Pelvic Pain Care in Edmonton

Pelvic pain can feel isolating and frustrating, especially when it’s hard to pinpoint the cause. It may show up as dull aching, sharp discomfort, or a general sense that something just isn’t right. Whether it started after pregnancy, an injury, or seemingly out of nowhere, pelvic pain can be a sign that your body is holding tension and not moving as efficiently as it could.

Your pelvis supports everything above and below it. When it feels restricted, it can affect your hips, lower back, and how your body adapts to stress, movement, and rest. With the right support, many people can improve comfort and move with more ease.

More Than Just a Structural Issue

At South Side Chiropractic, we look at pelvic pain through both movement and nervous system function. When the pelvis isn’t moving well, your body may “guard” the area, which can contribute to ongoing tightness and sensitivity.

Through gentle chiropractic care, we assess how the lower spine and pelvis move and how this may relate to surrounding tissues. Our goal is to restore motion and support better coordination, so your body can respond to day-to-day demands more comfortably.

Our Approach to Pelvic Pain

We use specific, gentle adjustments to support motion in the sacrum, pelvis, and lower lumbar spine. These are not forceful. Depending on your assessment findings, we may also include soft-tissue work for nearby muscles and fascia, postural retraining, and simple breathing or mobility exercises to support long-term stability.

Supporting Your Body Between Visits

Progress doesn’t only happen on the adjustment table. Between visits, we may suggest gentle mobility such as hip figure-four stretches, pelvic tilts, or breathing exercises. Regular movement, hydration, and posture awareness can also help your body stay adaptable.

A Nervous System-Centred Philosophy

We view the pelvis as both a mechanical foundation and part of how your nervous system regulates stress and tension. Using a Polyvagal-informed lens, our care focuses on supporting steadier movement patterns and a greater sense of ease in the body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can chiropractic care help with pelvic floor issues?

Chiropractic care doesn’t directly treat the pelvic floor. However, improving movement in the pelvis and lower spine may support better coordination in the surrounding area. Some people notice changes in symptoms over time, and we can also collaborate with or refer to other providers when appropriate.

Is pelvic pain only a concern for women?

Not at all. While pregnancy and childbirth can be contributing factors, pelvic pain can affect both women and men. It may relate to injuries, postural strain, prolonged sitting, or stress patterns. We work with anyone experiencing pelvic discomfort.

How soon will I notice changes?

Responses vary. Some people notice changes within a few visits, while others need longer, depending on contributing factors and how long symptoms have been present. We’ll track your progress and adjust recommendations as needed.
