Screening Sacrum
About This Test
sacrum connects the spine to the pelvis, so problems here can cause lower-back, hip, or buttock pain. The screening usually begins with observing posture. The clinician looks to see if the hips are level, if the lower back curves normally, or if one side of the pelvis appears higher or rotated.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
