I can't believe that after 10 years of treating my sciatica with antiinflamatories, destroying my stomach andnot being able to walk sometimes for 2 weeks. I find out here a perfect description of my problem and my diagnostic. One of the most bitter sweet moments of my life.
Hello Analog Girl, I am glad you found my content helpful. I am very sorry to hear you have been in pain for so long. I hope you get back to feeling better soon. Hang in there.
Hello, I just wanted to say that you are the most intelligent chiropractor that I have ever seen. All my life chiropractors would not touch me. I was born with a SI problem and should have been put in a body cast, the doctor told my mother that I would probably outgrow the problem, never did. It has gotten worse with life. When I was a grade schooler I always wore down my right shoe, my father would yell at me. At age 18 I was falling all the time and hospitalizes for a month at a time, terrible testing.. Now at 68 years old the doctors want to do surgery, both legs and feet have neuropathy and continue to fall. I will not have surgery now. I think that if You had been around when I was younger I may not have had all the problems that I have now. I am hoping that someone else can find you and get the help I could have had. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story and your kind words. I too hope that many people that need the information that I have will be able to find it on UA-cam. What an amazing platform for helping people increase their understanding of their body and things that they can work with professionals to help. My prayers are with you.🙏🏼
Medicine was so different back then. Culture too was differnt. Being yelled at for wearing out your shoes...too bad no one exlained to your parents the car tire analogy. That ciuld have helped but instead our culture back then blamed the child for anything it seems. With that said, I beleive the Bible when it says the sins are visitrd upon the children 4 generations. Even before I knew that it the Bible I knew children pick up the problems of the parents. It takes true love to have a healthy life. I'm sorry for your sufferings. I hope you have peace these days.
It’s amazing how you manage to simplify this complex issue so that an average person can understand and see exactly how those orthotics work to help stabilize the body. Thank you!
I have found your videos to be extremely helpful. Especially this one! I found some exercises in another of your videos on SI joints and have been doing them daily. I’m finding that I’m feeling better and making improvements, slow but sure!
@@PositiveMotionChiro thank you, it started in my feet, and now my s/ i joint is killing me on my right side. Into my hip and thigh as well. I just ordered that belt and ligament supplement. so we'll see what happens 🤷♂️
This video has just solved my chronic left side sciatica. I can't wait to discuss it with my pain management doctor when I get another injection in my hip.
You channel is AMAZING!! I live with chronic pain and live in a very small town and no help. Your videos are huge eye openers! I had no idea how much the gluteus medius are important to be strengthened!
YOU’RE SO RIGHT! I had serious life-long sacroiliac pain, especially when I went to bed every night. I was also born with my left lower leg turned in at 25-30°. I was flat footed. At the age 52 I had surgery to correct the rotational deformity at Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, Robert Rozbruch, MD. Both “shin bones” had to be surgically broken, and a metal rod from the knee to the ankle was installed. It cured my horrible sacral pain. It pulled my arch into place, and it corrected the knocked knee. Very painful surgery but worth it!
I am from the UK, the NHS is terrible, for ages I was telling my physiotherapist that I had a problem with my feet, shown them the wear on my trainers and nothing, they even discharged me to be referred to a service for mental health, they are the ones that are crazy because they couldn't open their eyes to see what is clearly a foot problem. I have seen private specialists who all ignored me, I kept saying the problem with the SI Joint is my feet, and a private medical specialist discharged me too! Finally, I found your video and it all fits, this is so important and I thank you so much for this video. I wish I could find a specialist like you in the UK, the so called medical people here do not want to help people, they just make people worse, sure they made me worse by trying to destroy my life with morphine and fentanyl, I stopped taking it all, thank god.
This video was more helpful than any dr I have seen for my chronic SI and hip pain!! Like seriously I needed this! Now if only I could find a dr who could help me get the proper orthotics! I knew my feet were messed up I’ve had 2 surgeries when I was younger no one seems to care now bc “you are young and healthy” WRONG! Pain is a sign of something amiss
Hello Christy Chalgren, It sounds like you have been through a lot. Thank you for sharing your experience. I do hope you are on your way to feeling better soon. Hang in there!
