CHIROPRACTIC AND REMEDIAL MASSAGE FOR PELVIC PAIN IN ADELAIDE
Pelvic pain is a complex condition that can affect men and women, causing discomfort in the lower abdomen, hips, groin, lower back, and pelvic region.
It may be acute or chronic, mild, or severe, and can significantly impact mobility, posture, daily activities, and quality of life.
At Chiropractic On Winston, chiropractic care and remedial massage therapy are used to address musculoskeletal and nervous system contributors to pelvic pain, improve mobility, reduce muscle tension, and support long term recovery.
Pelvic pain refers to pain felt in the area below the belly button and between the hips.
It can originate from joints, muscles, ligaments, nerves, and surrounding structures, as well as internal organs.
In many cases, pelvic pain is linked to biomechanical dysfunctions, muscle imbalances, and spinal or joint misalignment.
Pelvic pain can be:
- Acute (short term, often related to injury or strain)
- Chronic (lasting more than 3 months)
- Intermittent or constant
- Localised or radiating into the lower back, hips, thighs, or groin
Common Causes of Pelvic Pain
Musculoskeletal issues are a frequent contributor to pelvic pain and respond well to chiropractic and remedial massage care.
Common causes include:
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Hip joint restrictions
- Lumbar spine misalignment
- Pelvic floor muscle tension or weakness
- Muscle strains in the groin, hip flexors, gluteal muscles, or lower back
- Poor posture and movement mechanics
Chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring joint mobility and alignment in the pelvis, hips, and lower spine.
Benefits include:
- Reduced joint irritation and inflammation
- Improved movement and biomechanics
- Decreased nerve irritation
- Enhanced pelvic stability and function
Remedial massage targets tight, overactive, or scarred soft tissues that contribute to pelvic pain. Techniques may include:
- Deep tissue massage
- Trigger point therapy
- Myofascial release
- Muscle stretching and mobilisation
Massage therapy helps improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and support tissue healing.
Preventative strategies include:
- Maintaining good posture when sitting and standing
- Strengthening core and pelvic floor muscles
- Stretching hip flexors, gluteal muscles, and lower back regularly
- Using proper lifting techniques
- Avoiding prolonged sitting without breaks
- Managing stress and muscle tension
- Seeking regular musculoskeletal assessments when symptoms arise
