Do you experience discomfort when walking, sitting, or sleeping on your side? You might be dealing with hip misalignment, a common issue that can cause everything from mild stiffness to sharp hip pain. The good news is, a gentle and targeted hip adjustment from a chiropractor can help restore alignment, ease pain, and improve your mobility—naturally and effectively.

What Is a Hip Adjustment?

A hip adjustment is a manual chiropractic technique designed to realign the hip joints and pelvis. Over time, everyday habits like crossing your legs, uneven weight-bearing, poor posture, or even an old injury can lead to hip misalignment. When this happens, the joint doesn’t move as it should, causing strain on the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and nerves.

This misalignment can result in a number of symptoms, including:

• Localised or radiating hip pain

• Lower back discomfort

• Stiffness or a feeling of “catching” in the hip

• Uneven leg length or posture imbalances

Left untreated, these issues can start to affect how your entire body moves—especially your knees and lower back.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring balance to the body through precise joint adjustments. A hip adjustment helps bring the pelvis and hip joint back into proper alignment. This relieves pressure, improves joint mobility, and supports your body’s natural healing processes.

At Glow Health in Mayfair, we specialise in personalised hip misalignment treatment. Your first visit includes a full assessment of your posture, gait, and spine to identify the root cause of your symptoms. This helps us tailor your treatment for long-term relief, not just short-term fixes.

Depending on your condition, we may combine your hip adjustment with other techniques such as:

• Soft tissue therapy to reduce muscle tension

• Targeted exercises to stabilise the hip

• Advice on sitting, standing, and movement habits to prevent recurrence

Signs You May Need a Hip Adjustment

Many people with hip misalignment don’t realise it until they start experiencing regular pain or restriction in movement. Here are a few signs to watch for:

• One hip feels higher than the other when you stand or lie down

• You hear clicking or popping during hip movements

• Your lower back or knees are starting to ache without a clear reason

• You favour one leg or foot when walking or standing

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to consider a professional hip misalignment treatment.
