What Should You Do if You have Low Back Pain and a Tilted Pelvis?

If you notice that your back is crooked or one leg seems longer than the other, you might want to consult with a chiropractic physician to determine if you have a tilted pelvis. If you would like to save some money and do a home check, ask your spouse or a friend to compare the length of your legs while lying on your back and then in a seated position. If the leg lengths change you might have a tilted pelvis. Should you consider spinal manipulation, investigate the qualifications of the provider. I suggest that you seek out a chiropractic physician or an osteopathic physician licensed to practice manual medicine in your state. It is most beneficial to have a physical examination, which includes a postural evaluation and specific testing to determine if you are in need of spinal manipulation and a comprehensive but conservative treatment program to resolve your low back pain and tilted pelvis.
