Re:twisted/rotated pelvis ? - TOM

[Guest guest]

Tom, if you find a spare moment, would you mind commenting on this post. See you tomorrow! :-) ~ChelleHello! 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 atwisted/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 likemodified diets, yoga, estrogen cream, and acupuncture. I just started seeing a new acupuncturist. She has a different approach, sheseems to combine acupuncture with orthopedics/chiropracty. There's

a lot ofmanipulation, she uses her hands and inserts needles into the ligaments. She is working torelease certain muscles in my lower back (which run directly to the perineum) and also tocorrect the alignment of my pelvis, which is quite tilted and rotated. She thinks thiscould have a lot to do with the pain I'm experiencing...since all the muscles in that area areso intertwined. She is not an expert on vulvodynia, but she is a well respected acupuncturistand she seems to have a very good sense of the body. I've never heard very much about twisted pelvises in the vulvodyniacommunity. The odd thing is physical therapist told me that there was nothing wrong withmy 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 havepelvic 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 understandingof 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 couldmake sense that you would also suffer from digestive troubles if your body in that area issomehow twisted and different things are being pulled on.
