Best Way To Wear Sacroiliac Belt for SI Joint Pain Relief

[@songbirde.7196]

After a really terrible car accident in 2018 I've had horrible hip, leg, and lower back pain. My Drs at the VA gave me a Serola SI belt but I was wearing it wrong this entire time. I was wearing it too high and it didn't provide me any relief at all. After watching this video I found my belt and put it on correctly for the first time and it's been such a relief!! Thank you so much for this video. I hope that others who have similar issues find it and get the relief they need as well.

[@johnsee7269]

Amazing that one can get expert advice like this for free. I'm impressed to say the least. Thank you Doctor!

[@PositiveMotionChiro]

I'm glad that my video helped you understand how to wear the Serola SI belt in the right location. I see that a lot where people are wearing it too high and then it will not have its desired effect. Thank you for sharing your experience and I'm glad you found relief!

[@JB-nr8fu]

I’ve had instability for decades and chiropractor/PT/doctors have not helped. I now have a great new chiropractor who is helping and listening. I’m ordering one of those belts today. Thx! Love your videos and presentations.

[@sheilasmith1109]

Many of these belts are very thin and ride up, making it ineffective! This Serola brand is wider and so much more effective in staying in place! Great advice, Dr P!❤️😎💕🙏

[@natural-born_pilot]

I totally understand and could write a few volumes on how terrible I’ve been handled by VA doctors. Folks who haven’t been cared for by VA doctors don’t have a clue and that’s expected plus a good thing. Glad your dialed in the correct way.

[@ahmedmdkhali]

I used a sacroiliac joint belt two months ago. I was suffering from excruciating pain, and now I feel 70% better. I have returned to some physical activities that I stopped two years ago. Thank you to the doctor. This is a message from God.

[@aubreybaker8228]

Thanks for the video! I've been working with a physical therapist for SI Joint pain and today she recommended that I get one of these belts. I had some questions around them, and this addressed every question and concern I had! I almost feel like I'm going to need 2 (so I can have them dry out in between swimming or scuba diving!). I hadn't thought about wearing them in the water, so I'm glad you referenced that.

[@Cqntemplate]

I’ve had SI joint pain for nearly two decades now. I never even knew what “normal” felt like for everyone else until I tried the brace and had some chiropractic treatments done for a couple months now and I cannot understate how much better I feel now. Thank you so much for even bringing this to my attention through your channel!

[@palomadelprado9369]

I am literally in TEARS! I've been suffering with back pain for over 10 years. I went to multiple chiropractors, acupuncturist, doctors and nothing truly alleviated the pain as much as this belt has. THANK YOUUUUUU SOOOO MUCH for bringing some sense of normalcy back into my life!! I am so grateful to have found your channel! I wish I lived in Northern California to come visit you. If you know of any good ones that specialize in this in San Diego PLEASE let me know. I feel like a whole new woman! I just turned 30 this year and I was so sad thinking I would never live a normal pain free life! Thank you soooo much again! Blessings! 😭💗🥹🙏

It makes me so happy that the belt has helped you so much. Thank you for sharing your success. I would look up sports chiropractor on this website www.acbsp.com I usually have better luck finding a chiropractor when I am on the road or have a traveling patient when I look for the speciality of sports chiropractor. They have gone through additional training, sit a national board exam and do additional continuing education every year. I hope that helps. 🙏🏼

I also had SI joint pain (piriformes pain) for more than 20 years. I tried everything chiro, acupuncture, massage, cryology, compression, tape, on and on. I was even diagnosed with a herniated disc by a radiologist from MRI. Ten years later at Johns Hopkins showed the old MRI and had a new MRI and was told I didn’t have a herniated disc then and still do not now. They prescribed 3 months of PT. In less than 3 months the chronic pain went away and never came back. However, later the other hip hurt which I’m dealing with now. These videos have connected all the dots after all these years. I was doing a lot of lunges with a personal trainer but I’m going to refer my trainer to these videos and quit doing lunges. I also plan to get orthotics, the SI belt and do the exercises. Thank you so much for great explanations and information.

Had horrible problems with my hips and lower back for more than a year from a sports accident. SI joint and labrum tear, problems getting worse and as soon as I done any phsyio therapy it just got worse, in a bad circle how to recover meaningfully. Had so bad pains just by walking a bit, could barely function daily. This belt is such a relief to meaningfully execute rehab training again and get going with life. Thanks!

