4 Ways to Chiropractic Can Help Pelvic Floor Issues
Your pelvic floor is basically a large sheet of muscles that stretches from your tailbone in the back to your pubic bone in the front. The muscles that make up the pelvic floor help to keep the organs in the area, such as your bladder and bowel, in place. You can think about these muscles like a sling or hammock for the organs in the pelvis, offering them constant support.

Issues with the muscles that comprise the pelvic floor are unfortunately pretty common. This is because over the course of life they can become too tight, stretched out, or are too weak to do their job appropriately. One of the biggest causes behind weakened or stretched pelvic floor muscles is PREGNANCY — an event that definitely puts the area through its paces!
Pelvic floor dysfunction is a condition many women suffer from but are often embarrassed to seek help for. You don’t have to suffer from the side effects of pelvic floor dysfunction because… chiropractic care CAN help!
- Balance the pelvis: Balancing the pelvis is crucial to alleviate pressure on the pelvic floor muscles, thus enhancing their overall function. Chiropractic adjustments can effectively realign the pelvis and relieve stress on these muscles.
- Release tension: Addressing tightness within the pelvic region, including the pelvic floor muscles, is vital for comfort and optimal function. Many chiropractic techniques such as manual adjustments, and stretching can help release tension in these muscles.
- Improve posture: Enhancing posture is key to reducing stress on the pelvic floor muscles, preventing discomfort, and maintaining their proper function. Chiropractic adjustments can help assess posture problems and provide recommendations for improvement.
- Enhance nerve function: Optimal nerve function is essential for pelvic floor muscle performance. Subluxations in the spine can impact these nerves. Chiropractic adjustments can improve nerve function, ultimately enhancing the function of pelvic floor muscles.
