Treating Pelvic Pain at Osteopathy Bern

Pelvic Pain

Pelvic Pain refers to pain of the structures around the pelvis including the two sacroiliac joints (at the bottom of the spine at both sides of the lower back) and to the joint at the front of the pelvis just below our bladder.

Did you know that pain coming from the sacroiliac joint is often a cause of low back pain? It affects about 10-25% of people experiencing back pain.
