Pelvic Imbalance Treatment in Oak Creek
Pelvic imbalance occurs when your pelvis shifts out of its proper alignment, creating a cascade of problems throughout your body. Our practice specializes in identifying and correcting these misalignments through targeted chiropractic care and complementary therapies. We take a comprehensive approach that addresses the underlying causes of pelvic dysfunction to restore proper alignment and eliminate associated pain.
When your pelvis is misaligned, it doesn’t just affect your hips. This imbalance can lead to low back pain, hip discomfort, knee problems, uneven leg length, and difficulty walking or standing for extended periods.
Common Causes of Pelvic Imbalance
Pelvic misalignment can develop from various factors including pregnancy and childbirth, repetitive movements or overuse, poor posture habits, sports injuries, auto accidents, and muscle imbalances. Even seemingly minor issues like consistently carrying a heavy bag on one shoulder or favoring one leg while standing can gradually pull your pelvis out of alignment over time.
Our Targeted Treatment Solutions
Correcting pelvic imbalance requires a precise, multifaceted approach. Through specific chiropractic adjustments, we realign the pelvis and sacroiliac joints to restore proper positioning. Our treatment plans often incorporate therapeutic exercises to strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones, laser therapy to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing, and spinal decompression when disc issues contribute to the imbalance.
The Importance of Proper Diagnosis
Before beginning treatment, we conduct a thorough examination including posture analysis, range of motion testing, leg length evaluation, and palpation of the pelvis and surrounding structures. X-rays may be recommended to assess bone positioning and identify any underlying structural issues. This comprehensive evaluation ensures we understand exactly what’s causing your pelvic imbalance.
