- The sacroiliac joint, or SI joint, is a common, but often overlooked, cause of lower back pain, sciatica pain, and SI joint pain.

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 (amzn.to/3hkiIjh) 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.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. I was literally screaming YES! Everytime you said anything. I've been going to massage, chiropractor, acupuncture, and physical therapy and nothing is helping me. I was so confused like what more can I do??? Thank you thank you thank you!!! I am so grateful for you taking the time for this and explaining so well!
Hi Natalia,
I'm so glad that you found my SI joint pain video and that it resonated with you. I hope you will feel better soon!
thank you doctor I been suffering of that pain I need to understand tha exercise regularly
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!

That's what I thought.
I am crying bc for the first time in years someone has finally said what I needed to hear. I’ve been living with chronic pain for years and all the drs just pass me along bc I’m young
It sounds like you have been through a lot Alyssa Rauchbauer. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you get back to feeling 100% soon. Hang in there!
Same here
You won’t believe this but my docs pass me over due to my age, regardless of a life of athletics and no health problems.
Same!! I also have a lumbar herniated disc so everyone has assumed that is what my pain was from. I am just figuring out I have SI joint issues after 12 years of pain. 😢
I had it first at 28 yrs old. Never had it again with the use of Pilates and good physiotherapist until I got sloppy at 47. Fixing it is life changing 😊
Dude I’ve been struggling with what I thought was sciatic nerve pain for my entire adult life. This info took pain away that I didn’t think I could get rid of. Thank you
So happy to hear that you are feeling better! Thank you so much for watching.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! My wife had been fighting with this pain for about a year. She was at a consistent 9 with pain, 8 on good days. She had so many scans, ER visits ect. To the point where all the doctors were going to hand her off to the mayo clinic. She would have to take a few minutes after each visit that said that nothing was wrong to ball her eyes out. Then I found this video, ordered the belt. Now a few weeks later she has 0 pain. So I personally want to thank you for giving me back the happy fun loving wife that I married.
I am so glad you and your wife found my content helpful. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your wife's story. It sounds like she has been going through a lot but finally feeling better! I hope she continues feeling good! Take care! ☺️
How do you spell threw name of the belt?
I feel so bad hearing about so many people suffering from back pain. I believe back pain has the potential to ruin marriages and lives in general. Personally I used to lash out in anger at my loved ones.
The Thompson technique with pressure tool and drop table fixes it in about 6 months-but-my injury was about 20 years old.

Oml this guy is a God send. I’ve been in pain for over 20yrs have spent thousands of everything and not one person has suggested this and this guy has explained in detail the pain I’m in. Thank you soo much
No joke....I've had this for 40 years, been to numerous doctors had innumerable procedures and tests, and recently stopped the pain pill roller-coaster after 14 years. You are the absolute 1st and only doctor who has explained this. Unbelievable. You answered every single question ive been trying to get answered for a very long time.Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so glad you found my video and that it resonated with you. 🙏🏼
I have had MRI scans, physio, chiro and nobody could help me. Everything you have described here in this video are my symptoms that I have bee experiencing for the past 6 years. Some days I can’t even walk! It can be triggered by a simple stretch in bed when I first wake up which will cripple me for the whole day. I can’t believe I have stumbled on this video at 2am and I finally may have found a diagnosis. Thank you Dr..
I’m in the exact same position Sean. 6 years of pain. Mine occurred after a motorcycle accident. I hope you find relief. I hope I find relief myself.
I’m watching it a 1am and thinking the same, I hope this can actually help with the lower back pain. Wish you all the best of luck!
Blood type diet worked for me
@@bornstubern blood type diet fixed me and I knew a guy that took liquid minerals that worked for him after an accident
Seven years 24hours non stop pain...si joint or low back pain is hell
20 years I’ve been looking for a solution and today I finally found it here. Thank you so much!
You are welcome Chris Wells. 20 years is a long time. I really hope you get to feeling 100% soon! Hang in there.
1 in a million videos on sore back/si pain.. this guy is literally saving lives with this one utube video.. It's tough to figure this problem out. Very very many thank yous..😊
As a german trained osteopath, I found this video very helpful and informative! Reassurance and positivity!! Thanks!!!
I am glad you found my content helpful Ron Webb! Thank you for watching and commenting.
13 YEARS!!!! It is 1:35 in the morning and I am screaming in pain looking for some sort of relief. I was actually looking for a quick relief video when I stumbled upon yours, I watched it anyway and wow did it make a difference!!!
