The pelvis is situated on the lower region of your trunk, right between your abdomen and your legs. Your pelvis consists of four sections, namely the bony pelvis (or pelvic skeleton), pelvic cavity, pelvic floor and the perineum. Your pelvis is one of the main body parts that is looked at very closely during full body scans.

As we get older, one of the first joints that we feel the early signs of discomfort with are the hip joints. Whether we walk, run, or even the way we sit on the couch and stand up, our hips get the brunt of our body weight.

Pain relief is a topic that I think we can all relate to as we all have dealt with it at one time or another in our lives. If you are lucky enough to not have experienced muscle or joint pain, believe me as you age you will. As I am a very active person and an avid athlete, pain management is something that I deal with often. Also I often tend to ‘overdue’ things and push my body to the limit often when training or playing sports. Getting minor injuries from bruises to sore muscles to sprains is not only common for athletes but also the average person who is not so active because of age, a hard day’s work or a pulled muscle which can happen doing just about anywhere at anytime.

A spinal discectomy surgery in America is a very common procedure. The risks of the procedure are fairly low compared with the benefit. Granted, there is a risk of infection, bleeding, injury to the nerve being decompressed, etc.
