Few things in life occur in isolation. Because the body is an interconnected structure, back pain is seldom limited to only the back. If left untreated, back pain can lead to osteoarthritis of the hips. In fact, an analysis of patients with low back pain shows that they experienced a higher incidence of hip osteoarthritis (but not knee arthritis). What this means for those suffering from low back pain is that it is possible that their condition can lead to overcompensation and unusual wear and tear of the hip joint. The best approach to solving this cascade effect is to address the underlying cause(s). Chiropractic treatment can help realign the spine and diminish future degeneration of the lower back.
