A member asked:
Shifting of the hips which is called a sciatic shift,is it repairable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sciatica: Sciatica with shifting of the hips can be caused by nerve impingement in the lumbar spine (low back) but it may also be inflammation of the sacroiliac joints. Muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory medications can help. Physical therapy and chiropractic care are beneficial too. See a neurosurgeon if the pain persists.
