Hip, Sacroiliac & leg Problems

Lower Back, Buttock & Thigh Pain

Studies have implicated an unbalanced hip in most adults with low back pain. “Dysfunction in the hip joint may be a primary factor in the development of mechanical lower back pain” says one report. Another states: “on confronting a patient in severe pain of sciatic distribution the first thought should be sacroiliac".

Pelvic Organs & Your Hips 

The nerves originating from the spinal column in the lower back and hips travel to the bladder, kidneys, prostate, vagina, and pelvic organs, uterus and lower intestines. It is very important to ensure that the nerves to these organs are free of any irritation, compression or stress. In fact, for over a century chiropractors have noticed the intimate relationship between spinal health and hip, sacroiliac and leg problems. When your hips are uneven, your legs become uneven; one appears longer than the other. More pressure is placed on the long leg when you walk: the knees, hips, ankle and feet on that side of your body may show pain and pressure. This is most noticeable when you lie down and is often used as a chiropractic test.
