Your joint isn't worn out. It's unsupported.
Everything you've been told about hip pain — that it's "just aging," that it's inevitable, that surgery is the next logical step — assumes the problem is deterioration. But for most women dealing with daily hip and lower-back pain, the real issue is structural instability at the sacroiliac joint. The SI joint holds the pelvis together. When it shifts even slightly out of alignment, every nerve in the lower back, hip, and leg pays the price. That's the bone-on-bone grinding. That's the locked-up feeling in the morning. That's why you wake up at 3am. Pills don't fix alignment. Injections don't fix alignment. Only consistent, targeted mechanical support does.
