Chiropractors palpate the pelvic region that is out of alignment with the rest of the spine. Make the adjustments to correct the imbalance.
There are many chiropractic techniques, special tool and tables and manual techniques are used. It can be done supine, prone or side posture.
There are many different ways and techniques to adjust one's pelvis. The most common technique would involve evaluating the pelvis for any malposition and then making corrections to that misalignment. The most commonly used form would occur on a flat bench or drop table where the chiropractor would apply force to the hip bones and thrust them back into the proper location. Some chiropractors may also lay the patient on his or her side and manipulate the body in that position with a different thrust. Other techniques use an instrument or soft blocks to align the pelvis. There is no one correct way to do this.

That is best answered by allowing the chiropractor to show you versus trying to explain in this answer. A demonstration is worth a thousand words.
I adjust the sacroiliac joint with a side posture manipulation.
If the pelvis is subluxed there is a specific technique that we use to adjust the pubis symphysis. It is part of your Doctor's student training.
Hello there, There are many way pelvis can be adjusted. Your chiropractor decides depending on your age and condition which will be the best way to adjust you at that time. For example there is a technique called S.O.T which uses blocks under your pelvis. another way is by instrument called activator which is fast and less force. there is also adjustments done by drop table which the force of your body with does the movement and the last is osseous movement. It all depends which will be the best technique for you and by communicating that with your chiropractor, you will find the best way to take care of your pelvis issues. Please also check with your medical doctor since some of pelvis pain are referred pain from your organs and once everything is cleared a chiropractic adjustments are very helpful in releasing fixations and misalignment that could be causing your pain. Best luck!
There are a multitude of various types of treatment available to the chiropractor to adjust the pelvis. A few methods would be SOT blocks, Drop Table, Activator, or manual adjustments. The goal is to improve the function of the lower lumbar spine, sacrum, and ilium, which is the pelvis.
Thank you for your question. There are many ways in which a chiropractor can adjust a pelvis. I use the Webster technique. This technique focuses on the neuro-biomechanical function of the pelvis. The adjustment is done by using leg-length checks, palpation/release of the pelvis muscles, and creating movement (adjusting) aspects of the sacroiliac joints and low back. A chiropractor can also adjust the pubic symphysis. The Webster technique is only one way to evaluate the pelvis.
Chiropractors are trained in several techniques when it comes to making adjustments. The common techniques you would typically see involves laying the patient on their side which is called side posture in Chiropractic medicine and depending on the direction the hip/pelvis needs to be corrected dictates where the doctor would place his or her hand. Usually it is placed on your pelvis near the small of your back (contact point) and a push or pull of the doctors hand will set the hips/pelvis back into place. The other common technique is to use what is called a drop table or Thompson table in which you (the patient) would be laying prone (face down) and a section of the table underneath your pelvis pops up and the doctor places his hands in the direction of correction and applies a firm push and the table section drops. It is a fairly gentle technique and many patients prefer it. Those are some examples, but there are other ways as well.
I hope this answers your question.

There are many ways to adjust the pelvis. The pelvis is made up of your sacrum, coccyx (tailbone), and two hip bones. You can be placed on your side and the doctor can gently push on your lower back area to adjust the pelvis; you can be laying on the table face down (or sideways) and soft blocks, a drop piece or Activator can be used.
There are several techniques for adjusting the pelvic area. The two most commonly used are Gonstead and Thompson. Both are hands on. The chiropractor analyzes the pelvic area to determine the listing, i.e., type of misalignment then places his/her hands on the correct contact point of the articulation, i.e., joint. They would then use the appropriate line of drive with the correct amount of pressure and thrust to realign the pelvis. It is a very simple and painless maneuver.

Chiropractor have many techniques that they use to adjust. Some use their hands, some use special tables, some use adjusting instruments, and some use special blocks. Make sure your chiropractor takes a good history and does an examination before doing any adjustment.
There are many different techniques to adjust the pelvis. I often use SOT blocks which gently realign your pelvis with little to no force.
Thank you for the question. There are a number of different techniques chiropractors can use when they adjust your pelvis. Some involve the traditional techniques where they lay you on your side and you hear some pops and clicks. Others don't require any twisting and use the table to make the adjustment or certain tools that put an impulse into the joint. I hope that helps answer your question.
There are many different adjustment techniques within the Chiropractic profession. Most commonly this is performed with the patient lying on their side with one leg bent and torque is applied to the Sacroiliac joints.
