About Dr Marsh
The hip is one of the body’s most powerful and hardworking joints. It carries your full bodyweight with every step, connects your spine to your legs, and plays a central role in almost every movement you make. When something goes wrong with the hip — whether through injury, wear and tear, or a problem elsewhere in the body — the effects are rarely limited to the hip itself. Pain can radiate into the groin, the buttock, the lower back and even down into the knee. Dr Michelle Marsh at Back-On-Balance Chiropractic Clinic has over 20 years of experience assessing and treating hip problems. Her approach looks at the whole biomechanical picture — not just the hip joint in isolation — to find the true source of your pain and give you the best chance of a lasting recovery.
Hip Pain in the Peak District
Hip pain is rarely straightforward. The hip sits at the junction of the spine, pelvis and leg, meaning dysfunction anywhere in that chain can generate or aggravate hip symptoms. Dr Marsh begins every new patient consultation with a thorough assessment — covering your full medical history, your daily activities and a hands-on physical examination — to reach an accurate diagnosis before any treatment begins. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment at Back-On-Balance may include: Joint mobilisation and manipulation of the hip, pelvis and lower back to restore normal movement Soft tissue therapy to release tight muscles and fascia around the hip and gluteal region MSL Laser Therapy to reduce inflammation and ease pain in the surrounding tissues A tailored rehabilitation exercise programme to strengthen the hip stabilisers and improve overall balance and posture Postural and lifestyle advice to address the habits and movement patterns that may be contributing to your problem The majority of new patients at Back-On-Balance are referrals from existing patients. Dr Marsh’s approach is thorough, unhurried and honest — if chiropractic care is not the right route for your hip condition, she will tell you so and point you in the right direction.
