Merely focusing our movement patterns on flexion and extension based habits like walking and sitting to standing may lead to completely ignoring the internal and external rotators of the hip as well as the Ab/Adductors. Furthermore, with our more sedentary lifestyle in general, the patterns we utilize to access our flexion and extension can lead to inhibited Gluteal Muscles and over-dominant or ‘taught’ feeling Quadriceps Muscles. These imbalances are what we attribute as a cause to a lot of chronic Hip Pains we see clinically.

First of all, Chiropractic isn’t a religion or a faith - it’s not based off of a ‘belief’ system. Rather, the profession is described as a ‘science and an art.’ A form of medicine that is drug free and non-invasive for common musculoskeletal issues like joint pain, headaches, and overall discomfort that everyone experiences at some point in their life.
With that being said I’d rather have you understand Chiropractic compared to "‘believe in it.’

I’d rather see you for a longer duration of time once a week or once every couple weeks compared to 5 minute visits three times per week.End result? You get better. Fast.

Our goal is (and always will be) serving you guys, our patients, and empowering you to move better, faster, stronger, longer.

If you’re an existing patient of ours, you know already that we focus heavily on giving you the tools and movement home work to stay OUT of our office instead of IN it. Isn’t that the point of health care anyways?
The knee has one primary job - flex and extend. If it is forced to excessively rotate or laterally bend because of hip or foot dysfunction, that is when we see knee pain.
Read MoreWalking should be one of the easiest things we do.
If we expand that to looking at a running gait - not much should change.
What I mean is that running is literally straight forward. We shouldn’t see your foot, knee, hip, or body sway much left or right. Figuring out why you might sway or compensate is exactly why we do gait assessments! It’s easy to sit there and say “your left foot overpronates in your stance phase” - but why? Why does it do that? Is it the foot’s fault or the hips?
