Comparison of the effects of a single acupuncture treatment on pelvic anterior tilt.
Hazards of Anterior Pelvic Tilt
💡 Imbalance in Body Proportions
The pelvis, spine, thigh bones, and even the occipital bone at the back of the head are interconnected. If the pelvis becomes deformed, other bones will also be affected, leading to distortions that hinder proper movement, which may result in a shorter stature. Pelvic deformation can place stress on the hip joints, causing joint distortion and worsening bow-legged or knock-knee posture.
💡 Lower Body Obesity
Pelvic deformity can cause the internal organs to sag, leading to a protruding abdomen, wider hips, and sagging buttocks, which disrupt the body’s natural curves. Additionally, due to the pelvic tilt, the body becomes imbalanced, restricting movement and leading to muscle atrophy. Since muscles are the primary site for burning fat, reduced muscle strength leads to fat accumulation.
💡 Constipation, Menstrual Pain, and Discomfort
The pelvis supports the abdominal organs and plays a key role in protecting the internal and reproductive organs. Pelvic deformity affects the organs within the pelvic cavity, such as the uterus, ovaries, and intestines, distorting their natural alignment and blocking the flow of bodily fluids, potentially impairing their function. For example, bowel motility may decrease.
💡 Shoulder and Neck Tension, Back Pain
An incomplete pelvic closure pulls the muscles around the lower back, causing them to stretch sideways, which can compress nerves and lead to lower back pain. Additionally, muscle stiffness in the back, extending up to the shoulders, can impair blood circulation, resulting in shoulder pain.
💡 Chronic Fatigue and Sensitivity to Cold
When the pelvis tilts, blood vessels are compressed, leading to poor circulation. Additionally, muscles that would normally generate heat due to their activity are stretched due to skeletal deformities, causing the muscles to tense in an attempt to return to their original state. This leads to chronic fatigue. As muscles tighten and become stiff, blood and lymph circulation becomes sluggish, causing the body to feel cold, and the sensitivity to cold worsens.
骨盆前倾是指骨盆的前方倾斜，通常由不良的姿势、运动习惯、肌肉不平衡等因素引起。这种情况可能导致一系列健康问题，以下是骨盆前倾的常见危害：
- 人体比例失衡：骨盆与脊柱、大腿骨及其他骨骼相互连接。如果骨盆发生前倾，其他部位的骨骼会受到牵引，导致身体的比例失调，可能造成身高变矮、骨骼畸形等问题。
- 下半身肥胖：骨盆前倾会影响内脏的正常位置，可能导致小腹凸起、臀部扩展或下垂，从而破坏身体的曲线。此外，骨盆倾斜可能限制了身体的运动，导致肌肉衰退，进而影响脂肪的燃烧，增加下半身的脂肪堆积。
- 便秘、痛经等问题：骨盆支持着腹部和生殖器官，骨盆的变形可能影响盆腔内器官的位置与功能，导致排便困难、便秘、痛经等不适症状。骨盆倾斜会压迫和扭曲子宫、卵巢等器官，影响体液流动和器官的正常功能。
- 肩颈酸胀、腰背痛：骨盆前倾会导致腰部周围肌肉的过度拉伸和不平衡，进而引起腰痛和肩颈疼痛。肌肉僵硬或不适可能压迫神经，影响血液循环，导致肩膀疼痛和紧张感。
- 慢性疲劳、体寒：骨盆倾斜会压迫血管，导致血液循环不畅，造成慢性疲劳。同时，肌肉紧张和僵硬会影响体温调节，使身体感到寒冷，尤其是在寒冷的环境中，症状会加重。
通过矫正骨盆前倾，改善姿势、加强核心肌群锻炼、缓解紧张的肌肉等方法，可以有效减轻这些危害，恢复身体的正常功能。
