SI Joint Open Hips

SI Joint Open Hips

When both hips are out of place, excess pressure may be placed on the sacroiliac joint, causing pain throughout the hips and legs.  This condition may occur as a result of degeneration of the joint or from pregnancy that causes the pelvis to expand and become misaligned. 

Treatment for pain caused by open hips focuses on relieving symptoms through rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medication and also on correcting the misalignment through chiropractic care or surgery. 

When both hips are slightly open, additional stress is placed on the sacroiliac joint. This additional stress causes joint irritation, inflammation and pain.
