  • Is a massage or chiropractor better for hip pain?

    Is the pain true hip pain or is it sacroiliac pain? The hip joint is where the leg attaches to the pelvis and is on the side of the pelvis. The sacroiliac joint is near the center of the back and is between the pelvis and the sacrum. Hip pain can be caused by degeneration of the joint capsule and arthritis. Sometimes a chiropractic spinal manipulation of the sacrum and/or pelvis can relieve hip pain, but an examination by a qualified and licensed chiropractor is needed for a proper evaluation for treatment.
