【High school athele's pain in hip joint】ソフトボールをしている高校生の股関節痛

Mr. A, a senior in high school plays softball in school. During the hard-core training before a big tournament, his hip joint started to hurt. The cause of the pain was from misalignment of his hip joint, which had occurred by sliding. Once it was aligned, his pain disappeared.

When he came to see us accompanied by his mother, he was dragging his feet. The mother said, "His hip joint started to hurt all the sudden since this morning, and he has been dragging his feet since."

"Tell me where it hurts", I asked.

"Around here", he was pointing round his right hip joint.

"I see. Have you had any bruises or something like that recently?"

"I don't think so."

"OK, I will check all of your body, and see what is causing the pain."

Mr. A slowly moved to a bed. I checked his body in standing, sitting, and prone positions, and I found that the right hip joint was placed inward. 

"Mr. A, your right hip joint is placed inward. Maybe, this is because of sliding."

"Oh, yes, I did sliding yesterday."

"OK, now I will start aligning it."

I aligned the right hip joint and thighbone by pulling outward with HSTi equipments, and also sacrum, tailbone, and rib #6, which had contortions due to effect of contorted hip joint. 
"Mr. A, how is it now?"

"I think that it is now less painful." says Mr. A, trying to move his body in many directions.

He came to see us the following day, too.

The mother says, "I was very surprised to see him walking normally after the session yesterday. But he still has some pain, so he took time off from the practice today. The tournament is in 5 days, do you think that he will be healed by then?"

"I cannot promise that, but aligning hip joint and its related bones will help to ease the pain and go away faster."

This time, I aligned hip joint, lumbar spine, rib and skull.

"How is it now?", I asked Mr. A after the second session.

"It is much better than whem I came today."

He left with his mother with much improved hip joint.