I have something very similar to the belt you suggested but I usually wear it around my lower back instead of my hips. All I did was lower it about 6 inches and I have immediate relief. Ridiculous but amazing. I am crying of relief right now. You just changed my life!! ❤
I'm humbled by your words. Making a difference in someone's life is what makes everything worth it. Thank you and I hope you get to feeling 100% soon.🙏🏽

I'm literally crying watching this. I've struggled with this off and on for nearly 20 years, unhelped by doctors, and yes, unhelped by yoga, though I love it. My second pregnancy left me nearly incapacitated, and after years working to heal from that, I wrecked all my progress last week by sweeping up a couple of leaves. I felt like I'd failed somehow. This video will not only help me physically (I'm ordering a belt ASAP), but it's already helped me psychologically -- I HAVEN'T been abusing my body after all, I HAVE been trying to take care of myself, I AM careful. I'm just way too flexible 😅 Everyone always acted like flexibility was a good thing, and all doctors ever told me was to stretch even more 😐
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I totally relate to your story. I keep hurting myself. Not anymore. Hopefully.
Doc you are a saviour.
And your talking style and positive body language is best I've seen.
You hit every. single. marker. of the pain and symptoms I'm going through. This has explained so much, and I am definitely going to have to do some more research along this route and discuss with my doctor. Thank you for opening a door to a possible cause
Bro you’ve literally saved my life man…things got bleak there. This has changed my whole outlook on the nature of my episodes. Between the belt and learning to make that “pop” adjustment by hanging in an inversion table and doing a slight spinal twist. You’ve restored my faith in chiropractors by being candid.
It makes me happy to know that my video was helpful to you. I do this for moments like this. Take care and I hope you are on your way to feeling 100%
I love an inversion table. I swear I wouldve slept upside down on mine if I could.
Tell me more about this pop adjustment?? Is there another video on that?? Desperate!!
When you start to plan your death because the pain has been too much for too long... Then some random stranger off the internet saves your mental state and thus, your life. I can't express how much this helps, I found an old lumbar support belt and tried it around my hips, even being the wrong size it helped! Ordered a belt within minutes.
@@sugapie5328 lol
42 years of pain and I think I finally found the answer. Wow! I'm just blown away. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. I can't believe I finally have the answer and I may not have to live the rest of my life dealing with this pain. Thank you so much 💓
What answer did the video provide for you?
@@soniavdas Just identifying what the exact issue is and ability to find the right stretches to alleviate the pain.
I'm so sorry. That's a horrible pain to live with😢
4 years of this SI pain after a fall. I feel like crying because you have so many solutions that have given me hope. Thank you so much!!
Hi Hope,
I’m sorry that you have had SI pain for 4 years but I am glad that you found my video and are feeling hopeful. I pray that the things I teach in the SI joint instability video help you get back to feeling 100% again really soon. Take care!
Your story sounds like mine..
I really think what you are describing is what is going on with me. I have been told I have degenerative disc at L4-L5. Would it be easy to confuse these 2 conditions or can you have both? Also, I broke my tailbone in a skydiving land 15 years ago and now arthritis has set in there. The relief I get from chiropractic adjustments just don't last. The back and spine are just so confusing.
@@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.
I suffered from SI pain for about 14 months...tried almost everything.
THEN i found accupuncture !!
Has solved the issue. I dont understand it but it works !!
I'm in the UK and have had this pain for 45 years. During that time I haven't found any doctor who was able to diagnos the cause of my SI pain. I now have to use a wheelchair to be mobile during the day.
Your video has been revelatory for me. Thank you.
Hi Kate Snow,
I’m sorry that you have been dealing with pain for so many years. I am glad that you found my video on SI joint instability and that it was revelatory for you. My life purpose is to help people understand their body and how to help it feel its best. I hope you will find some relief from your pain. Take care.
sorry to hear this Kate , i am a chiropractic student and hope that a chiropractor can help you , see if you can find one trained in gonstead chiropractic :) blessings and healing to you
I think the heavens just opened up and dropped you
in my lap! Thank you Jesus thank you God for this video. I just
order this belt, now I can say goodbye to the pain I’m in.
You are so welcome Leaetta Brooks. I hope you get back to feeling 100% soon.
does it work?
I want to thank you so much for this video. You provided far more information on this subject than I have found with the other UA-camrs on this same matter. I’ve been exercising to build my glutes and performing the stretches, but you have added so much more, And it WORKS!!!
Many thanks! ❤
Had this type of pain for months. This is one of the best youtube clips I have seen on this issue. No one has ever mentioned this type of belt to me. Thank you so much. 🇮🇪
Same!!!
Me either
Fighting this for years. No one hears me. No one listens.