[@Brandi-k6k]

I’ve been working with PTs and chiropractors for over 5 years for lower back pain and plantar fasciitis in both feet. I finally found a PT who approaches treatments in multiple ways, and my plantar fasciitis is now completely gone. I’m so thankful! But I still have low-right back/hip pain, and she thinks it’s related to the SI joint. Of course, I’m looking for info about SI joints now… Since watching your videos, I can tell she’s right! I was surprised to learn that the deep stretches I’ve been doing may be making things worse. Yikes! My exercises would make my pain worse, but I thought it was because I needed more stretching! I think I may actually have been shearing! Thank you for pointing this out! According to your video, I must have flexible ligaments. I can almost touch my thumb to my arm, like you described. I was surprised to learn this, because my leg muscles are very tight, especially my calf muscles, and they always have been (at least since my teens). I cannot lift my leg while keeping it straight when I’m in a supine position. My question… It seems I should do stretches to help loosen my leg muscles. But maybe stretches are adding to my SI problems because the ligaments are getting injured? Should I wear the SI belt and avoid stretches (only walk every day) until my SI pain is gone? Then when my SI seems healed, move to leg stretches? Or, should I get my leg muscles loosened up and then use the SI belt to help heal my ligaments? Thank you for your informative videos!!

So, I watched your video a couple of months ago after doing some research into my low back pain problem. I was pretty sure my pain was coming from my SI joint but I didn't want to go out and buy an SI belt until I knew for sure. A generous person from a local freecycle group gave me her old SI belt. I felt instant relief when I put it on. I wore it until I could order myself a new one and now I'm going to pass this one on to someone else. I wear mine to bed every night and there is no more problem with pain waking me up. I'll probably have to wear it for a long time. I'm pretty sure I pulled it during one of my P90X yoga stretch sessions. I've switched to different exercises since then. You explain everything so well and your manner is very calming.

Doc your “WOW” is spot on. I’ve been suffering from Sac instability for several years and never diagnosed correctly till now. I have to be honest I’ve tried several of the many simple gimmicks out there and became completely discouraged. I accidentally came upon your video while searching for something else lucky for me. However after watching it your honesty about the chiropractic quick relief and how it may not be a good thing for this type pain along with your excellent explanation of the anatomy according to this condition motivated me to at least check it out. I really didn’t want a repeat of purchasing something that didn’t work but had an idea come upon me. Taking a closer look at that belt I noticed it to be made almost identical to what’s called a ‘Belly Band Holster’ which is basically the same type belt with a holster sewed into it . I’ve found this holster to be an ideal way to conceal carry and have used it for years. I took the Velcro belt and put it on as you instructed and yes “WOW” I couldn’t believe the immediate effect it had on me in relieving a major portion of that pain. I immediately ordered a Sacroiliac Belt and wore my Belly Holster belt during the few days it took for my Sac belt to arrive. I can’t thank you enough Dr. Petersen for this video and your professional advice. The crazy thing here is all those years dealing with that pain at the same time wearing a belly band holster belt that could have provided me with the relief I’ve been craving. I can only laugh at myself but it makes for a good story during social hour.

Thank you for your good advice. I’ve had SI joint pain for many years and would love to really heal from it. A year or two ago I bought an SI joint belt and was amazed at how much relief it gave me. I was trying to slowly wean myself off the SI belt because I thought it could cause the muscles to atrophy. The joint pain was getting less but it was still there. Last week I tried some exercises from the internet from a very good spine doctor, but I must have done something wrong because I’ve been in a lot of pain again ever since. My SI joint pain I believe comes from pregnancy and a loosing of the ligaments. That was 40 years ago. I also have high arches and now, likely related to the SI issues, peroneal tendinitis on the right leg. No, I haven’t found the right type of doctor where I live. I’m 68 years old.

[@trilbyarnold3341]

4 1/2 months after falling fracturing the femoral neck and having a semi hip replacement on the left hip my left and infrequently my right SI joint hurt as did my lower back about 3 inches higher. Many of the exercises and stretches assigned me by my physical therapist would also cause this pain and I still walked with a slight hip drop to the left. With my latest evaluation I was put in a Serola SI belt, instant relief and much improved walking. My PT now believes that when I fell I may have injured additional areas that don't show on an xray. Because I initially had postural limitations for 2 months tendons and muscles tightened and shortened but apparently the ligaments around the SI actually loosened. I also have a pronating right ankle that I hope to correct. I think my exercises are going to now better help my range of motion and flexion in my hip as I wear the belt.

