Hips and Lower Back

They represent the basis of support of the body and are closely linked to posture and locomotion. By absorbing most of the body weight, injuries in these regions cause severe and disabling conditions.

The lumbar and hip region is responsible for the structural support of most of our body weight. Once weakened, overloads in this region can lead to severe disabling pain, as well as a probable postural alteration and locomotion. For this reason, low back pain is one of the main causes of absenteeism in the world today.

The alignment of this region provides excellent results for the body to perform its functions with a good basis of support. Thus, many of the hip and lumbar spine injuries, which cause discomfort and limitations, can quickly show significant improvements through chiropractic techniques.

Here are some of the conditions where Chiropractic care can help:
