Pelvic girdle pain rarely responds to one thing alone, and the useful plan usually combines manual care with movement advice. These are the other services running at our Highway 7 clinic and how each of them tends to fit alongside.

Years of Combined Experience
Who We Are
Pelvic girdle pain affects a substantial share of pregnancies and often gets mistaken for a groin strain or ordinary back pain. The pelvis is a ring of joints, and as ligaments soften those joints move differently, which can produce pain at the front, the back or both. Gentle chiropractic care can help ease that discomfort, alongside advice on stairs, sleeping and how to get in and out of a car. Milne Dam Conservation Park sits a short drive from us by way of McCowan Road.
- Multidisciplinary Team
Chiropractors, physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists collaborating under one roof, so your care is coordinated, not fragmented.
- Movement Based Approach
We assess how your body actually moves, then build a treatment plan that restores function from the foundation up. Kinetic. Core. Foundation.
“Pain at the front of the pelvis is not a groin strain.”
A great many people describe pubic pain to somebody and are told they have pulled something. The distinction matters because a strain is managed with rest and a pelvic joint problem is managed by changing how you load the ring. Getting the name right is what changes the advice.
What We Offer
Services Middlefield Patients Combine With This
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care covers the low back and pelvic joints outside pregnancy, using standard techniques, and it is where a good many patients continue on once the pregnancy itself has ended.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy provides the hip and trunk strength work that supports the pelvic ring, and that is very much the active half of managing this particular kind of discomfort properly.
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy eases the surrounding muscular tension that builds as you compensate, and the registered massage therapists here will adjust their positioning throughout a pregnancy.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one option that some patients use for persistent pelvic discomfort, and its suitability during a pregnancy is always confirmed at the assessment before anything begins.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy is used for musculoskeletal pain in other regions and is not applied over the abdomen in pregnancy, which is confirmed carefully before any session at all is arranged for you.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics can matter where the feet have changed through pregnancy, since how the foot meets the ground will alter whatever reaches the pelvis on every single step you take.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Exercise rehabilitation from a registered kinesiologist keeps you moving safely at a level the pelvis tolerates, which is considerably better than stopping activity altogether for several months.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy is delivered privately by a physiotherapist with pelvic health training, and it is frequently relevant in cases where pelvic girdle pain forms part of the wider picture.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic is the subject of this page, using gentle low force techniques for pelvic and low back comfort in pregnancy and for children’s musculoskeletal wellbeing.
How It Works
Your Path from Pain to Lasting Movement
Every patient at KC Rehab follows the same proven four step process, designed to uncover the root cause of your pain or restriction and build a recovery plan that actually lasts.
Consultation and Assessment
Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your history, lifestyle, and goals. We then perform a hands on movement assessment to identify the underlying mechanics behind your symptoms.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment findings, we build a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, goals, and timeline. This may combine chiropractic, physiotherapy, RMT, acupuncture, and exercise rehabilitation.
Active Treatment & Therapy
Your plan comes to life through manual therapy, targeted exercise, and the modalities best suited to your condition. Every session is monitored and adjusted based on your progress.
Ongoing Care & Prevention
Once you have recovered, we equip you with the exercises, ergonomic advice, and maintenance schedule you need to stay pain-free and continue moving well for years to come.
Why CHoose Us
How We Approach Pregnancy Related Pain
Naming the problem properly is where useful advice starts. pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic here comes from a chiropractor registered with the College of Chiropractors of Ontario, who will say what should ease and what may persist until after the birth.
The Complaint Named Properly
Pelvic girdle pain gets called a groin strain often enough that naming it correctly changes the advice you are given about stairs and walking.
Measured About What Helps
You will be told what care can reasonably ease and what tends to settle only after the birth, rather than being promised more than that.
Prompt Appointments
Space is kept for pregnancy appointments, because a complaint left for six weeks in a pregnancy is a meaningful proportion of the whole thing.
Direct Billing at the Desk
Chiropractic sits under its own extended health allowance on most plans, and the desk submits directly rather than leaving receipts with you.
RESTORE. REBUILD. RECOVER.
Whether it has been a week or a decade, you do not have to keep adjusting your life around pain. Book your initial assessment at KC Rehab today and find out what real, movement based recovery actually feels like.
Our Customer Testimonials
Frequent Asked Questions
What is pelvic girdle pain and when does it usually start?
It is pain in the joints of the pelvic ring, felt at the pubic bone, the back of the pelvis or both. It commonly appears during the second trimester, though it can begin rather earlier than that. Rolling over in bed, stairs and walking any distance are much the most usual aggravating movements.
Would regular chiropractic care help the same problem?
The profession is the same, though the techniques and positioning used in pregnancy differ considerably. Chiropractic care outside pregnancy uses standard approaches, while care during a pregnancy is gentler and it is delivered with the abdomen kept properly supported throughout.
Is the drive down McCowan manageable late in pregnancy?
Yes, McCowan Road runs almost directly to us and the trip takes only a few minutes from the Milne Dam area. Parking sits free directly outside the door at all hours. Patients from Milliken Mills join the same road a little further south of us, and the trip is equally short from there.
Can I still walk the trails with pelvic girdle pain?
Usually yes, at a shorter distance and on flatter ground than you are used to covering. Complete rest tends to leave the pelvis stiffer rather than any more comfortable overall. We set a distance you can manage without a flare, then review it as the pregnancy progresses further.
Do Armadale patients attend for pregnancy discomfort?
Yes, and pregnancy related pelvic and low back pain is a very common reason people from that area book in. Armadale sits immediately east of Middlefield and the drive in is entirely comparable from either. Our Armadale page sets out this service with the local detail for that area.
Which clinic in Markham treats pregnancy related back pain?
Can Legacy residents book pregnancy appointments here?
Yes, Legacy is a short drive south along Markham Road and evening slots are available from there. Nothing about the care or the positioning differs between those two areas at all from here. Both are seen weekly. Our Legacy page describes this service with the local detail for that neighbourhood.
How do I ask whether my hip pain is pregnancy related?
Describe where it sits and what brings it on, and we will tell you whether an assessment is worthwhile. You can contact us with how many weeks you are, where the pain is and what movements aggravate it, and you will get a straight view before booking anything. There is no cost for asking first.
