Your hips play a vital role in how your body moves every day.

They help support balance, stability, and efficient movement when you walk, sit, bend, or exercise. When the hips are not functioning well, it can place additional strain on the lower back, knees, and surrounding muscles.

Healthy hip mobility and strength are important for maintaining overall neuromusculoskeletal health.

Take a look at our infographic to learn why your hips matter and how they support movement and spinal health.

If you’re experiencing hip or lower back discomfort, consider consulting a CASA-registered chiropractor for an assessment.

Adolescence is a time of rapid growth and development.

During these years, the body – including the spine – is constantly changing. Growth spurts, heavy school bags, long hours studying, and increased screen time can sometimes place extra strain on the musculoskeletal system.

Encouraging healthy habits early can help support lifelong spinal health:
- Maintain good posture while studying
- Stay physically active
- Carry school bags correctly
- Take regular breaks from screens

Chiropractors are trained to assess the spine and musculoskeletal system and can help guide adolescents toward healthier movement habits.

If you have concerns about your teenager’s posture, back pain, or movement, consider consulting a CASA-registered chiropractor.

"Are the chiropractic techniques shown by overseas chiropractors on TikTok the same as the care provided by registered chiropractors
in South Africa?”

Short answer: No
Social media clips are just that - clips. A short, curated snippet of a treatment session. They don’t show the full clinical process:
• Comprehensive history-taking
• Orthopaedic and neurological assessment
• Clinical reasoning
• Informed consent
• Individualised treatment planning

In South Africa, chiropractors are regulated by the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa and trained at Master’s level.

Care is evidence-informed, patient-centred, and tailored to your specific needs - not designed for views or viral moments.

Remember: what you see online is a moment in time, not the full picture of professional healthcare.
