ARE YOUR HIPS CAUSING YOUR BACK PAIN?

Do you notice your back pain seems to get worse the longer you sit? Do you sometimes feel your back pain in the front or deep in the pelvis? You may be experiencing back pain that is connected to your hips. At Restore Physical Therapy, we are skilled at figuring out where your pain stems from to ensure you find relief no matter what!

Over 80% of the population will experience back pain at some point in their life. Unfortunately, most back pain cases are non-specific, meaning that there is no primary cause for your pain. Often back pain is the combination of several factors affecting one another. With non-specific back pain, there are interconnected factors that

contribute to your pain, such as: • Prolonged sitting postures • Weak core (i.e., abdominal, spinal, and gluteus muscles) • Poor mobility of hip, pelvis, and spine

Your hips have a large range of motion that works together with the movement of your pelvis and spine. Prolonged sitting over weeks, months, or years can limit hip flexors and muscle imbalances. These changes affect the natural movement of the hip joints, which in turn cause the pelvis to tilt, altering the posture of your spine and contributing to the development of low back pain. Luckily, you can feel better by improving your hip, pelvis, and spine mobility. Contact Restore Physical Therapy today to find out how!
