Long axis distraction of the femoroacetabular (hip) joint is a powerful technique for improving joint mobility and reducing functional leg length inequality. ⠀ By decompressing the hip joint, we can reduce capsular tension, improve joint alignment, and help restore symmetrical pelvic and lower limb mechanics—often leading to improved gait and reduced compensatory strain on the spine and knees. ⠀ Not all leg length differences are structural—many are functional and responsive to precise manual th

Long axis distraction adjustment of the femoroacetabular joint (hip joint) helps reduce compression and restore mobility—relieving hip, pelvic, and lower back pain & discomfort. #Hippain #Mobility #LowBackpajn #Chiro #movebetter #cracking #hip #california #toronto | Dr. Soroush Khoshroo

No more wrestling with your patients' legs! 🛑🦵 Manual therapy is great, but let’s be honest—doing manual traction, especially long-axis distraction or thrust manipulation on the hip, can be exhausting for your grip and your back. If you’re trying to generate enough force to make a change but you're sliding off the ankle or burning out your forearms, you aren't being efficient. My colleague, Dr. Jeffrey Redenius, invented a simple solution for this: The TR-Action Assist. I gave it a run in the

Performing a long axis distraction (pulling move) adjustment on the femoral-acetabular joint (FA joint). This adjustment helps with improving the hip joint range of motion and reducing impingement syndrome. In addition, it can help with reducing a functional leg length discrepancy due to a pelvic tilt and misalignment. #hipadjustment #distraction #adjustment #chiro #leglengthdiscrepency #chiropractor #vancouverchiropractor #hipimpingement | Dr. Soroush Khoshroo
