To be sure, you need to consult with a reputable chiropractor.

There can be many signs and symptoms of misaligned hips. Pain in the hip or low back region are a very common signs. Other signs may include knee pain or stiffness, stiffness in the low back, and stiffness in the hips. Pain and tightness in the surrounding area of the hips are good indicators of misaligned hips.
Hip misalignment almost always causes one of your legs to appear shorter than the other. It’s easiest to see if you lay face-down and have someone put your feet together to see if one leg is shorter than the other. Remember, it’s a functional short leg, meaning the shortness is caused by the misalignment, and when corrected, the legs will become even again. It is possible to have a leg that’s anatomically shorter but it’s more rare.
