Which doctor treats pelvic obliquity?
If you suspect a pelvic obliquity, you can either consult your family doctor or contact an orthopaedic surgeon directly. The orthopaedist specialises in the human locomotor system. An orthopaedic practice or clinic usually contains the most important diagnostic equipment. If back pain and poor posture have persisted for a long time, the doctor can also clarify other important differential diagnoses. In the further course of the treatment, a long-term connection to a physiotherapeutic practice is also important, as the right muscular training is essential for a good therapeutic success.
Summary of the pelvic obliquity
The pelvis (also known as pelvis) is generally a group of three bones that form a functional unit. On the one hand, these are the two hip bones with the hip shovel and in the middle the sacrum. Together they form the so-called pelvic girdle or pelvic ring.
A pelvic obliquity can have various underlying causes. In principle, a distinction is made between structural and functional pelvic obliquity. Diagnosis is usually associated with little effort and can be carried out very gently for the patient without radiation exposure.
Depending on the cause, different therapy concepts are available, but in most cases good results can be achieved with professional application. The prognosis of a pelvic obliquity is therefore overall very good and in many cases even completely reversible with early therapy.
