KST A to Z

Hip avascular necrosis, posture change

Michael Winters, DC

Paducah, Kentucky

57-year-old male consulted us for his hip pain. In 2006, he broke his right ankle and wore a cast for some time, after which he developed hip pain and was told he had avascular necrosis of the right hip, confirmed by X-ray showing femur head flattening and significant osteoarthritis.

He stood with a huge sway to the left and could not put more than 10% of his weight on the right leg. The 1st adjustment was L4 disc left and percussion of the lateral right hip, and his hip pain worsened after that. The 2nd adjustment was lateral hip on the trochanter and sacral chakra off the body.

He returned for his third visit with the most dramatic posture change ever seen - putting equal weight on both legs with much less pain.
