I have a posteriorly rotated pelvis and I have severe pain. Physical therapy isn't helping. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Make sure your physical therapist is exhausting all possible treatment options.

What you need to find out is why your pelvis is rotated. Does your PT correct the rotation but it returns by the next visit? Look at your activities of daily living. Do you always stand on one foot? That can cause a posterior rotation. Try to stand evenly on both feet. When you load to dishwasher/clothing washer, are you doing extraneous twisting as you do so? When you are working, do you twist to get to a file cabinet? You should work on your body mechanics to insure nothing you do on a normal basis is contributing.

Also, the posterior rotation may be due to another postural anomaly. Do you have one leg that is longer than the other (your PT can check this)? Is your spine in good alignment? Your PT should have observed if you have a increased/decreased lumbar lordosis or scoliosis.

Finally, do you have a muscle imbalance? You should be strengthening your core abdominal and back muscles to stop the rotation from reoccurring.

Answer 2

Yes sometimes we get really bad pain. It is caused by the eggs being pushed out of the ovaries and also when we have a period our bodies produce a hormone called prostoglandin which is a hormone released into the body during labour. try warm showers heat packs and lying flat.

I would stop consuming all wheat and dairy products. I would consider using bromelain, tumeric, noni, and a good multivitamin (not something like centrum: www.centrumistoxic.com).
