There are only a couple of causes as to why your hips are out of alignment:
1. There is a physical difference in your leg lengths. Often, this biological difference has to do with the structure of your leg, such as the bone length.
2. A functional difference in your legs, such as your posture causing knots. Your legs are at different heights, but not because of the structure of your legs, but more the way you use your body.
3. Scoliosis, where even mild cases can cause your hips to become out of alignment.
Scoliosis is when your spine has a curvature to it.
Once the root cause of your hip misalignment has been determined, it’s time to look at the different treatments available to you. Your chiropractor can help you decide if your root cause can be adequately treated with chiropractic or other treatments. In addition, they can assist with determining how to move forward in helping your hips go back into alignment and alleviate any pain or issues you’ve been dealing with because of the misalignment. For instance, you may be dealing with both functional and structural reasons behind your hips being misaligned, so a treatment like a lift in one shoe and chiropractic treatment may be necessary.
