Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
I am sorry to hear about your child's difficulty. Pelvic tilt if noticed in xray is something which cannot be brushed off. Your child especially has problem in walking. So if I were your doctor, I would do a complete neurological examination of your child to see if any deficits persists and get a pediatric neurologist opinion for the same. Tilt can be due to some neurological problem on that side. Hope your child a good health. Take care.