I suffered a dislocated hip joint from yoga decades ago, and I have just learned more from Dr. Brant and this particular video than I have from the half a dozen chiropractors I have had over the years. All helped me to some degree, but Dr. Brant just offered me some new tools that I know will be helpful. I do have a SI belt, but I have been wearing it incorrectly (too low), and I do wake with a lot of lower back pain, often waking during the night from the pain so I am eager to try wearing the belt at night. I am so impressed with the information provided, truly in awe, and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you!!!!

[@PositiveMotionChiro]

Thank you for your comments Tonja! They make me smile. I am so glad you learned from my video and I hope it helps you feel better. It is because of comments like yours I work on my videos. Take care.

I had a hard fall 2 months ago. I developed severe SI pain for 2 months now. I've been going to therapy now for 4 weeks had an SI injection with no pain relief. I stumbled upon your SI video and purchased an SI belt. I can't thank you enough for your guidance and suggestions. I have gotten immediate relief with the level of pain I'm dealing with. I can't wait to wear it to bed and not wake up with nauseating pain 🙏. I also just started with a chiropractor and hopefully will be pain free soon.

I hadn't even ever heard of SI joint pain before until recently when nothing else was making any sense. I now know the main cause too but, that's not going to be easy to change quickly. This belt will surely help with the pain. If only it could be worn when surfing but I doubt so as it will ride up when sitting on the board in the water. The cause of my pain started over time after my 2 hip replacements. After missing a year of surfing I couldn't pop up fast like before so I developed a method of dragging my back inside leg/foot into the face of the wave to slow me down. Sometimes severely in fast steep waves. I had no idea I was stressing this joint and always thought it was back pain. The aha moment came one session while dragging my foot I felt the tearing pain. Now I can't even transition from sitting to paddling my board without aggravating this joint so bad that I have to go in. The good is I now have a 99% idea of what's causing it. The bad is it will take a long time to remedy it. Thanks for the great video.

[@whyjordie]

Omg so I just ordered a belt after having been dealing with this pain for 13 years nonstop - I have difficulty sitting for long periods of time, especially driving, but also a constant need to stretch when walking , the SI pain radiates down my leg from it and is extremely painful, I hope this helps!! Also , I gasped when you said hyperextended knees because I have them too. I had no idea that might be related with my leg issue! My chiropractor told it could have something to do with my right leg ( my bad side) is shorter than my other leg.

[@PennyGilmore]

Thank you for this video. You explain everything so clearly and concisely without 'talking down' to your viewers. I have been suffering with SIJ dysfunction for months, going to PT and doing the exercises with no real relief. It started after knee surgery and was exacerbated by my mild scoliosis and having one leg shorter that the other. I have ordered an SI belt and look forward to achieving some relief. Thanks again.

[@thomasrogers5152]

Thanks for the video doc! I feel like im pretty lucky i have only had this condition that i know of for about a month. I assumed i had a herniated disc because my Dad and Grandpa both have had them in the past. But i didnt feel extreme pain when i did the straight leg test. Also my other leg was starting to hurt but not to the extent that the one was hurting. I did have sciatica though im assuming from piriformus syndrome. I ended up stymbling on to a web site that talked about Si joint pain and i thought it sounded like what i had so i started watching your videos to learn more about it, thats when i decided i needed a belt. I ordered one from Amazon but it took 3 days to get here. In the mean time i made a makeshift trochanteric belt using a shirt for padding. It was great. The first night laying down i was pain free after wearing it all day. It was even better once i got the real belt. Its been about 8 days and i feel pretty good. The first time i ever had low back pain was around 2012 and every so often my back "goes out". Could this have been the problem the whole time?

[@escapingbabylon8730]

I was diagnosed after MRI with 3 bulged discs and 2 herniations . so I concentrated on that. But it was because of LPHC instability. Your videos helped me so much diagnose myself. Gosh most Dr's...really don't care but thank you for this free session. 👍

[@PositiveMotionChiro]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad you are working with someone who has brought your attention to LPHC and its importance. I hope you are able to heal your disc issues in short order and get back to feeling awesome. Take care!

[@motoxchris6436]

Where was your herniated or bulging disc located ? Did you have sciatica pain ?I've also been diagnosed with herniated disc s1,l5,l4 .was recommended surgery but I've never had back pain and always had pain in my left side from the hip down my leg . Been dealing with pain in the hips for a long time and that's what I went in for in the first place .I tried the belt and instantly felt a lot of relief .

[@SuzieJRN]

OMGoodness thank you!! I've had severe pain in the region of the SI joint after L4-L5 fusion. I started wearing this belt but wasn't sure if I was doing it right. Very informative! It has helped the pain since I've been wearing it, I pray that this heals! The surgery was rough enough!

