HIP, SACROILIAC LEG PROBLEMS

Conditions We Treat- Trigger Points and Muscle Spasms

A Masterpiece of Engineering

The hips and legs support the body and move our weight from place to place. The hips and legs are called on to hold us upright for many hours at a time, to walk or run, bend and stoop, and stretch into countless unusual positions.

Heavy lifting must be done primarily with the legs to avoid lower back strain. Is it any wonder, when we realize the job they perform, that the hips and legs become victims to many problems, including discomfort and often severe pain.

Causes

  • Arthritis
  • Pregnancy
  • Problems with the Sacroiliac Joints
  • Herniated disks in the low back
  • Mechanical disorders caused by falls and accidents
  • Trauma, injury, surgery, poor posture
  • Disease or inappropriate function of the pelvic organs may refer pain to the hip and legs

Symptoms

  • Back or leg pain when standing, walking or sitting
  • Prolonged morning stiffness
  • Concurrent back or tailbone pain.

Treatment

When spinal vertebrae or other joints of the body misalign, even slightly, or their normal mobility is altered, sensory and motor nerves can be irritated or damaged. This is known as a subluxation.

Chiropractors have found subluxations to be one of the most common causes of nerve irritation, thus one of the most common contributing factors in hip and leg pain. A spinal checkup should be done periodically even if you feel fine because spinal subluxations may be causing serious harm to your body-sometimes for years-without your knowledge.

Low Force adjustments and manipulations techniques are used to correct the subluxation and relieve the nerve irritation. This allows the body to restore itself to a greater level of health and in the process relieves pain.
