How to Diagnose the Sacrum Part 1

[@nanaz8473]

I probably have watched this video 10 times and still fall in love with it continuously; appreciate your effort!!

These guys are awesome. I rewatch these videos and keep forgetting these main basic rules 1.Seated flexion test is + on the side of the dysfxn. 2. If sacral sulcus is Deep and ILA is posterior on same side, it is Flexion or Extension problem 3. If sulcus is deep on one side, it is shallow on other. If ILA is posterior on one side, it is anterior on other. 3. Sphinx and Spring Test += Extension dysfxn (which is shown by a shallow sacral sulcus) 4. Axis for torsion is on the opposite side of Seated flexion test + 5. L5 is sidebent to where the axis of sacrum is 6. Forward Torsion= Flexed Dysfxn (Right on Right or Left on Left) 7. Backward Torsion= Extension dysfxn (right on left or left on right) **remember sphinx an spring += extension dysfxn

hi Daniel I think you're the one can answer my question as I also rewatch many time, I also draw it on a paper but still Slightly confused. Since his way to quick define the dysfunction different between the Ulilateral or Torsion 2:10. Here is my understanding : first, the SS ILA in same side= flex/Ext lesion. second, SS is determined by Deep while ILA determined by Shallow. My confusion part is from his example 2:10 until 4:25 seem using the above memory approach , but turns out start from 4:50 changed.

one of the best videos to diagnose sacral dysfunction. As MD in an osteopathic program, this video has helped a lot through my in service exams.Thank you!!!

[@victorias2982]

absolutely wonderful! Quick and precise. Hoping to see more videos about OMM in the coming months!

the last time i was this confused is when I took calculus

Congratulations. Some of my current students found your sacral diagnosis videos and felt that they were very helpful. Well done!

Hello Eva. I hope you're doing good. Noticed here that ur a DO. Could you please let me know if it is easier to fix a Right unilateral sacral Flexion or a L on L sacral torsion? In both the cases, the right side is anterior/deeper, correct? Thank you for considering.

[@evashaydo3280]

@@longce-imingti9014 Hi. In both cases the right sacral sulcus is deep/anterior, but in the case of the right unilateral sacral flexion, the right ILA is inferior and posterior, vs. deep with a L/L sacral torsion. Personally, I find the unilateral sacral shears much simpler to fix, if you are using the Mitchell Model of treatment.

@@evashaydo3280 I am having a right deeper sulcus and my right innominate too is affected as the right PSIS clearly is deeper and has slightly shifted anterior along with the right SIJ as mentioned. This happened because of an accident where a slow thrust was experienced in my posterior sacrum while i was lying prone. This thrust has slightly shifted my right SIJ (right side sacrum+ right innominate) slightly anterior/deeper. This was the primary point of the injury incident and then the lumbar later had to compensate with regards to the abnormal new position of the sacrum and the right innominate. Do you feel this mechanical malalignment issue of the right SI and the right innominate be brought back to its original position and reverse the mechanical issue completely by an osteopath with great experience in OMM/OMT? Hoping you will please let me know as i am looking for a hands on treatment that would reverse this mechanical malalignment issue and gift me back to how i was prior to my injury. Will deeply appreciate your honest opinion on my query. Thank you and have a good day

@@longce-imingti9014 I am so sorry that you are having problems. I would recommend that you consult a DO in your community for an evaluation and possible treatment, as it would not be legal for me to give medical advice in this format.

Thank u :)

It would be better if you didn't switch up the lettes in the video, for example writing L for left on the bottom and in the next example wriitng P for posterior on the bottom even though it was also on the left.

Amazing cuticles. Who does your manis?

[@MrKanna1]

How can we relate these examples on patients. Can we get a real time data with patients?

[@habib080]

is it me or does this person sound like the guy from "Dirty Medicine (USMLE)" ???

He's the same person.

[@wealthgoddess]

according 2:13 to quick define which dysfunction type between Ulilateral or Torsion. He tells the easy way said if SS ILA were the same side then it is a Uliateral type.(using SS is deep, ILA is Shallow to findings) , The confusion part to me is, from 5:21 example demonstrated SS ILA were the opposite side.(SS shallow Right means deep on Left, ) so it is not the same as 2:13. Why it still finally became Uliateral dysfunction instead of Torsion dysfunction ? Does anyone can enlighten me please
