Hip Pain in Ankeny, IA
Your Hip Shouldn’t Dictate How You Move.
Hip pain can make everyday movements feel different—getting out of a chair, walking, climbing stairs, exercising, or simply sleeping comfortably.
And when you’ve been dealing with it for a while, it’s easy to start changing how you move without even realizing it.
Whether your pain came from an injury, training, or gradually built up over time, the first step is understanding what your hip is actually responding to.
Hip Pain Isn’t Always Just a “Hip Problem.”
Movement Matters.
Your hip works together with your back, pelvis, and legs. How those areas move and handle load can influence how your hip feels.
We’ll look at the bigger picture, including:
- Hip mobility
- Strength and stability
- Movement patterns
- Single-leg control
- Your spine and pelvis
- Training and activity demands
- What aggravates or relieves your symptoms
From there, we can build a plan around what you actually need.
Get Back to Moving Without Constantly Thinking About Your Hip.
Treatment may focus on restoring movement, improving strength, gradually increasing your tolerance to activity, and addressing the factors contributing to your symptoms.
If you’re an active adult, the end goal isn’t simply being comfortable during a basic movement.
It’s being able to train, work, exercise, play, and live without your hip constantly being on your mind.

“Dr Stewart is amazing! I have experienced pain for over 5 years and have tried acupuncture, massages, other forms of physical therapy, several injections, needling, and have gone to countless specialists. Working with Dr Stewart has helped me gain mobility back and I finally have relief in dealing with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Josh is very personable, listens, and has been awesome to work with!”

“First, I would like to thank Dr. Stewart for helping me get back to full duty and have the ability to continue on in my career as a United States Marine. Most people may not have an idea of the physical demand and rigors that the Marine Corps puts on a person’s body but take it from me it is a lot. Especially when something in your body breaks that isn’t supposed to break and you have to figure out a way forward and how to continue to stay at the level required of a Marine. It gets very scary since Marines don’t know how to quit, it’s just not something we are taught. After a knee and shoulder surgery Dr. Stewart personally guided me on the road to recovery. He and his staff were extremely professional and knowledgeable in teaching me how to retrain my body to function properly and being patient with my results so that I did not push too hard too fast. I also have personally watched Dr. Stewart’s colleagues ask him for advice and thoughts on treatment for their patients, to which he gladly helped without hesitation many times over. If you have any questions on the technical expertise and professional treatment of his care, you can feel free to take my advice that you can’t pick or find a better therapist. Dr. Stewart thank you again for helping this Marine get to keep his career and still be able to play with his kids. Semper Fi Doc and until we meet again.”
