Settling
Dislocation of the pelvis is possible if the pelvic obliquity is caused by mechanical blockages. This is the case when, for example, individual vertebrae are displaced from their natural position, resulting in a blockage and restricted movement. Specially trained physiotherapists or chiropractors can then actively bring the vertebra back into the correct position with targeted movements.
The muscles tensed by the blockage should then be loosened with heat applications, massages and gentle stretching exercises and returned to their natural function. Many people make the mistake of falling back into old patterns of movement after the successful adjustment and not to treat the weak point any further, which can easily end up in a new blockage. It is therefore very important to train, stretch and stabilize the muscles even after the correcting of the dislocation, so that problems can be actively prevented. Settling is generally useful if the blockage does not resolve itself within a few days, the pain is extremely severe or the blockage impairs the function of other structures, especially nerves.

How is pelvic obliquity compensated?
To compensate for an existing pelvic obliquity, there are different possibilities depending on the cause of the pelvic obliquity:
- If the misalignment is caused by a displacement of the atlas, it can help to correct the position of the atlas.
- If this does not lead to the desired success, the problem may be a malpositioned jaw.
- If the pelvic obliquity is caused by blockages in the spine, muscular deficits or tension, a physiotherapist can try to compensate for the malposition by manipulation, massages or certain exercises.
- If the pelvic obliquity is due to a difference in leg length, custom-made insoles can provide relief and compensate for the pelvic obliquity. For this purpose, a special shoe inlay is made for the patient, which increases the position of the shorter leg, thus compensating the leg length difference.
