What Could Tilted Sacrum With Back Pain Suggest?

I have been told that I have a tilted sacrum and I am experiencing hip knee and back pain. The chiropractor told me one leg is longer than the other that is why I have pain. My left leg and hip are weak and I fell today because of it. Where should I go to get answers?

Hello

I have studied your case.

Limb length discrepancy is common joint pathologies.

You will need further investigation like scanogram x ray and SOS MRI hip.
Limb length discrepancy can lead to back pain or vice versa.
You can use a shoe raise on left side, if discrepancy is up to 2cm it will get corrected by it.
If still pain remains persistent then you need to investigate for cause of pain.
Till time take analgesic and calcium with vit D supplement.

For sacrum/ spine scoliosis you may need X ray spine and physiotherapy exercises.
You can consult orthopaedic doctor and also you can reports to me.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
