The Effects Of A Hip Misalignment

Your pelvis is the foundation of your spine that helps to stabilize your back and surrounding structures. If your pelvis is out of alignment, or if you have bad posture, this could cause many issues for the spine’s alignment and long-term health. Many times, patients that see a chiropractor here at WYLD for lower back pain are usually experiencing symptoms of a pelvic tilt or misalignment of the pelvis. Once the “foundation” is tilted or rotated, it will cause an unstable balance in the spine, causing discs to shift and compress usually causing back pain. 

What causes a balanced hip?

• Better habits

• Chiropractic care

• Muscle training

• Good sleeping positions

• Orthotic support

• Proper ergonomics

What causes an imbalanced hip?

In biomechanical terms, when your hips are in alignment, they are not rotated forward or back or favouring one side. When your hips fall out of alignment, they move out of a centred position, and force the spine and lower limb to compensate.

• Sleeping habits

• Daily habits

• Posutural stress

• Chemical stress

• Emotional stress

• Physical stress

What are the possible effects of an imbalanced hip?

Not treating these issues can lead to overuse and injury, disc, facet and joint complications. They can also lead to serious long term which may impact your quality of life. These may include:

• Hip Replacement

• Disc injuries

• Surgery

• Osteoarthritis

Due to stress being placed within your body this can contribute to possible pressure on your nerves which may cause the following dysfunctions:

• Diarrhea

• Asthma

• Knee pains

• Impotency pains

• Gas pains

• Leg pains

• Sciatica

• Hip pains
