Simple Solutions to Sacroiliac SI Joint Pain

The sacroiliac joint, or SI joint, is a common, but often overlooked, cause of lower back pain, sciatica pain, and SI joint pain.
Links discussed in video are found below. Click "SHOW MORE" *
When not properly diagnosed SI joint dysfunction or SI joint instability can lead to frustrating results from traditional treatment for these common conditions (low back pain, sciatica, hip pain, pelvic region pain, etc).

The sacroiliac joint does not have to be an option of last resort when trying to figure out your back pain or sciatic symptoms. With a proper understanding of the SI joint anatomy, some clues as to how the sacroiliac joint gets injured, and some ideas on what can be done to help heal the SI joint, you stand a greater chance of resolution of your pain.
As always, it is important to work side-by-side with your medical professional to determine the exact cause of your pain and be guided on a course of care. However, in my private practice I find that all too often the SI joint and SI joint dysfunction, most commonly SI joint instability, is an overlooked cause of pelvic region pain and back pain.
And many times patients will go to a chiropractor who does a chiropractic adjustment over and over and over again with nothing but transient results. Chiropractic adjustments when properly performed on joints that are fixated / stuck versus unstable have powerful positive benefits. However, manual chiropractic adjustments done to a joint that has instability does not provide lasting pain relief and in some cases can make the pain worse. Proper diagnosis is vital.
There are ways for a chiropractor to "adjust" a sacroiliac joint that has some instability, if it appears necessary. These are low-force chiropractic techniques like Activator Methods and Thompson Drop technique, both of which utilize a specialized instrument to provide a gentle adjustment to the joint.
Also addressed are the classic presentation of SI joint pain. We delve into the case of a dancer who hurt herself sledding. Her SI joint instability responded rapidly and completely when we got her a trochanteric belt / SI belt (positivemotion...) to help improve stability across her sacroiliac joints and which allowed her sacroiliac ligaments to heal. In cases where someone has SI joint instability a trochanteric belt can be key.
If you are suffering with back pain, pelvic region pain, or sciatica and can't seem to find a lasting solution, you may have SI joint instability. This video will help you understand more about SI joint pain and sacroiliac joint instability. Working closely with your health care providers, armed with knowledge, you can find a solution. I hope this video helps you find the relief you deserve soon.

[@gingerandkategithens2802]

Hi! also here is what saved me, I suffered with sciatica for 3 years, and I had tried everything, ( i am 58 yrs old) it would literally take me 15 minutes to figure out how to get out of bed! it was so painful! ...So my daughter came home from college and i asked her to put the memory foam mattress she used at college on my bed and this is going to sound nuts but after just napping on it once i could tell i felt a little better! and then going forward each time i slept on it, it got easier to get out of bed and after 2 weeks my sciatica was basically gone! I have not been back to the Dr. to get any more cortisone shots since! And I am not selling a product because as you can see, i have not named the product other than that it was memory foam. So sometimes it can be as dumb as changing a little something in your life like this pad! also i had a meniscus problem in my knee because i had been compensating with my knees to bend to pick things up. ....On another day i was telling a friend about my past back problems and how the pad fixed me and she asked if i wear flip flops, and i said yes! i live in them in the summer! and a light bulb went off in my head because it suddenly occured to me that every time i started wearing flip flops my back would start to feel bad, ....so then....because our phones are listening, i get and add for these flip flops with and arch support which of course i then ordered!... and this is equally nuts but i had a bump by my knee almost the size of a half walnut, and this is no joke, after 24 hours the pain was gone and 72 hours the bump was gone! And my son said to me, mom if i did not see that with my own eyes i would not believe you! But the bump was there for 3 months and he saw it go away in 3 days! and i had been seeing a doctor for it and nothing was working! ...except those flip flops! so try simple changes like these too!!! It made all the difference for me!

Cause of injury: chiropractic adjustment of sacro iliac. Went from a slight problem to totally blocked such that nerves were pinched, incredible pain and continued to block for weeks after... Overinflated egos lead to forced manipulations. I told the practitioner that I would not tolerate the adjustment he wanted to make but he just insisted and went on to injure me. I went back to him and he just does not listen, wanted to do the same forced manip again!

[@Dave5843-d9m]

@@meganl.5650 The most common SI problem is restricted movement. The shock absorber effect is lost causing excess load on hip and low back. It generates pain because back muscles over-work and become painful. A good chiropractor should be able to diagnose which you have - SI restrictions or SI instability.

Like many others who have written I have suffered for 7years with SI joint pain and seen physio, doctors, chiropractors with no long term cure. I am sure I have muscle/core weakness so am very keen to purchase the trochanteric belt and ligaplex 1 supplement but cannot find the links you mentioned. Could you please send them to me.

