My 17 years old female athlete patient finally gets rid of the back pain and leg discrepancy after 6 visits. She asked me why previous chiropractic approach on the hip and back did not help her for more than 3 weeks.
My answer to that question was simple. After adjustment of the alignment, the muscles around the lumbar and pelvic needs to be able to hold the bones in the perfect position with functional activities. That is what was missing for most of my clients when they worked with other professionals. As you can see the right knee in the photo below, my client might report knee pain as the main issue. Legs discrepancy might contribute to back pain, hip pain, and knee pain.
Manipulation techniques have been proved to be useful and effective for lumbar, pelvic and hips malalignment. The long-term benefits of the exercises and self-adjustment technique should also be addressed for the maximum long-term outcome.
Pelvic floor muscles are crucial to maintaining the alignment of the legs and lumbar spine. It holds the internal organs, pulls the pelvic bone together, and works together with hips muscles for almost every single movement of our body.
Kegel or pelvic floor exercises are well accepted by many professionals in the medical field. Most of my clients require more guidance to apply the concept of pelvic exercises into functional activities or workouts.
Because of the imbalance of the pelvic muscles and hips alignment, you might have stiffness and weakness in the legs. Getting specific stretching of the tight tissues and strengthening of those weak muscles will help you achieve your goals fast.
