A member asked:

Is tilted pelvis due to a sciatica temporary or permanent condition?

Depends: Sciatica is the general term used to describe pain that goes down your leg. In reality anything from spinal disc, hip joint, spinal joints, muscles, knees and finally nerve compression can cause this. If the pain is causing you to walk differently then the pelvic tilt is temporary. Actual pelvic tilt is not caused by sciatica as sciatica is just a name given to a distribution of pain.

Lots of Reasons: There are so many things going on. Your ligaments can stretch quite a bit especially in the pelvis resulting in pain. Also the pelvis position can place stress on your spine resulting in bulging discs or even herniated disks causing the sciatica pain. Recommend seeing a pelvic floor specialized therapist that can guide you through this. Also recommend seeing a spine specialist.
