Absolutely!
To loosen hips or increase flexibility is something you can do on your own. You need to stretch your leg muscles & lower back. You can find examples on YouTube. And yes, chiropractic or physical therapists can assist you to ensure it is done properly.
Yes Chiropractors use adjustments, soft tissue release, and other modalities to treat hip tightness and hip dysfunction.
By applying the same concepts to the hip as we do to the joints of the spine, chiropractors can help ease some of the pain and dysfunction seen at this joint. Additionally, active stretching methods such as Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR) can help stretch any tight muscles in the surrounding areas.
Yes, by finding the contributing causes like misalignment of the lumbar spine, pelvis, hips, or knees, or dehydration or mineral deficiencies.
