Low back pain. Sacral pain. Hip mobility that won’t hold.
If even skilled chiro or physio helps only temporarily, and the pattern keeps returning, it may be worth considering whether factors beyond muscles and joints are contributing.
Sometimes these patterns may correlate with things like:
• Low back pain + constipation or difficulty with defecation → consider colon or re**um.
• Sacral pain + gynecological symptoms → consider uterine involvement.
• Low back pain + urinary frequency, bladder irritation, or kidney-area discomfort → consider bladder or kidneys.
• Low back pain + peri-umbilical bloating, tension, or discomfort → consider small intestine.
These patterns can exist with or without obvious digestive or pelvic symptoms.
But when those symptoms are present, a visceral contribution may become even more worth considering.
And sometimes what’s needed is a skilled investigation of tissues beyond the joints — including the abdominal and pelvic tissues — not just repeated treatment directed at the painful area.
Maybe I’m old-school, but I think every patient with persistent low back, sacral, or hip issues deserves an examination of the abdominal and pelvic area.
Sometimes the question isn’t just Where does it hurt?
It’s also What structures may be contributing to the pattern?
Patterns matter. Correlations matter. Assessment matters
