since findings on a scan often do not match symptoms. Imaging is arranged where progress stalls or structural damage is suspected. A clinical examination guides the first six weeks. Patients from Jefferson are managed the same way.
Which hip movements are tested at assessment?
Flexion, internal rotation, abduction and the combined impingement tests are all measured and compared side to side. Muscle strength around the joint is graded on both sides as well. The low back is screened for referred pain too. To ask what the first visit involves, please contact us.
Can hiking on the Oak Ridges Moraine continue?
When does hip pain warrant a surgical opinion?
An orthopaedic opinion is warranted when pain persists past three months of proper care or function stays limited. Mechanical locking or a hip giving way brings that forward. Most patients never reach that point at all. Patients from Stouffville are referred on the same criteria.
Does hip stiffness contribute to low back pain?
Restricted hip rotation shifts movement demand into the lumbar spine, which commonly produces low back pain alongside a stiff hip. Treating only the back leaves the cause in place. Both regions are assessed together here. Improving hip range often settles back symptoms without direct spinal work.