I been had the belt it helps but not that much the only thing that really helped me was the SI JOINT FUSION that's where they put screws through your pelvis I have two 5 inch screws through my pelvis laying on my spine I hate to say anyone with this problem is destroyed for the rest of your life
Sorry to hear that Janice that really sounds awful. Thanks for sharing everyone, really hope your all doing better today. 🇮🇪
That is the clearest explanation of SI anatomy and instability I've ever seen. It's cleared up quite a few mistakes for me. A big thank you.
I feel seen! For the first time in 15 years all the pain and discomfort I’ve felt is validated by the information provided in this video. I’ve been to numerous chiropractors, RMT’s, physiotherapy appointments and all for temporary relief but never actually treating the chronic pain for my SI joint injury. I ordered the trochanteric belt and now the Ligaplex supplements. I’m also going to do these exercises that are recommended too. I can’t wait to feel normal and mobile like I once was. Kudos to you doc for the valuable video!!
You are very welcome Deanna Daniel. I am happy and fortunate that I can help those in pain. I hope you get to feeling 100% soon.
I injured mine 8 months ago and it gave me hip pain and 24/7 exsessive wind which completely ruined my last year in school. Thank you for the info.
By your happy demeanour I know that you are already in heaven. I wish you to stay happy and healthy and live for ever. Thank you so much for explaining the mechanics of this problem. It's been at least 15 years since I ask medical professionals for help and they simply don't know what you do. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to people like you this world is a better place to live in.
Hi Lucyna Jacobs,
Thank you so much for your kind words. They made me smile and feel joyful. I am grateful that I can help people to better understand their body and feel better.
OMG this is EXACTLY the pain I’ve been having for months (and years actually on and off) and currently going to PT for after my X-ray came back negative! Thank for this video and helpful information!!
I am so thankful I ran across this video. I’ve been suffering with debilitating pain in my lower back, hips, and nerve pain down my legs. I’ve been to a chiropractor off and on for 30+ years, been to PT multiple times, and have had several epidurals, etc., only to have the pain come back. I’m beyond excited and very hopeful that these exercises will help me!! I was actually researching how to strengthen my core when I found you. You mentioned some of the exercises that sheared the SI joint and I had just started doing some of those lately. So I’m super thankful for your video!!!!
I am so grateful that something led me to your video. I could hardly walk…no kidding! It was difficult, but I managed to do just one of each of the exercises. By night fall I was getting around pretty much pain free. I can’t thank you enough for sharing this video with the world! I am thankful for you and May God bless you young man! 👏👏
I’m so relieved I found you! After going to so many different providers, this video is the first thing that finally makes sense! I subscribed and thank you so much for helping us!
Hi Daisy,
That makes me really happy that you learned good stuff from my video. Thanks so much for your comment! Take care.
I stumble on your video and I am so appreciative of your lecture. I was feeling abandoned with my back pain. Now I know what’s my problem and it’s because of you. Thank you!
This sounds like exactly what I am experiencing. I will definitely get the belt and capsules. I have been in severe pain for the past 6 months. So happy I stumbled on this channel this evening.
I have had MRIs and been to three different PTs, this video explains my situation almost perfectly. Thank you! I can't wait to discuss this with my Healthcare team and get that belt!
What a great explanation! This summarizes the SI in a way very few can! Thanks! Very professional video quality as well.
I'm glad you found the video helpful. The sacroiliac joint is so commonly a cause of low back pain and understanding SI joint treatment options is vital. Thanks for your comment.
I would not do yoga its occult worship and best avoided.Thank you excellent
@@valerieanne223 I’m so confused by your response.
Thank you! This helped me very much. I could not express what I am feeling, until now.
Kindest regards,
I’m glad my video helped you. I appreciate your comment.
I’ve been suffering from SI joint pain, with nerve pain, for years. As you said, yoga seemed to help, but not for long. Chiropractic adjustment also gave only temporary relief. I ordered the belt, and it came two days ago. I wore it for several hours yesterday, and last night I had my first pain-free sleep in years! I wore it all day today, and was amazed that I was able to walk pain-free, without limping! It’s a real game changer! Thank you!
I go to a chiropractor who only uses the Activator. It always helps my SI joint when it is out. Low force is definitely the way to go!
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!
@@MsMesem "overinflated egos lead to forced manipulations" very true. I stopped doing them with clients also because it was preventing them from making the required changes to actually fix their issue.
@@thatbodymechanic An aggressive thump on the area is not going to fix a long term problem that involves muscles, tendons and fascia; that seems pretty basic to me.
