But surgery is invasive, expensive, and difficult to recover from. Persistent hip pain is often met with the recommendation for hip surgery by doctors. The hip joints, pelvic bones, muscles, and ligaments may all contribute to hip shifting and pain. Hip problems may also cause symptoms of sciatica. Shifted hips often cause pain in the lower back, hips, and legs by altering the gait and range of motion of these areas. Because they support much of the body’s weight and facilitate extensive movement, the hips must be balanced to allow for proper mobility without compensation from other body parts, including the lower back and legs. When hips fall out of alignment, they have the potential to cause widespread problems in the body. When done properly, these techniques may alleviate the patient’s symptoms without the need for pain medications or surgery.
