Hip & Pelvis Alignment in Coffs Harbour

Why Hip & Pelvis Alignment Matters

Your pelvis acts as the base for your spine and the anchor point for major muscles in the lower body.When the pelvis becomes misaligned or restricted, it can create:

• Lower back pain
• Hip pain or tightness
• Sciatica or nerve irritation
• Uneven leg length sensation
• Glute or hamstring tightness
• Difficulty walking or standing
• Postural imbalance
• Reduced mobility or flexibility

Pelvic imbalance can develop gradually or appear suddenly after an injury, awkward movement or prolonged sitting.

Common Causes of Hip & Pelvis Misalignment

People often experience hip or pelvic issues due to:

• Prolonged sitting or poor posture
• Muscle imbalance or weakness
• Pregnancy‑related changes
• Lifting or twisting injuries
• Repetitive strain from work or sport
• Previous injuries that never fully resolved
• Leg length discrepancies (structural or functional)
• Tight hip flexors or glute muscles

Your chiropractor will assess your spine, pelvis, hips and movement patterns to identify what’s contributing to your symptoms.
