twisted/rotated pelvis ?

[Guest guest]

Hello! I've been a member for a while but this is my first post.

I wanted to ask if anyone else has been connecting vaginal pain with a

twisted/rotated pelvis.

I'm 23 and I've had vulvar vestibulitis for about three years.

I'm currently in physical therapy, and I've tried other things too like modified

diets, yoga, estrogen cream, and acupuncture.

I just started seeing a new acupuncturist. She has a different approach, she

seems to combine acupuncture with orthopedics/chiropracty. There's a lot of

manipulation, she uses her hands and inserts needles into the ligaments.

She is working to release certain muscles in my lower back (which run directly

to the

perineum) and also to correct the alignment of my pelvis, which is quite tilted

and

rotated. She thinks this could have a lot to do with the pain I'm

experiencing...since

all the muscles in that area are so intertwined.

She is not an expert on vulvodynia, but she is a well respected acupuncturist

and she seems to have a very good sense of the body.

I've never heard very much about twisted pelvises in the vulvodynia community.

The odd thing is physical therapist told me that there was nothing wrong with my

alignment. I also saw a vulvodynia specialist (Dr. Tu) who told me that

there is

*sometimes* a connection between vulvodynia and pelvis alignment, but that most

people

have pelvic problems anyway. He seemed vague...and dubious about the connection.

It is too early in my new treatment for me to really have a solid understanding

of how much these things relate to each other,

But I was wondering if anyone else sees a correlation?

I also know that many people with vaginal pain also suffer from IBS. It could

make sense that you would also suffer from digestive troubles if your body in

that area is

somehow twisted and different things are being pulled on.