@@MsMesem STOP GOING! i've been to many different chiropractors over the years and if they don't listen leave right away or you can end up messed up. I love my current chiropractor and have been with him over 9 years...i have an odd hypermobile body and he always listens and rechecks if i say something still doesn't feel right...i'm weird and my floating rip won't adjust til the rest of my body is cleared out...i go back every few weeks to be put back together again and just sent him this video to get his thoughts on it...HOpe you find a good chiropractor soon!
I've been dealing with this pain for years, and it's to the point of keeping me awake most nights. This video has taught me so much and answered so many questions! Now I'm armed with the knowledge I need to try and fix this.
I've had this three times in my life over the last 10 years and it is the most debilitating pain I have ever experienced, especially as it prevents you from being mobile. Can't stand, can't sit, can't lie down without being in pain, it's horrible. The last time I had it was last year, and I stumbled on a YT video that showed me some stretches that began improvement within a few days, and within a couple of weeks I was back to my old self.
I feel for anyone who experiences this condition and isn't able to get diagnosed and treated by a knowledgeable practitioner, it truly is hell on earth.
I agree! 100%. Well said!
I cried today because I am so tired of living in pain. I am hoping to find the right doctor to truly help me because its been so long, nothing is working but I have faith that it will. I will be pain free!
It's been about two months since I discovered this video. I purchased the belt and supplement. After 6 weeks I was cured. Your diagnosis was spot on and I committed to the process. Once I properly placed the belt on. Everything changed for the better. Thanks Doc! 🙏🏿
Thank you for the comment. It is wonderful to hear that you were able to take charge of your pain and get back to feeling good! Take care.

Hi I have just discovered your videos and am feeling encouraged to try your recommendations. 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. I live in NZ so hope they will ship there.
I have also noted down your exercises. Many thanks. Heather
What supplement did you take?
@@Btrutaltruth ligaplex2. The doctor said it was the patient choice. Wearing the belt properly is key. It's uncomfortable at first but I would wear for about 12 hours a day.
Wow!! I’ve been suffering with this for 2 years now, and I’ve tried so many things to no avail. I just found this video tonight and ordered the belt immediately. I hope it helps me too.
I appreciated the details on the anatomy. It really helped me conceptualize where my general and sometime acute pinpoint pain is manifesting. Pregnancy and ice skating really affected me in terms of this SI/periforma area for sure.
I am very grateful for your video. Not only were you describing all the things I have been feeling but you also gave answers on something’s that will help. You are much appreciated for your video and helping so many people find answers that so many have missed. Thank you.
I fell on my behind over a month ago, and started experiencing this pain that you described perfectly, even the pain down the back of the leg. I would LOVE to get my hands on one of those belts!
Been a PT for nearly 30 years and have treated hundreds of backs, always checking for SI dysfunction day 1. Great coverage of this very common area that so many practitioners don’t take into the clinical picture. Pretty much cover all the points I cover with my patients including the one of the two SI belts I use. Also highly recommend people check out your exercise video. Thanks for promoting this often overlooked area and providing great info! Cheers
What’s the other belt. The medium belt is unavailable
@@25eightMentality you can order a medium belt directly from the manufacture. I just did.
@@lh298 okk..It should be useful. But do we get habbited with the belt ,do our muscle gets weak due to support in long time
@@crusaderkumar2868 I used it only to lessen/eleminate the pain as I did my exercises to strengthen. I no longer need the belt now.

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.
That is exactly what I did too!
I have been having pain for a few years now and over the last few months has gotten worse. I purchased the belt that you recommended and received it 3 days ago. I have not had pain in 3 days. I wish I saw this earlier, but I am really grateful for your video and the help you gave me 👍
So happy to hear you are pain free! Thank you so much for watching.
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.
As an RN, I very much appreciate the teaching of anatomy and physiology which is so important for the patient before undertaking therapy. Many thanks for a most excellent channel!
Bless you Diane. RNs are great people. I have three in my family. And thank you for your kind words. I too believe that sharing the whole story is important to helping people get better and stay better. 🙏

Omg yes
Was gonna say the same thing! Absolutely much appreciated!!
@@PositiveMotionChiro mloo
Yes for me also. Best video.
After 27 years you have given me the answer to my extreme pain sitting standing and sleeping. Excruciating pain from a car accident that requires Fentanyl to dull but not kill the pain.
Hi Robert, I am glad our Sacroiliac joint pain video was helpful. Thank you so much for your feedback.
