Do you have back pain?


Does this picture describe you?
Low-back pain and uneasiness all the way up to your neck?
It can even affect your jaw. It is so common.

If you are bouncing between the chiropractor and the massage therapist to get relief , the answer is simple. The pain is not being addressed at it's source!

Most often a mis-aligned pelvis, with resultant sacral torsion will be the problem.
HOW does this happen? Well...have you played sports, and fallen on your bum?
Have you ever slipped, or fallen on stairs? or were you running and a hole in the lawn that you didn't see comes up, so you jar yourself, but don't actually fall.
Any of these circumstances can be the cause.
(Another would be recent or not so recent child-birth, but I will save that for another post!)

The pelvis needs to be addressed and aligned because it is the center of gravity of your whole body! This is what we do at Hope Allen PT. I will make sure that before you leave my office, you understand the problem and how to take care of it, should it happen again.
One of my goals is to give you tools to help yourself!

Here is a few links to different variations of a product I use myself for great relief of shoulder and back pain especially.
