The hip bone's connected to the back bone,

It's a beloved song of chiropractic physicians far and wide, specifically your very own La Grande chiropractor at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC! It's incredible how a kid's song can encapsulate such truth! All our bones are connected. If one isn't feeling good, the others may not either. The focus of this article is how the hip alignment and spinal alignment are related.

Back in chiropractic school, we chiropractic physicians were taught about the MacNab line to measure sacral base angles and hip angles and determine whether facet syndrome is an issue. You don't have to understand them, but you can be comforted that your La Grande chiropractor does! Don't be surprised when we share your x-rays with you with angles and lines drawn on them. These lines and angles mean a lot. Now, Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC isn't an art school or engineering facility, but we do combine these abilities a bit to get a handle on how your spine sets.

This new paper interestingly shares that acetabular (hip) orientation is related to spino-pelvic balance. If these angles are off, your balance may be off, too. (1) You know how important balance is! Balance plays a role in your risk for falls and resulting fractures for both men and women, especially if you are osteoporotic. Let Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC check your hip and spine angles to be sure yours are in the best orientation they can be…and relieve any pain you may be experiencing.

Bottom line: All your bones are linked, just like the song says.