Everything you said is absolutely perfect about the pain I went thru for months. I had the x-rays and MRIs and ultrasounds and nobody could find out what it was. The girl that does my Fashah Massage said that she doesn’t believe it’s my sciatic, but it was my sacroiliac joint. She recommended I go to a chiropractor. I was terrified of going to a chiropractor, because I don’t like things that pop, especially on me. He introduced me to the drop table, and on the very first visit I was able to walk again without the pain. I’ve gone to him about five times so far in the last month, but each time I can go longer without having to go see him again. I’m on day seven and I feel terrific. I truly believe this is helping. And I can only pray that in time. I’ll be able to do strengthening exercises and won’t need to go to the chiropractor. just to be able to walk to the car without crying or be able to make my own bed or do laundry or do dishes is truly a blessing. I feel like there’s hope now. Thank you for this video. I am sharing it with several people and family members.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It sounds like you have been through a lot but finally on the wayto living pain free.🙏🏼 Glad you found my content helpful. Take care.
Was disgnosed with this years ago. I remember the injury when I was between 5 and 7 (slipped on stairs, landed on one buttock). My father told me to get up and quit crying, when I NEEDED to have it immediately put back into place. Instead, I was left to grow into adulthood with bad body imbalance, and popping, painful hip. Put on trochanter belt and my muscles were SO tired! But chiropractor did not want me getting one. THANK YOU!!!
You are welcome Andrea. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I hope you get to feeling 100%!
You are such a great teacher! Simple, clear and not selling primarily!👏👏👏👏👏💗💗💗💗
Thanks for your in depth knowledge regarding the si ligament instability and periformis involvement. This is probably a very overlooked diagnosis and keeps patients frustrated with unnecessary chronic pain.
I fell in 1977 and landed on my left hip. I've been to every conceivable practitioner with no lasting help for 45 years. I'm buying the belt. You make more sense than all of them put together. Thank you.
Thank YOU for watching Marcy Dobbs. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
It took me 4 years to figure out all that stuff by myself, including what’s going on with me, what is SI joint and its structure, SI joint belts, and all these, for years I’ve been searching for help, and here it put together into one short video! Bravo!
Btw, my SI joint problems started with hopping on one leg after osteomyelitis surgery (I was too lazy to use crutches). Avoid asymmetrical movements, especially bending on one leg, lifting weights on one leg etc. peace ✌️
You are the only one making any sense now that I’ve been down all those dead ends.
Me too. All my chiros were useless.
Hi Catalina,
I’m glad you found my video helpful and that it resonated with you. Thank you so much for watching and commenting on our sacroiliac joint pain video.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this priceless information. I have been suffering for the past 2 years with horrible lower back pain which radiates into my glutes and down my leg. My back went out a few months ago and I was incapacitated. My legs wouldn't work and the pain was horrific. I could not afford a trochanteric belt so I grabbed a large scarf from my closet and tied it snug around my hips where you said the belt should be placed. I've been wearing it daily for about 4 days and now the pain in my glutes, legs, and lower back is almost non-existent. I was beginning to get so depressed from the chronic pain everyday. Thank you so much for your help. I hope you are blessed beyond measure for it. ❤️
It sounds like you have been through a lot Strudlebaker. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am glad you are feeling better and I hope you get to feeling 100% soon. Hang in there.
You have helped me so much understand things better. Bought the belt and will use it. I walk in a pool to get myself moving but thought lunge stretches and yoga was the key. I learned from you to not push that. Thankyou! I also saw your SI joint exercises and am faithfully doing them.
I’m 49 I’ve had these issues my whole life and no one NOONE has been able to understand it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY BODY!!!
You are very welcome @Mossyrocklove. Thank YOU for subscribing and I hope you get to feeling 100% soon!
Backpain for years, nothing helps, have tomorrow an appointment at a new orthopedist and youtube just recommended this video to me. Don't know which power i have to thank for this coincidence, but I am so happy. What you described is me to the letter....
Hi Nevaeh,
I’m also happy that you found my video on SI joint pain and that it resonated with you. I hope your upcoming visit with your doctor will give you a solution to your years of back pain. I’m sending positive thoughts your way.
All Glory to Heavenly Father in all things
@@pjhoover1 Gimme a break
I've had this problem since I was 15 (now 28) and several medical people have overlooked it, not even considered the SI joint. I also have hypermobility. Thank you for this video, I now know what to do about it going forward!
I'm sorry to hear that you have been suffering for so long. I'm glad you learned from my video and I hope that you will feel 100% soon!

If I could like this video 100 times I would. It’s been 2 months and some days it felt like it was getting so much better after so many chiropractic/PT appointments. Bnd like he said, ONE time sitting wrong, ONE time bending over wrong, etc. And I’m back to square one. Pain is exactly where he pointed out as well on both sides. I’m buying everything he recommended ASAP
So helpful, I struggle with this as I shaved for 20 years.
