How to correct greater trochanter protrusion

Today’s white-collar workers who sit in offices for long periods of time will find that they feel uncomfortable if they don’t cross their legs when sitting. When resting at home, they like to sit cross-legged, and may even take a three-seven step when standing. These are not issues of poor posture. Poor posture will cause the pelvis to bulge out, and the "greater trochanter" of the buttocks will also protrude, which will cause various diseases in the long run. This article introduces the specific symptoms in detail, let’s take a look.

If the protrusion of the greater trochanter is physiological, you don't need to worry about it. If it is pathological, it can be corrected through orthopedic surgery. It depends on the specific situation. You can first do an imaging examination to evaluate it.

In this case, you should go to the hospital's orthopedic department for a detailed examination. At least an x-ray should be done first. As to whether it can be corrected, it depends on the severity of the disease. How can we judge that there is no external force around the pelvis when standing? Then we can adjust the pelvis more accurately and flexibly. At this time, the pelvis is like a suspended basin. It can be adjusted in all directions with minimal resistance. The bilateral femurs can also be adjusted in the standing position, and it is more directly helpful for correcting pelvic rotation.

The overall rotation of the pelvis is one of the main causes of spinal scoliosis, so after correcting the pelvic rotation, the spinal scoliosis can be corrected and improved immediately. Rotating the pelvis left and right can significantly affect the rotation state of the spine. Adjusting the forward and backward positions can significantly affect the curvature and extension of the spine. Correcting the lateral tilt of the pelvis can significantly reduce or even eliminate the scoliosis of the lumbar spine. The overall downward movement of the pelvis can significantly increase the intervertebral space and reduce the intervertebral pressure.

At the same time, because the muscles and fascia of the waist and back are attached to the pelvic spine, after the pelvic state is adjusted to normal, as the position of the thoracic and lumbar spine is restored, the muscles and fascia of the waist and back will be immediately loosened to a large extent. The pelvis-holding method is not only a technique for adjusting the pelvis, but also a fundamental method for correcting the spine and its related soft tissues.

The basis and prerequisite for adjustment of the pelvic support method is the good position of the bilateral femurs. Specifically, the positions of the greater trochanters of both femurs are in good and symmetrical condition, so before performing the pelvic lifting method, you must first start with the inspection and adjustment of both femurs.
