Do chiropractors work on hips?

While it is common to turn to chiropractic care when feeling back and neck pain, chiropractors work on hips too. A chiropractor will define if the hip joint or other joints are out of alignment. After that, a doctor will determine the type of misalignment and come up with the optimal treatment plan. Correcting the misalignments through chiropractic adjustments will improve your movement and function. 

Fixing these misalignments is extremely important. Otherwise, the issues will keep on accumulating, with you feeling worse and causing your problem to take longer to correct.

How does a chiropractor adjust your hip?

There are many techniques that our chiropractors use to help our Austin patients. A chiropractic adjustment always starts with a thorough evaluation to understand:
  • The exact nature of hip misalignment;
  • Why the hip is not moving correctly.
Such an evaluation makes it much easier to perform the proper adjustment to ensure that the hip begins to function properly again. We perform gentle adjustments using either our hands or different tools available in the office.

Once the hip is back into proper alignment, we always double-check to make sure that the hip stays in proper alignment. Plus, we teach our patients different movements and strategies to ensure that the hip remains in proper alignment. Following these strategies will prevent you from further injuries in the future.

Misaligned Hips

Chiropractors can correct any misaligned joints in the body, and the hips are no exception. When your hips are out of alignment, it causes other areas in your body to start compensating (or fall out of alignment). These compensations lead to further pain and discomfort. This is why it is so important to get your hips checked regularly. With such a check-up, you will ensure that the rest of the body does not start to compensate for your misaligned hips.

How do you know if your hips are out of alignment? Here are the common symptoms to watch out for:

  • You feel that one hip is higher than the other
  • You’ve been experiencing pain in your hips
  • You feel like you lean your body more to one side than the other

If you’re experiencing any of these signs, you should visit a chiropractor in Austin, TX. Schedule your first appointment with one of our doctors today!