[@anilkumarn1433]

This is a great video. Thank you I have this pain exactly at the mentioned areas but it comes and goes. When it comes, it will stay for 3 to 4 days. I have met many doctors but no one has diagnosed it properly. When l have this pain, I cannot even stand straight

[@mollycox8039]

I had Covid earlier this year. Luckily it wasn't a severe case, but I was too tired to do much. I got up to do a couple of chores and then had to go back and rest. One day I suddenly felt like I was much better and I started to do a few things. I bent over to pick something up and felt and instant and horrible clunk in my lower back. A steroid shot helped right away but I don't want to rely on them so I made sure that I was diagnosed correctly and that it wasn't a disk issue. I found out that I had injured my SI joint. Big lesson...if you have been inactive for a week or two...be super careful with yourself...don't jump right back into moving like you did before. All that inactivity made me stiff and I injured myself in a big way by doing too much too soon. Move carefully and slowly after many days of inactivity. I have an SI belt on right now and it really really helps. Loved this video. It gave me even more information. God bless you all and I pray for the healing of your backs.

Thank you for the video, so clearly explained. My SI problems came on gradually, maybe caused by hoisting my elderly Greyhound into the back of the car, and I have been going to a chiropractor. However, the pain got worse with that treatment and has been causing disturbed nights. I have recently bought an SI Belt after watching your video (and a few others also!) and now realise that maybe I've had it on too tight as it hurt more with it on when I walked than without it. However I did sleep better last night (without the belt on) so maybe it is helping! I will try sleeping with the belt on tonight and hope for the best!

I had pain in that region for many years. I did physical therapy for it but the relief was only temporary and sometimes after I did stretch a lot the pain came on strong in the next few days. I kept doing those exercises before there were brief periods of relief but I stumbled upon videos like this and rethought the process. I got a belt and wore it during the waking hours and at first it brought on some pain...slowly though after days the pain dropped off and it started to feel a lot better. I did only a tiny bit of minor stretching in that time but now I am starting to feel like I can get back into more strengthening exercises and kick this to the curb for good.

[@txslv]

TLDR; this single video has helped me more than 6 years of US military healthcare. Thank you for this video. I am so glad i watched this video i’m actually about to cry. I joined the Marine Corps in 2016 and my back and hip pain started in boot camp, and they just attributed it to me being a small statured woman (I was 17 years old and 5’4”). My back pain continued through physical therapy, daily exercise, dry needling, hot cupping, gun massages, scraper massages, muscle relaxers, cortisol injections, and then in 2018 i got MRIs done and they found i had a healed tear in my labrum, trochanteric bursitis, bilateral hip impingements, scoliosis, and near-bulging discs in my lumbar. They diagnosed me with SI instability and arthritis, and prescribed me a Bauerfeind Sacroloc brace, but told me not to wear it for more than 3 hours a day because it would weaken my muscles. Eventually I was medically retired in 2020 because my pain wouldn’t go away even though I wore the brace like they told me, and continued physical therapy. The VA hasn’t been much help and won’t take me seriously because “every veteran has back pain, and every female veteran has hip pain” but I’m not even 24. My elbows, and knees especially, hyperextend how you mentioned and it blows my mind how a doctor on KZbin has helped me more than conservative Naval medicine. Finding out I’m allowed to wear my brace all day from you has been the greatest help (even though I just started wearing it again yesterday) and I can’t thank you enough.

Please guide as many Orthopaedic doctors for such pain and treatment.

Not only did it feel better walking, my right hip pain decreased to just 4-5/10 and my low back pain decreased to 3/10. I was surprised at how quickly my low back pain flared if I forgot to put the strap back on after getting dressed. Can't wait to see how well an actual SI brace works for me!

Greetings Dr Pedersen. You are a calming force unlike anything I have seen on you tube. I have looked several times at this presentation and others from you pertaining to the SI joint. I actually read all the comments you have received. Shocked, at how you take the time to answer virtually all of them - not shocked by the happy campers you have created. Ok, your head's big enough☺. Got the Serola and its a game changer - thanks to you. SI was missed on me for oh so many years. Would a seated figure 4 stretch maybe be considered a potential SI aggravator? Better with the belt on perhaps? Unsure if that stretch can put more laxity in to the SI ligament. I have done if for a long time as it allows me to keep enough flexibility to tie my shoes. Thanks much, Chuck Weissman
