Ever have a chiropractor work on your shifted pelvis?

[Les26]

I had a D.O. tell me Friday night that my pelvis was shifted, thus causing "pulling" muscle pain in my lower back, buttock and knee. He gave me 4 exercises to do, some muscle relaxers (which are sleeping pills!) and said that a chiropractor probably could help with this. The exercises seem to be helping already. Here's my question-have any of you ever had this worked on by a chiropractor? Did it help and how long did it take? I really don't want to go "long-term" as some of them want you to do, but if they can help in a short while I'd consider it. I know that everyone is different and so are the doctors, but I'd like to hear any expereiences-thanks!

yes I have because sometimes I twist funny in my sleep

go as long as you feel like it's helping you
there is no set time frame on how many treatments will help.....it all depends

Thank you Rosequartz. How do they go about "adjusting" it?

by spinal manipulation. you lay on the table on your side and twist a certain way and the chiropractor pushes and it snaps back in
my chiropractor also uses the B.E.S.T. method, you can look it up on a search. I think it stands for bio electrical stimulation technique? I could be wrong. it's kinda like a pressure point thing where he presses certain spots, you breathe in and out slowly and the pain is gone.
there is no snapping with the B.E.S.T. method

This sounds very similiar to the way that a physical therapist "reset" my Sacroiliac joint about 3 weeks ago. He said that he "had to use a lot of pressure because my back was tight". Funny how this is the same side that the pelvis is shifted on....Thanks for your reply!
