Problems caused by pelvic obliquity

A permanent pelvic misalignment can have a variety of effects on the body. Here are some of the most important:

• Back problems:
  One of the most common effects of pelvic misalignment is back pain, particularly in the lower back. The imbalance can lead to muscle tension and cramps.

• Hip pain:
  A misaligned pelvis can distribute the load on the hip joints unevenly, which can lead to pain and long-term joint problems.

• Knee pain:
  The misalignment of the pelvis can lead to uneven loading of the knee joints, which can cause pain and signs of wear and tear.

• Foot problems:
  Pelvic misalignment can also affect the biomechanics of the feet, which can lead to pain and problems such as plantar fasciitis or heel spurs.

 

• Scoliosis:
  Long-term pelvic obliquity can lead to a lateral curvature of the spine, also known as scoliosis.

• Gait disorders:
  A misalignment of the pelvis can affect the gait pattern, which can lead to an uneven gait and other problems in the legs and feet.

• Tension and muscle imbalances:
  The imbalance can lead to chronic muscle tension and muscle imbalances as certain muscles are constantly overused while others are underused

• Pelvic floor problems:
  Pelvic misalignment can put strain on the pelvic floor and contribute to problems such as incontinence or other pelvic floor disorders.

• Headaches and neck pain:
  Headaches and neck pain can also occur due to the change in posture and the associated muscle tension.
  

  
  

• Restricted mobility:
  Long-term misalignments can restrict the mobility of the affected joints and impair general mobility.
  

• Lower jaw
  As a result of scoliosis, the lower jaw also sits at an angle to the upper jaw. This can lead to dental problems.

• Acidosis
  Poor’ posture restricts the mobility of the lungs. Deep abdominal breathing is not possible. The restricted CO2 exchange leads to acidosis of the body.

• It is important to recognize and treat pelvic obliquity at an early stage.
