Pelvic Blocks

Pelvic blocks are triangular-type devices that are used to relax pelvic ligaments and induce pelvic rotation. These blocks are placed underneath the pelvis while the patient is lying down for a determined amount of time. This procedure will help to reduce any pelvic unleveling and associated low back pain.

Pelvic Drop Pieces

Pelvic drop pieces are sections of the chiropractic table that have the capability of elevating and dropping with the adjustment.
