Pelvic Girdle Dysfunction (PGD) is a common condition affecting both men and women, though it is especially prevalent in women during pregnancy and postpartum. The pelvic girdle is a ring of bones connecting the spine to the hips, playing a crucial role in supporting the body's weight and enabling movement. Dysfunction in this area can cause severe pain and limit mobility.
Causes of Pelvic Girdle Dysfunction:
Pregnancy-related changes in the body
Hormonal shifts that loosen the joints
Injury or trauma to the pelvic region
Overuse of muscles surrounding the pelvic girdle
Poor posture or misalignment of the spine and hips
Symptoms of Pelvic Girdle Dysfunction:
Pain in the lower back, hips, groin, or thighs
Difficulty walking or standing for extended periods
Stiffness in the pelvic area, particularly after sitting
Clicking or grinding sensations in the pelvic joints
Pain that radiates down the legs or around the buttocks
Why Seek Treatment Early:
Early treatment for pelvic girdle dysfunction can prevent the condition from worsening and reduce the likelihood of chronic pain. Our approach focuses on personalized care, with a goal to restore mobility, strength, and comfort for each patient.
