Can chiropractic care help with prolapse?
There is no clinical evidence that chiropractic care can treat or reverse pelvic organ prolapse. Some women may experience temporary relief of back or pelvic discomfort, but chiropractic does not address the underlying pelvic floor weakness or support loss.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Chiropractic adjustments may help manage secondary musculoskeletal symptoms (such as back pain from altered posture), but they do not restore pelvic organ support or strengthen the pelvic floor. NHS and NICE do not recommend chiropractic as a primary or adjunct prolapse treatment. (NHS: Prolapse treatment)
Clinical Context
See a pelvic health physiotherapist for evidence-based approaches to prolapse. Always discuss alternative therapies with your GP.
Evidence-Based Approaches
