28 Apr Are you experiencing constant low back pain 😳 Have you had treatment for your lower back but you’ve you found little improvement 😰 Or perhaps you are still experiencing a constant recurrence of low back pain after treatment😖

If you’ve answered yes to the above statements, then the next question you need to answer is “Has your Hips been checked during your Low Back Pain Assessment?”🤔

Did you know that with low back pain that it is crucial that someone looks into your hips! 😮 Whether it be standing, walking 🚶‍♀️ , running 🏃🏼‍♀️or sitting it is important to determine the relationship between the spine of the lower back and hips to identify the actual cause of your low back pain!

Here are 3 reasons why your hips should be assessed :
1. If the hips move poorly in relation to the spine of the lower back this can lead to lower back pain 😱
2. If the spine of the lower back moves more than the hip then this can also lead to lower back pain😮
3. When there is poor coordination between the hip and spine of the lower back this leads to low back pain 😖

That’s why it is important to assess both your hips joints 🦵and your lower back spine together when trying to determine the cause of your low back pain!🧐 Without a correct diagnosis, treatment of your low back pain may lead to suboptimal outcomes. This may be why you are not getting long term relief of your low back pain despite having treatment!
