Hip & Pelvis Conditions We Treat
Your hips and pelvis are the foundation your spine stands on. When they are off, everything above compensates.
Hip and pelvic pain sits at the crossroads of the spine and the legs, and figuring out the true source takes a careful exam. Hip joint wear, SI joint dysfunction, and muscle problems like piriformis syndrome can all produce overlapping symptoms.
Dr. Farmer evaluates the hips, pelvis, and lumbar spine as one system, with on-site X-rays to clarify alignment and joint health. Treatment focuses on restoring balanced motion so the joint that hurts stops absorbing load it was never meant to carry.
For expecting mothers, pelvic alignment care is available as part of our prenatal chiropractic services, including gentle techniques appropriate for every stage of pregnancy.

Hip & Pelvis Conditions We Help With
These are the hip and pelvic complaints we treat most often for patients across Nashville.
Hip Pain
Groin, outer hip, and buttock pain each point to different structures. We identify which one is talking before we treat it.
Hip Arthritis
Arthritic hips benefit from keeping the joint and everything around it moving well. Conservative care may ease stiffness and support activity.
Piriformis Syndrome
When the piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic nerve, it can mimic disc-driven sciatica. The exam tells them apart, and the treatments differ.
Pregnancy-Related Pelvic Pain
Shifting posture and ligament changes during pregnancy commonly stress the pelvis. Our prenatal care addresses it gently and safely.

You often cannot tell from symptoms alone, because lumbar and hip problems overlap heavily. The combination of orthopedic testing and X-rays is how we separate them, and it is the first thing we do.
The sacroiliac joints connect your spine to your pelvis. When one locks up or becomes inflamed, it can cause one-sided lower back and buttock pain. Specific adjustments are designed to restore its normal motion.
