Pelvic Floor Care in Okotoks
Pelvic floor concerns can affect much more than bladder control. They may make exercise uncomfortable, change the way you move, or leave you planning your day around the nearest bathroom. Although these issues are common, they aren’t something you simply have to accept. The team at Complete Health Chiropractic & Massage provides personalized assessments to help identify what may be affecting pelvic floor function and develop a treatment plan that fits your needs.
What Is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that helps support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs while also contributing to core stability and everyday movement. When these muscles become too weak, too tight, or poorly coordinated, they can cause a wide range of symptoms affecting comfort, movement, and bladder or bowel function.
Pelvic floor dysfunction can develop gradually over time or occur after pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, or other changes affecting the pelvis and core.
Common Causes of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pelvic floor dysfunction can develop for many reasons, which is why a thorough assessment is an important part of determining the most appropriate treatment approach.
Common causes include:
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Chronic straining from constipation or heavy lifting
- Previous abdominal or pelvic surgery
- High-impact exercise without adequate core control
- Hormonal changes, including menopause
- Postural or breathing patterns that increase pressure through the pelvis
Recognizing the Symptoms
Symptoms vary depending on how the pelvic floor muscles are functioning. Some people experience urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising, while others notice increased urgency or more frequent trips to the bathroom.
Pelvic pressure, discomfort while sitting, pain during intercourse, low back or hip pain, and muscle tightness or spasms can also be associated with pelvic floor dysfunction. Although these concerns are common, they may benefit from professional assessment rather than simply being managed over time.
