One in six Australians suffers from some sort of back pain, making it one of the most common health issues in the country. Now if you belong to that statistic, you know that a simple back pain can be caused by different problems that are mostly related to your spine.
If you’ve already done some research on how to solve the problem, you might have heard of pelvic blocking, a chiropractic technique that’s used to address back problems related to pain, dysfunction or misalignment. But when exactly do you need pelvic blocking?
You are suffering from lower back pain.
Lower back pain is usually caused by pelvic misalignment, which is essentially the deviation of the pelvis from its normal position. This results in the rotation of the pelvis causing lower back pain that extends to the thighs. It can also cause poor posture and balance in the long run, especially if not addressed right away. But pelvic blocking can help to correct the problem to reduce pain and improve your quality of life.
You have sciatica.
Sciatica is a kind of pain that radiates down the entire leg and is named after the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. While sciatica can be caused by many things, it can be related to pelvic problems that can be treated with pelvic blocking. Pair regular treatments with a good fitness routine, and you can prevent sciatica from happening again.
You have sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
You may not know it, but that simple pain that you’re feeling in your back and hips could be due to a sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This condition happens when the sacroiliac joint, the joint that connects your spine to your pelvis, has been misaligned due to sudden movement, injury and other reasons. Although you might not feel so much pain at first, the pain will eventually progress and affect your hips and even your buttocks. But with pelvic blocking, you can address this problem before it affects your movement and daily routine.
Of course, pelvic blocking can also help address many other conditions like swelling, numbness and tingling that’s related to your pelvic area.
