Ever have a chiropractor work on your shifted pelvis?

[Les26]

Thank you Blue Atlas for your reply and information. The doctor did recommend someone not real far from me; now that I know that it shouldn't be a long drawn-out procedure I'll probably give them a call. If it was something that I had to go more often for I'd probably pick someone near where I work. It's kind of a scary thing to let your health in someone else's hands, isn't it? Thanks again for the reply!

I made the call to the chiro that the doctor recommended and actually got into see him tonight. He was very good; he actually LISTENED to me explain all of the problems that had happened to me (accidents) over the last 13 months, and when he checked me out he explained every move that he made. He determined that it is my tailbone that is the problem-he said the pelvis and tailbone go hand in hand. He made an adjustment on it and while it feels sore it does feel better at the same time; kind of like when you pull a thorn out of your skin it hurts yet but there is relief. I am to see him Wed. and Fri. and he thinks that we can fix this in a reasonable amount of time. I'm glad that I went-thanks for all of your help!

I have the exact same problem. Si joint problems and pelvis out of alignment. The muscle that the SI joint is pulling on that is creating pain in your backside may be the Piriformis muscle. I have been seeing a chiropractor who has helped a lot. She uses a machine called a Pro-adjuster to adjust my spine in the area of the sacrum and also my pelvis. It has helped after 5 treatments and I need a total of 10 to get out of pain. When I previously went to a chiropractor and had manual adjusments I felt like it just caused more pain and I quit. I also have a muscle relaxant called Baclofen which is not terribly effective and tends to put me to sleep. Best of luck to you!

Thank you and you're right; I've been saying for quite awhile now that it's the Piriformis muscle that is pulling but no one would listen before this guy. It goes from the lower back down under the left buttock and into the top of the back of the thigh. I think that this guy will be able to help; I feel a little sore today which is natural but straighter and somewhat better. Thanks!

I'm happy you found a good one! I hope he helps. sometimes you are a little sore just from a bone pressing into tissue and even when it's put back in alingment, it takes a little while for the tissue to "spring" back. As far as exercises, I briefly looked up nismat and will research it a little more, thanks! My chiro suggested exercizes similar to the ones you mentioned. I hope you feel better soon!
