Understanding Hip Arthritis and Posture Imbalances

Hip arthritis often develops gradually as the cartilage in the hip joint wears down over time. But beyond simple “wear and tear,” posture imbalances and gait issues are major contributors. When one hip carries more load than the other, or when poor posture alters how your pelvis and spine align, it can create uneven pressure on the joint. Over years, this imbalance leads to inflammation, stiffness, and pain.
At Tutt Street Family Chiropractic, we help patients identify these imbalances early and correct them before they lead to long-term joint damage.

How Chiropractic Care Supports Hip Health

Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment to the hips and spine, reducing uneven stress on the hip joints. This not only relieves discomfort but also improves circulation and mobility in the surrounding tissues. By correcting imbalances, chiropractic care helps the hips move more smoothly and slows down the progression of arthritis.Advanced Therapies: Laser & Shockwave
Soft tissue healing is a critical part of hip arthritis care. Two therapies we use in our Kelowna clinic are:

Laser Therapy: Uses light energy to reduce inflammation, speed up cell repair, and promote tissue regeneration in muscles and ligaments around the hip.
Shockwave Therapy: Sends acoustic waves into the tissues, breaking down scar tissue, stimulating blood flow, and encouraging the body’s natural healing response.

Together, these therapies address the tight muscles, inflamed tendons, and strained ligaments that often accompany hip arthritis.Orthotics: Healing from the Ground Up
Every step you take impacts your hips. Custom orthotics correct abnormal gait patterns by supporting your arches, aligning your lower body, and cushioning impact with every step. By stabilizing your feet, orthotics reduce mechanical stress on the hips, giving them the chance to move and heal more effectively.

We also refer out for digital weight-bearing X-rays, which are an important diagnostic tool for seeing exactly how your hips and pelvis line up while you’re standing.Supplement Support for Joint Health
In addition to chiropractic care and therapies, high-quality joint support supplements can provide your hips with the nutrients they need to heal and function. We carry two excellent Canadian-made options in our clinic:
