Frequently patients visit our office with low back pain when in fact the issue originates from the hip. The hips consist of the two Pelvic bones and the Sacrum in between.  This is the foundation of the entire spine. 

 

Injuries associated with this area include Piriformis Syndrome, IT band Syndrome, Sprain/ Strain, Osteoarthritis, and Bursitis.  Even if a patient has had a hip replacement, gentle treatment can still be quite effective in improving function and decreasing pain levels.
