Symptoms of Posterior Pelvic Tilt

The symptom of posterior pelvic tilt mainly occurs in pregnant women. As the weight of the fetus increases and the pregnancy period increases, the pregnant woman will experience posterior pelvic tilt. Therefore, when the center of gravity of the body tilts backward, we must avoid leaning forward, otherwise it will cause hunchback. Posterior pelvic tilt can cause excessive pressure on the lumbar spine, as well as headaches, shoulder and neck pain. It can relieve the pain caused by posterior pelvic tilt in a timely manner.

Symptoms of posterior pelvic tilt

Generally speaking, people with posterior pelvic tilt have flat and drooping buttocks, and the body's center of gravity tends to move backwards. In order to balance the body's center of gravity, the spine moves forward, thus forming a "hunchback", a narrow chest, and thighs pushed forward, forming an open obtuse angle at the back of the knee pit (where the upper and lower legs are connected).

What are the dangers of posterior pelvic tilt?

1. It causes excessive pressure on the lumbar spine and causes lower back pain and soreness. People with a posterior pelvic tilt usually have a straighter curvature of the lumbar spine than normal people, which makes the force on the waist more direct, easily increasing the pressure on the intervertebral disc and causing the waist muscles to become more tense. Therefore, lower back pain and soreness is a significant manifestation of "pelvic tilt".

2. People with posterior pelvic tilt often suffer from headaches and shoulder and neck pain. In addition, the curvature of the thoracic spine will also be affected, and the upper part of the thoracic spine close to the lumbar spine will be straighter. The shoulder blades are more prominent, which can easily cause shoulder and neck pain. Such people usually have a particularly forward-leaning neck and may even have headaches.

3. The buttocks are sagging and the chest is hunched, and the body lacks vitality. People with posterior pelvic tilt may look listless when they walk, because they tend to have a splayed gait. Posterior pelvic tilt will cause the body's curvature to be different from that of normal people, resulting in a "hunchback".

4. It is not good for the female reproductive system. Pelvic displacement, whether "posterior tilt" or "anterior tilt", will affect the normal function of some organ systems of the human body. Lumbar deformation will compress the reproductive system and damage the health of the reproductive system. In particular, symptoms such as dysmenorrhea in women are related to posterior pelvic tilt.

How to distinguish anterior and posterior pelvic tilt?

Both anterior and posterior pelvic tilt are abnormalities. When distinguishing them, you must pay attention to the anterior superior hip spine of the pelvis, and pay attention to this area and the pubic bone. If the two are not aligned, this will be very obvious. It is easy to distinguish whether the pelvis is tilted forward or backward from the woman's standing posture. If a woman stands with her entire hips tilted backwards, this is anterior pelvic tilt.

If the pelvis is tilted backward, when a woman stands, her entire hips will look flatter and her body will not look very upright. In this case, it is a posterior tilt of the pelvis. The forward tilt or backward tilt of the pelvis has a great impact on women's health. Because the pelvis can support the weight of women and protect the internal organs inside the pelvis.

Once the pelvis is found to be tilted forward or backward, it will have a certain impact on women's health, and will also affect pregnancy and childbirth. Therefore, once abnormal symptoms of the pelvis are found, timely treatment is needed. This will be helpful to women's health and will not affect their lives and work.