I’m local, totally need to call your office!
I was a gymnast, very flexible and have had this pain for a few years now. I'm in my 60's now. The belt is fantastic. I can't walk more than 100 ft. without. it. Thank you for addressing this condition.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am glad the Serola belt has brought some pain relief to you.
Hello.. do you still practice
How long do you wear the belt?
So _that's_ what I've had all these years. Eye opening. Thanks, Doc!
Yeah I drove a city bus and a school bus chorus more than twenty five years not enough walking also
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.
Thank you
Hi @ArielPaz08 - your explanation is fantastic. What a great summary!
@@PositiveMotionChiro Thank you! We are all in this together. Have a great day!
I've been in pain every day for over 10 years with this problem you describe - lower back pain on right side, right side hip joint pain, feels inflamed & swollen & extremely sore, difficulty walking, standing, bending, & sitting, nothing showing on x-rays, nothing on MRI scans, physio & Zapain offer temporary relief. Life is miserable because of it. I'll watch your other videos. Thank you.
It sounds like you have been through a lot Dood. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you get to feeling better soon! Hang in there.
YOU EXPLAINED EXACTLY THE SYMPTOMS I’M SUFFERING FOR MANY YEARS AFTER FALLING AND BOUNCING ON MY BUTTOCKS GOING DOWNSTAIRS, OF COURSE I DID’NT NOTICED HARSH PAIN JUST AFTER THE ACCIDENT...
I’m glad that you found an answer to the cause of your SI and back pain after watching my video. I hope that with this knowledge you will be able to get back to feeling 100% and pain-free.
José, I just commented with that same exact story ! Twelve years ago I mistepped and bounced my butt down the stairs too! I've never even heard of the SI Joint. In fact, I'm not even sure how I came across those video and started watching it. Lol.
I just wanted to say thank you for this information… did my own research about the type a pain I was experiencing with even not being able to walk for 5 days. I couldn’t wait for this specific belt so I used an old neoprene sweat belt I had…the instantaneous relief I felt cannot be overstated. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m glad you found my content helpful Jaffa Monks. It makes me so happy to hear that you are already feeling better!
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been having chiropractic for years for sciatic. I moved to Canada from Washington 8 yrs ago. I’ve been having the side twisting adjustment but it makes it worse so now I know what to ask for, plus with your exercises I now have hope to get pain free. ❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful Carla Pogson! I hope you get to feeling better soon! Take care.
Thank you so much for sharing this info. For over a month I could barely walk due to severe SI joint pain, and nothing I tried helped. I watched this through, and bought the belt thinking it all sounded too good to be true, but it really worked. I was back up and walking normally in just over 2 weeks!
I came away from this understanding why the injury happened, how to help it heal, and how to avoid it happening again. I've only been on my feet for 11 months, after 3.5 years in a wheelchair, so having the SI joint injury threaten my mobility for such an extended time was incredibly hard on me. I can't possibly thank you enough for the help.
In gratitude!
Damn! I came across your video by accident while looking for something else but it was as if you were talking about me in every respect. I've had that problem for over twenty years. Physical therapists helped a little with piriformis pressure, ice, etc. years ago, and most recently a good chiropractor was doing exactly what you described and giving me, as you described, temporary relief. Over the years I noticed that walking on my treadmill with the incline raised was causing problems. The higher I went, the worse the problem. So now I keep it flat. Walking for a long time (60 minutes or more) on the treadmill also seems to bring the pain on. I'm 80, but I'm very active around my house and that includes climbing ladders. And that seems to make things worse, especially when I spend a whole day going up and down the ladder trimming a very tall hedge. I tried strengthening that area by stair stepping and quickly learned that was not a good idea. When the piriformis is tight, I get foot pain, especially at night. A few years ago when that started, I could simply roll over to my left side and the foot pain would instantly disappear. But now I either have to get up and walk a bit, or lie on my back with my knees bent. Just ordered the belt and Ligaplex. I have my fingers crossed. Thank you for the video!
Thank you! I have been suffering with hip pain for years with professionals saying it’s sciatic, but I don’t have the pain in the legs, just the hip band and now the pelvis in the front! It’s so comforting to hear someone accurately explain my pain! I’ve been being manually adjusted for years and I’ll have relief for hours to weeks and then back in pain!
Try rolling a ball on your hip flexor (psoas) the access to this is in the lower abdomen in the front. It relieves allot of hip pain.
@@katybenson4172 , where is the hip flexor? What kind of ball exactly are you talking about? Thank You!
