Can Reducing Pelvic Tilt Angle Reduce Back Pain?

In this case study, a 56-year-old woman with severe lower back pain and excessive lumbar lordosis performed an exercise three times a day aimed at reducing the angle of her pelvis in relation to her spine. After two weeks, her anterior pelvic tilt angle had decreased, resulting in a 50% reduction in her lower back pain. When examining a patient, doctors of chiropractic look at the whole patient, as many times factors outside the immediate area of complaint—like their pelvic tilt angle—may contribute to the patient’s pain and disability.
