Chiropractic Treatment of Low Back Pain and Tilted Pelvis

Chiropractic treatment of low back pain and tilted pelvis normally involves a comprehensive approach that addresses the causative factors:
  • Spinal manipulation to resolve the pelvic tilting/obliquity.
  • Electrical muscle stimulation with heat to reduce muscle spasms.
  • Myofascial treatments to resolve trigger points.
  • Prescribed stretches to elongate the iliopsoas.
  • Hydration recommendations in order to eliminate myofasciitis (inflamed muscles).