@@katybenson4172 please, can you source a link or video.
Oh sorry yes I've been doing massage for 21 years and the gun helps but really you need a softball size next to provide bone on your front side it hurts if it burns turn it is the problem just stay in it for 30 seconds and it will start to dad move around until to find another sore spot. It really works. It's the hip flexors you can only get to it from the front
It's also called the psoas.
So glad I found this video. I’ve had “low back” pain that comes/comes and seems randomly. When doing just regular activities. Hadn’t felt it in a while but it got triggered the other day by just leaning down and forward to pick something up.
Thankyou for your calm, friendly and hopeful demeanor. This much pain is scary and your destabilizing, your bedside manner helps.
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!
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!
Malinda you have to do some exercise no matter how overweight . Crawl if you can't walk
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.
@@joannedavis1991 yoga?
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! (:
I’m in a lot of pain and can’t figure out why. Going down all the routes… ran across this video and have never heard of this. On the verge of tears because this explains everything for me. Thank you sir!!
I no how u feel very thankful knowledge
I agree with you! Wish I lived near San Fran so I could go to him, but I'm in Michigan
Me too! (not being a feminist) I wish I had seen this video like 35 years ago.
I’ve had many surgeries from broken bones, torn ligaments and muscles. I’ve never had excruciating pain as my SI joint is giving me. Wasn’t able to walk for 3 months. I’m finally getting the surgery to fix it but yea never had pain like this
Prolotherapy helped my unstable SI joint....It grew me new ligaments! Osteopathic Drs are the best....
Thank you for sharing your experience with prolotherapy. I think in cases where it is appropriate prolotherapy is an amazing option and I agree there are a lot of great DO’s out there.
Unbelievably your description of symptoms made me think about how long I have been feeling them!!! Absolutely going to try the belt!! Thank you so much for doing the video!!
Thanks for the presentation. I have stiffness in the whole of my lower back and upper ribs on the left side which has been like that for many years. I am now doing exercises to help strengthen my muscles but the stiffness is still there. Mainly on the left side but also in all of the sacrum.
Thank you so much! This is the most simple, but thorough explanation of SI joint pain that I’ve seen. It has given me so much hope after years of pain. Thank you!
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.
Thank you so much for watching. Glad you found my content helpful and that you got some clarity. Wishing you the best and that you get to feeling 100% soon!
These injections are amazing. I broke my back during the Gulf War in 1991 but docs said it was muscle and gave me Motrin to take 800 mg four times daily as I could not stand up straight. No X-rays, etc. I lived with the pain sev more years on active duty and retired with over 20 years seven years later still in pain. After retiring, pain got worse. After many VA doctors and two civilian docs, one doc said I needed back surgery which was supposed to be easy and be over in three hours. When in surgery the Neurosurgeon found many things that didn’t show on bone scans, MRI’s and CT Scans. This was 15 years after initial break. The surgery lasted 8.5 hours and the surgeon couldn’t understand why I wasn’t paralyzed and how I dealt with the pain. I had 8 rods/screws put in my low back. The pain was worse after surgery. Bone scans showed I had broke my left hip which I didn’t know. Years go by in bad pain. I was hurting in my hips, groin, and low back. I got two SI Injections which took 10 minutes. Within two days, no hip pain or low back pain was minimal. So far after 5 days my sciatic pain is still there but time can tell. I recommend SI Injections. Not painful at all but relief is tremendous.
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!
Thank you for your videos. I was going to say exactly what natalia said below. I'm hoping my SI joint improves by following your recommendations and working with my PT. Everything you described is what I've been working through in the past 2 years. I used to be a runner, but now can barely walk 20 min or stand without pain. Educating myself helps me understand what to do and not ddo. Definitely subscribed!
Good video, very informative. As you were describing the symptoms of SI Joint instability, I was mentally checking almost every box. My injuries happened over 20 years ago when I had 2 hard falls onto my right butt cheek with my wallet being right there. I had problems for a few years where if I sat for long periods of time my right leg would go numb. Recently in a twisting fall with my foot stuck, I pretty much destroyed my ankle requiring surgery with a plate, screws, a tight rope and ligament reattachment. Since then using crutches and a knee scooter to get around has caused a flame up of a lot of the old problems. I am so glad I saw this video an plan on contacting a local chiropractor for treatment along with getting the belt. Thanks for giving me a direction to head.
I have been getting adjustments 4 to 7 times a month for almost 3 years, with very short term relief. When you described symptoms I kept saying "that's me". This is the first time I felt hopeful. Thank you.
Linda, thank you so much for watching. Don't lose hope and hang in there.
