What Causes Hips To Get Out Of Place?

my hips get out of place and it is very painful. I have been going to a chiropractor and that helps for a short time. What is wrong with my hips? It is usually only one at a time that messes up. One of my legs will be longer than the other when this happens.

Hello,

I have studied your case.
You history suggest early arthritis.
Pain along hip joint indicates possibility of early hip arthritis.

There can be possibility of recurrent hip dislocation.
Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate.
For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.
