Question
I am a 42 yr old female. I have right hip and
low back pain.The pain initially started in my
groin area radiated to the outer hip and now
to my lower back. I can stand and walk
without problems but when I sit ,sleep or
ride in the car, the pain is stabbing and
shooting and I usually call out because the
pain just grabs at me. I saw my family
physician today and was given steroids and
alleve p.o. She stated that injectible steroids
would not be of any help, do you think this is
true? Do you think a visit to the chiropractor
would be of any benefit ?  

Answer
Jennifer,

First and foremost I definitely think you should seek a chiropractic consultation. More than likely you have Subluxated your hip,pelvis and/or your spinal vertebrae. The only way to find this out is to see a chiropractor. A Subluxation occurs when one or more of your spinal vertebra gets out of position and then pinches your nerves.

As far as the Steroids if your MD says they won't work they probably won't. Hopefully after seeing the Chiropractor you won't need the steroids.

Hope this helps in your decision making.

Sincerely
Dr John Q Quackenbush
