Unlocking the Root Cause of Back and Pelvic Pain Many of our patients experience relief when other forms of care have failed them

Too often, people struggle with recurring back or pelvic pain because the true source of the problem is not being addressed. Often, the underlying issue is a misalignment (what chiropractors call a subluxation) in the pelvic and lower spinal structures. These may involve the right and left ilium (hip bones), the sacrum (tailbone), the low lumbar region (lower back), or even the coccyx (the very tip of the tailbone).

The coccyx is one of the most overlooked areas. Many healthcare providers—whether chiropractic, medical, or osteopathic physicians, or even physical therapists—do not analyze it unless there has been a serious injury. Yet misalignment here can be a hidden key to unlocking relief.

Correcting these problems is like finding the right combination to a safe. All the involved components need to be identified and corrected in a specific order to achieve lasting results. Over the years, we have helped patients with severe, acute back pain as well as those who have been suffering for many years.

What the Research Says

Chiropractic care is well-supported in clinical practice guidelines and medical research. Studies consistently show it is:

• Effective for low back pain, neck pain, and headaches
• Safe, with lower risks than prescription drugs or surgery
• Cost-effective, making it one of the best first-line treatment options

For example:

• The American College of Physicians (ACP) recommends spinal adjustments as a first-line treatment for both acute and chronic low back pain, before resorting to medication or invasive procedures.
• A 2017 review in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) concluded spinal manipulation is an effective option for acute low back pain.
• The British Medical Journal (BMJ) and other international guidelines also support chiropractic as a frontline, conservative approach.

Take the First Step

The best way to know if chiropractic care can help is through an evaluation and a trial period of care. Most patients notice improvement within just a few visits. This approach avoids unnecessary expensive testing, as well as the risks of addictive pain medications, injections, or invasive surgeries.
