International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code describes a condition where the joints, muscles, and other structures in the pelvic region are not functioning properly together. This can cause problems with movement, alignment, and coordination in the pelvis area. The dysfunction may involve restrictions in joint movement, muscle imbalances, or problems with how different parts of the pelvic region work together. Patients may experience pain, stiffness, or difficulty with certain movements.
Additional Information
This is primarily used in osteopathic medicine to describe mechanical dysfunction of the pelvic region. Treatment typically focuses on restoring normal function through manual therapy and exercises.
