Lisa, thanks for writing.
I must say... I've never once heard of an orthopedic surgeon completely cutting the psoas tendon for palliative measures. Was this his first recommendation, or a "last ditch effort" ?? Are there any structural abnormalities on one side that would preclude other options?
Your instinct is correct that severing a tendon on one side, such as the psoas, can cause a mechanical imbalance, thus distorting natural movement. When this is the case, the body will attempt to adapt to the situation on its own the best way it can... unfortunately, it sounds as if this adaptation is causing you great discomfort.
Honestly, chiropractic care will not be able to reattach the tendon, but it will focus on restoring balance to the spine and pelvis. This may reduce the pain and discomfort that you're feeling... but I can't say anything will ever make you100% again. So I think it's definitely worth a try.
The body needs all of its parts... we weren't born with extras!

At first the surgery was aimed toward lengthening the tendon because it would snap across my pelvis. Apparently it was a lot tighter and too short for that to be enough, so it was "released". The snapping caused a lot of the tissues to become fiberous, and about a year of phyical therapy did not lengthen it. I used to be an avid runner so running made things very painful.
I guess I will give it a shot, can't hurt but to try!!
Thank you,
Lisa
