‼️ Get those hips checked! 🩺 A hip click does not always mean that your infant has hip dysplasia, but it is a potential symptom which can be ruled out or diagnosed with further testing such as an ultrasound or x-ray. 📲 For more information visit: imahippy.org

🤫 #hipdysplasia is referred to as a “silent condition”... 👼 This is because often babies and young children with hip dysplasia don’t experience pain, and in many cases, it doesn’t limit them from learning how to walk. 🤞 That’s why regular #hipchecks are so important!

📆The earlier #hipdysplasia is detected, the more effective the treatment will be! 🤞That’s why it’s so important for all babies to have their hips checked at all of their well-baby visits. Additional testing may be required if any of the hip dysplasia risk factors are present.