[@julieridgeway8539]

EXCELLENT explanation and solutions! It's pretty incredible the shear force at the SI joint. When I was a young kid, whenever I sat cross-legged, I'd feel a "thump" at my bottom but never had any pain. The first time I had pain was when I was pregnant, and in standing, I sneezed. The most incredible pain, couldn't sit/stand, going from sitting to standing and vice versa was excrutiating. Did not know at the time anything about SI joint and my OBGYN didn't mention it as a possible cause. Fast forward years of self study (and eventually going to back to school to practice PT), I now understand what happened, and why. I learned that a big factor in SI joint dysfunction can be women's hormonal cycles which cause increased ligament laxity. This is necessary during pregnancy to allow for delivery through the pelvis, but it also happens to a lesser degree during regular menstrual cycles, and it affects all ligaments in the body. They've seen that women athletes can become more injured at certain points in their cycles for just this reason. I appreciate your approach and wanted to add a bit of info to the conversation.

Good video. So to be clear, there is a difference between the sacrum/pelvis being out of alignment vs. the si joints being stretched too much. Both present similiarly but they have different treatments. First you have to see if your pelvis is out of alignment, then stabilize it, and hold in place with the belt and stability exercises. However, if you have overstretched the ligaments, which can happen thru vigorous exercise, dance, not necessarily trauma, then the key is to rest, use ice, and use the serola belt. When the pain stops, then you can start the strengthening exercises. I love my serola belt and it helps bring more awareness to movement in that area. It has taken me years to figure all this out...hope it helps someone.

Sorry, this is so long I didn’t know how else to explain what had happened in 50 years. This was the best video that could have come along. You did a wonderful job explaining SI so it was really easy to understand. I’ve never heard of this even though I’ve dealt w it since 7th grade. I turned 60 this year. Trauma at the park running around fell on the edge of the sidewalk, perfectly landed on my coccyx. Took months to sit properly and years to watch a movie in a theater all the way. Through the years I’ve had problems with lower back, neck, shoulders, sciatic pain, degenerative disease, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. In 10th grade woke up for school and could not move neck in severe pain. Had acupuncture back then in a very small town. Chiropractors at neighbor going to school saw due to neck and lower back SI. Since then it’s been chiropractors, doctors, MRI’s, CT’s, physical therapy over and over for many years.The pain is always there especially in lower region as you showed “SI”, tailbone, lower back, neck, shoulders and headaches. My right side is out now and very painful even without the touch. Painful to sit have tried many different devices. Looking for something new. I've been using heat and ice for years forgot about that tried every cream and pad on the market. Nothing helps. While your getting treated maybe some relief when they quit it starts all over. Rehabilitation worked and they tried electrical stimulation. After it quits working. If I brush my teeth, wash dishes, run errands, wash clothes, pick something up my SI flares up. Then my sciatic flares up. Had a few strokes so over the years this has not helped in the nerve area. The left side from hip down to me toes gives me problems. Stand to long or on feet to long then my back, legs and feet hurt worse than having three babies natural. I’m in severe pain all the time. I’m tired of it and if what your talking about will help this would be my miracle. So thank you. I forgot to write your name down my bad I’ll do that after this long post. Take care and many blessings!

Two days of wearing the SI joint belt and I have for the first time experienced no pain standing or driving, better sleep, less muscle tension in back, hips and legs. You have described to a tee everything that I have been experiencing for the last 3 years while doctors kept telling me there was nothing wrong with me and chiropractor, massage, accupuncture provided temporary relief. Without going into the details of my entire 3 year saga, I just can't believe that no one ever mentioned this belt to me, though I always pointed to the exact spot between lower back and buttocks to every single health practitioner. So, thank you. I am quite sure that I have SI joint instability which now begs the question: 1) can I do stretching and strengthening exercises with the belt on, or should I even continue exercising while wearing the belt? Is it better to take a couple of weeks and let the belt alone hopefully allow for area to heal? 2) Which stretching exercises release tension in lower back, buttocks and hips, but do not worsen frayed or loose SI ligaments? 3) Which glute strengthening exercises do not irritate sciatic nerve causing more muscle tension and pain in area, creating a need for more stretching in what seems like an endless loop, while possibly worsening the SI instability? Much gratitude 🙏

@@talenthunt750 I am still figuring it out. There are a few theories in my case. One that the back pain while standing seems to be caused by back muscles tightening, taking over for weak core muscles, causing an exaggerated curve of lower back. Belt eases the pain so that back muscles don't need to work so hard to keep me standing. But seems like, at least in my case, no other way out but to strengthen glutes and core muscles. Must be correct exercises so that back doesn't tighten even more, i.e. only exercises that keep back fully touching the floor, not tightening back more. Also practicing tucking in the the tail bone while standing and engaging core muscles. Hope this helps you. If not, keep searching and listening to your body.

