Causes of Uneven Hips
- Scoliosis: A common cause of uneven hips, scoliosis is the sideways curvature of the spine. It can occur in both children and adults and may affect one’s breathing and lead to deterioration of health.
- Bad posture or stance for a long period of time: Having a preferred side to lean on may lead to an imbalance in muscle strength, thus resulting in uneven hips.
- Difference in leg lengths: Structural leg discrepancy can be congenital or occur due to leg injuries.
How to Fix Uneven Hips in Singapore
Various treatments are available to fix uneven hips depending on their severity. Severe structural leg length differences tend to require surgery for alignment correction. However, some cases may be able to be solved through regular therapy or exercise.
1. Hip Adjustment Exercises
These exercises are simple and can be done on your own at home. They are easily the most convenient treatments for uneven hips, and regularly doing these exercises is good for the long term as well. Those with minor cases of uneven hips or who want to prevent the occurrence of uneven hips will find these exercises can work well.
Stretching exercises are essential as they will help to improve flexibility, restore balance to the hip muscles, and help to realign the hips.
Strengthening exercises can aid in supporting proper hip alignment and increase stability. When the strength of the muscles on both sides of the hips is rebalanced, one’s weight can be spread evenly, which reduces the possibility of over-reliance on one side.
2. Chiropractic Massage
When home therapies are not enough to fix uneven hips, consulting a chiropractor may be one of the next steps. Professional chiropractors assess and analyse your condition and provide targeted treatments for hip realignment.
An example of a chiropractic technique that can help improve uneven hips is spinal manipulation, which helps restore balance and alignment and thus reduces the pain that may arise from unaligned hips.

Korean Bone Reshaping is an all-natural hand technique that can realign the pelvis naturally without surgery. This means it is more cost-effective with no side effects and downtime.

Many people have a more defined chin on one side, a lopsided smile, or one cheekbone higher than the other. And uneven hips can worsen these facial asymmetries over time.

However, this depends on each individual and the severity of their condition as well.
