Pain may affect just one or both of the individual's hips. It may be more severe when one crosses his legs or twists his body. Sometimes, it is so severe it wakes the individual up at night. It might affect one's ability to get out of bed. At times, it becomes so severe that just moving one's leg is difficult.
One of the most common causes of problems with a person's hips is not in the joint itself. Spinal alignment trouble can affect the lower extremities, causing pain. Without proper care the pain often grows worse. These conditions can mimic age related diseases such as osteoarthritis.
Individuals who suffer changes in gait may also experience hip problems. The changes may be caused by a strained knee or a sprained ankle. The alterations in posture and walking may lead to undue pressure on the joint and pain.
Other imbalances in the gait can be due to carrying a small child or baby on the hip. Starting a new job that involves moving a load on a regular basis can cause changes. In fact, anything that causes imbalances when the body is in motion may result in painful problems with one's hips.
Chiropractic helps balance to be restored by using chiropractic adjustments. The gentle procedure relieves pressure from the nerve. As nerves heal, the pain subsides.