@@minafl1 oh! but i've diagnosed AS 4 days ago cause I'm hla b27 positive . It's in early stage (nr axspa) though . You should do a hla b27 test if you feel stiffness in morning . Whatever, take it seriously , early diagnosis can save your life, God bless

Very helpful! I’ve barely been able to walk and all my doctors say I’m just over weight. Well yeah but I can’t work on that if I can’t walk!

[@PositiveMotionChiro]

Hi Malinda, I’m sorry you have been in pain and barely able to walk. I hope you find relief from your pain soon. Take care!

[@Junjo11]

Malinda you have to do some exercise no matter how overweight . Crawl if you can't walk

[@joannedavis1991]

MD doctors look at you like a house payment. They take a ton of tests and since physically there’s nothing that shows this condition, they give you pain medication and tell you to come back in another couple of weeks. This cycle just repeats itself.

This is actually Roxanne, Ernests wife lol. But I feel your pain! I just wanted to mention the pool! There's something about swimming that makes me feel weightless and it works out our whole body! They wanna blame everything on weight. I feel like so many doctors just wanna slap a cheap "band-aid" type of diagnosis or remedy on us! Just something to get us out of their office. It's sad, but it's how I feel about a lot of doctors, nurses, PA's, NP's- those who we turn to for problems with our body. And the "you're overweight" band-aid is just too easy for them to resist... ok, I'll get off my soapbox lol. I'm so thankful for this video!! I can't wait to learn more!! And if you are looking for ways to exercise without so much pain- maybe try looking into exercise you can do in a pool! Or shoot, even just swimming. It sure helps me. Best wishes! (:

Omg every single word you've said has absolutely described the pain I've had for months. I've had my pelvis realigned. I've had trigger points dry needed. I've done so many isometric workouts for my glutes. I've had an MRI that discovered a bulging L4-L5 disc, which I've started to fix after some red flag symptoms and after ALL OF THAT, I still had sacroiliac pain. I've felt like I've been going mad reading and watching videos around it and discovering the sheer amount of tendons in the area and thinking, "but the edges of my glutes feel weak.... could that be my tendons?" I've just used a regular damn belt, and the pain has just stopped as I've stood up. Proper belt coming in the morning. I'm going to the doctor with this info ASAP. Thank you so much!

[@PositiveMotionChiro]

You are welcome. Thank YOU for sharing your story, sounds like you have been going through a lot. I hope that this is the start to your pain free journey. Take care.

[@tmneaves]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. My heart goes out to everyone who has so much pain. I've had my pain for only 3 months but it has completely stopped my world. The video explains my pain exactly. I had to use stairs the other day because an escalator was broken. I was crying in pain after three levels. I took the elevator down. I just ordered both products. Thank you for putting a link using Amazon. I'll have my products in 2 days. Many blessings 🙏

I’m glad that my video on SI joint pain resonated with you. I am sorry to hear you have been in pain. I hope you feel better soon. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

[@secretlyintroverted7939]

I am currently being treated for this due to hypermobility and, as your patients say, I have been looking for a belt support for when it feels particularly unstable so thank you for the tip.

[@wewillnotbequiet]

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I fell about 3 years ago down the stairs in my home, hitting my left hip all the way down, on each step. Thank you for this video. Now maybe I can get some relief.

[@gaysy1st]

That is exactly what I did too!

Amazing video. I've been treated for piriformis syndrome, while the underlying cause is SI joint. I knew it was SI joint, went to the chiro, he said - piriformis. Then he said the knee pain is from inflamed muscle. I know where and when I feel the pain and even before watching this video I was 100% sure I deal with SI Joint. Now I am 1000% sure.

Wow. After years with back/ hip issues I was referred to a pain mgmt This was the diet time SI came up and suggested I wear a belt. Beautiful!!!! What a difference!!! Still have issues with L3-L5 but at least I can walk again with reduced hip pain….and I am a walker!! Thanks for explaining further

I've just discovered your channel today. Awesome information!! I've been seeing a chiropractor for 3 weeks to correct a 14yr old untreated injury in my neck & chronic pain in my lower back. It has been amazing and I've been pain free ever since. But watching your videos on lower back pain has really helped me appreciate the way our bodies function. Very clear, simple and informative. Thanks a lot!

[@PositiveMotionChiro]

Hi E B, Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you found the video helpful and informative. And I'm happy you are getting chiropractic care for your neck and lower back and feeling pain-free! What a gift! Take care.
