Hazards of Anterior Pelvic Tilt
Disease description:
My child is now 17 years old. When she walks, I always notice a noticeable anterior protrusion in her lower abdomen—she seems different from others. After searching online, I found this might be due to anterior pelvic tilt. Could you please explain the potential health risks associated with anterior pelvic tilt?

Hello, anterior pelvic tilt can increase the lumbar lordosis and concentrate mechanical stress on the lower back, potentially leading to chronic low back pain. It also disrupts the force distribution throughout the entire spine, possibly causing neck and shoulder muscle fatigue and associated pain. Additionally, it alters lower-limb alignment, resulting in pain around the hip, knee, and ankle joints. Treatment involves correcting poor daily postures and strengthening the gluteal muscles to improve anterior pelvic tilt. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
