Hip, Sacroiliac and Leg Problems
Do your joints "click"? Is one leg shorter than the other? Do your feet flare out or in when you walk? Do you have leg, knee, buttock, hip or low back weakness or pain? Many people suffering in the same way have taken a different approach to healthcare - Chiropractic!
Lower Back, Buttock & Thigh Pain
Studies have implicated that an unbalanced hip may also be a problem for most adults with lower back pain. The nerves from the spinal column in the lower back and hips travel to the bladder, kidneys, prostate, vagina and other pelvic organs, such as the uterus and lower intestines - it is therefore important to ensure that the nerves to these organs are free of irritation, compression or stress.
Leg Length Inequality
When your hips are uneven, your legs become unbalanced - with one appearing longer than the other. More pressure is put upon the longer leg when you walk, resulting in pain and pressure on that side of the body.
Children
Seeing as childhood is a very physical time or falls, accidents, cuts, scrapes and more, children should have their spines checked, including their hips, legs and sacroiliac (lower back and pelvic) joints. Chiropractors have often observed that a stressful birth can damage a child's spine, causing problems in later life if not corrected.