Try massage instead. Thats too much adjustment too long.. they should have had you fixed. See a PT
After watching this, im almost 95% sure this is what I've been dealing with for the last several years. Ive tried chiropractors, massage therapy, and x-rays. Thank you so much for the very informative and detailed video!
I can't believe how lucky I am to have had this video come up in my feed. I have been in pain for years but the second I put on the Serola band, my pain decreased significantly. Thank you so much!
Hi Stacy,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so glad that the Serola SI belt helped you feel instant pain relief. What a wonderful thing! Take care.
The world needs more healthcare practitioners like you! It's clear that your motivation truly is to help people and provide quality information! Your videos are really trustworthy and empowering, and are much appreciated - thank you.
THANK YOU!!! I have been in pain for YEARS. Multiple doctors, x-rays, ER trips because I couldn't stand it anymore, OMT, chiropractors... literally I have been wearing the belt a few days and my back is SOOOO much better. All these years and people and no one ever suggested it. I am also taking the joint supplements... I've stopped doing the exercises that exacerbate the pain for now. Thank you, my god
I've had this pain for 30 years. Doctors, Chiropractors and Specialists never addressed this even when I told them where he pain is all the time. I ordered the belt and it will arrive tomorrow. Thank You Positive Motion Chiropractic. I also subscribed and clicked the bell for all your videos.
Hi Wayne,
I’m glad that this video resonated with you. Hopefully what you learned and using the belt will help you feel tons better. Fingers crossed!
And thanks for the subscribing!
I just saw this today and have ordered the belt. How has it gone for you so far?
Wow, this was enlightening. I’ve been dealing with SI joint issues for decades, they worsened during pregnancy almost 22 years ago. I recently started a yoga program and found the condition worsen, after watching this it now makes sense why. I’ve contemplated a return back to a chiropractor but will take a look at the SI belt and your recommendations. Thank you very much.
I had my baby 23 years ago and the Dr told me if I wanted to have another baby I would be on bed rest for the whole pregnancy or they would have to move my screws nope because of that injury I chose to never have anymore kids
I suggest you Google EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) hypermobile type. Female hormones can increase ligament laxity which is why so many women have issues with load bearing joints during pregnancy (also during certain times through menstrual cycle).
It’s not too uncommon to break your coccyx during pregnancy, as well.
I’m suffering from a broken coccyx and all of the surrounding muscles and ligaments that have been affected, including SI instability.
Good luck
Excellent video. Years of doing all the wrong exercise. Thank you
What a great video and you explained and demonstrated everything so well.
As a former massage therapist and former yoga instructor and I get regular adjustments I learned so much. ❤
That was the best information I have ever gotten! I have suffered with this for over 8 years so many Chiropractic appointments and never had an SI diagnosis. This makes complete sense for all my pain issues! Thank you so much for this video!
Hi Nettie,
You are certainly welcome! Thank you for your comment and I hope you will be able to heal fully and be pain free soon!
have you tried any of this yet ??
Seriously, Thank you thank you! I have h-eds and all the fun that comes with that gumby life. I've seen so many doctors complaining of pain in si joint= mri, xrays(flexing), epidurals or dr focusing solely on my L4/5 fusion and/ scar tissue and excusing my complaints. So i turned to UA-cam and thankfully here is this gentleman who actually addresses hypermobility as an issue with it. Thank you for the advice. I'm in the valley so i might just come out to the bay for a visit.
I have watched a lot of SI videos and this was incredible. By far the best. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Tears come into my eyes. Thank you so much. I have been to Neurologist, Chiropractors, sport medicine MD, I have Physical therapy multiple sessions and yet no one can diagnosed my problem. Something I don’t want to say I am in pain because I feel like the will judge me or thing that I am crazy. You describe my signs and symptoms to the T. Thank you so much. I have this pain for almost 12 years up to tonight after watching your video I can’t finally know what is wrong with me. Again thank you so much🙏
For over a year I have been struggling with pain down my left leg. Sitting, walking, standing for any length of time was difficult. After MRI and ultrasound no source for the pain could be found. This video came up as a recommendation and my first reaction was, that's me. I have started to use an SI belt and I can't believe the relief it has given me. I was beginning to think I might have to give up my home and yard simply because it was too difficult to keep everything up. This video has given me hope that I don't have to just learn to live with the pain but actually get rid of it. Thank you so much and also for your encouragement to keep looking for a solution.
I can’t thank you enough for making this video. The pain was interfering with every aspect of my life. I was beyond miserable. Since I started wearing the belt I have improved tremendously. I feel like living again. You changed my life!
