How Chiropractic Care Helps Correct Pelvic Dysfunction

Pelvic misalignment can develop gradually from poor posture, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, or a past injury, or it can occur suddenly after an accident or fall. When the pelvis shifts out of alignment, it can create uneven pressure on the lower spine and hips, contributing to chronic pain that does not resolve on its own. Dr. David Leidich evaluates your posture, gait, and spinal alignment to determine whether pelvic dysfunction is contributing to your symptoms.

Treatment typically involves gentle, targeted chiropractic adjustments to realign the pelvis and surrounding joints, often combined with physiotherapy exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and improve stability. Some patients also benefit from laser therapy to reduce inflammation in the surrounding soft tissue. Because pelvic dysfunction can affect the entire kinetic chain, correcting it often relieves related lower back, hip, and even knee discomfort.

Signs You May Have Pelvic Dysfunction

  • Lower back or hip pain that worsens with sitting or standing
  • Uneven leg length or a feeling of imbalance while walking
  • Pain that radiates into the groin or thigh
  • Pelvic pain following pregnancy or childbirth
  • Recurring lower back pain that has not improved with other treatment
