HIP & PELVIC PAIN RELIEF IN ALBURY

At House of Chiropractic in Albury, we regularly see people with hip pain that’s affecting their movement, posture, and daily comfort.

The hip is a complex joint — when it’s not functioning properly, the pain can be caused by several factors, from trauma to misalignment. Our goal is to find and correct the root cause, not just mask the symptoms.

The most obvious way any joint, especially the hip, can become injured is due to trauma. It can be direct blunt trauma like a tackle in Rugby or Aussie Rules, or less obvious is indirect or cumulative trauma, like jumping off a high tractor multiple times a month.

Have a think about what you have done or do regularly that may have impacted your hip. I think you may be surprised how much cumulative stress you have put your hips under.

HIP AND PELVIC INJURY

The hip can be injured through direct trauma, indirect strain, or accumulative stress over time.

Direct trauma: tackles, falls, or sports collisions.
Indirect or cumulative trauma: repetitive strain from activities like jumping off machinery, long-distance cycling, or years of repetitive training.

Even everyday habits can add up — so think about the small, repeated stresses your hips may have experienced over time.

Structural or Functional Short Leg

Yes — a short leg, whether structural or functional, can alter your gait and cause hip dysfunction.

Structural short leg: may result from fractures, surgery, or growth differences, leaving one leg physically shorter.

Functional short leg: occurs when pelvic rotation or muscle imbalance creates an apparent difference in leg length.

Both can change the way the hip joint functions, leading to pain and uneven wear over time.

If you have broken your thigh, leg, ankle or foot bones, often they will re-set so that the leg is shorter on that side.

If you have had surgery to assist with any fractures then sometimes on the surgery side that leg can be longer due to any hardware, such as screws or plates, used in the surgery.

This asymmetry will contribute to a dysfunctional gait (walking stride) and can accelerate or even cause hip problems. This is called a structural short leg.

If you have a pelvic rotation or asymmetrical pull of tissues around the pelvis, this can contribute to a functional short leg which will also affect the ball within the socket.

The hip joint is a ball-and-socket structure where the femoral head (the “ball”) fits into the pelvis (the “socket”). When the pelvis is out of alignment, it directly affects how the hip moves and functions.

At House of Chiropractic, we assess your pelvic alignment and spine as part of every hip evaluation. Often, restoring proper pelvic alignment leads to noticeable improvements in hip mobility and pain.