OMG, THANK YOU! Last night, your Simple Solutions to SI Joint Pain video showed up in my feed and it is AMAZING! I immediately had a sacroiliac belt overnighted to me, and I'm overjoyed today from the relief of YEARS of pain instantly. Now watching this video, it's all coming together. I've had posterior tibial pain for most of my life. I feel stuck at a dead-end in terms of finding permanent relief for the PTT pain but making the connection between that and the SI pain is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in these videos. Keep 'em coming! :)
I came across your videos and it was like storm clouds suddenly cleared. I have always lived with Fibromylagia but in the last two years it has been almost unbearable. We also made the mistake of trying out a bed topper that was too soft and I was almost imobile after a month. I really think its my feet and the way I walk and I immediately made an appointment with a Sports Medicine Doctor at our Local Pan Am Clinic. Thank you so much for putting this information out there!
I've just discovered your videos, and they are uncovering all the answers I've been searching for with my chronic pain all my life. THANK YOU so much and please, please continue putting out more content. Your method of explaining and depth of content is extrodinary.
Finally! A video that explained and illustrated anatomy and physiology. I have been researching and working with professionals for over a year now, trying to figure out why I have had chronic pain and muscular imbalances and tenderness! This video put all the pieces together with effective visuals !
I knew it was my foot! I've been wearing down the outside of my left heel as a child. This left foot is now causing knee pain and I have had left hip problems for years. It never occurred to me it was my foot until I noticed a difference in my feet 2 months ago. Thank you for this!
I’ve had ongoing SI pain for a long time. Also the sensitivity at the inner knee. It never occurred to me that this might be my feet! Thank you so much! I will have this checked out!
I'm glad that you found my video on SI joint pain and the connection to your feet. I hope it will help you get more out of your time with your doctors.
Thank you so much. My SI joint issues have been accompanied by severe feet cramping and pain. After watching this video, I immediately bought Super Feet and they arrived the next day. The minute I stood with them in my shoes, I could feel a positive shift. I still need to work out tightness in my feet, but I am feeling very optimistic. Thank you for your generous, wise, and kind service.
I bought shoes at REI, Oboz. the smartest pair of shoes I ever purchased. I am a person that loves being barefoot and flip flops. the worse thing for me... I had back surgery years ago. but these last few years I've started falling easily. I have spurs on my bones in my hips. visible in xrays, my hips are shot. i can make it about 2 months with cortisone shots. I don't do pain pills. With CoVid19, getting in to get help has been impossible. I do NOT wish this pain on anyone. I need to get the SI belt. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this info.
Hello Just Doing Chelle It sounds like you have been through a lot. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you get to feeling 100% soon. Take Care.
I am a retired RN who worked for years w Altras. Love those shoes. I wore some hiking boots birding this winter and had a BAD SI joint issue on L that was awful! I now attribute it to my feet and weak IT band weakness. Thx, love this!!
Altras are the best (for wider feet)!!! It is amazing all the connections in the body isn’t it? Thank you for all your work as an RN! I have many RNs in my family. A great profession.
Thank you for this very informative video. I developed SI joint issues this year after trying to do straddles/side splits and performing deep hip stretches daily. I perfected my regular splits and became more flexible than ever. The more pain I felt, the more I stretched, and unwittingly, exacerbated my problem. I did learn a long time ago that an imbalance in one part of the body can create imbalances throughout since the body tries to correct itself; so it makes sense that I have scapula problems on my left side and left knee issues and now my hip problem is on my right side. In my search to fix this, I’ve learned a lot more about anatomy thanks to you and others. Your exercises have helped me a lot and I’m working on creating hip stability to eliminate piriformis syndrome. And you might know this already since you had a left ankle injury, but I noticed your left shoulder slopes slightly lower than your right shoulder. I consciously try to keep my posture straight and need a visual cue sometimes because what feels “straight” to me sometimes isn’t. I practice lying straight and it feels crooked, so I’m trying to recognize this new feeling of being aligned.
You are a very astute listener and observer. Quite impressive! My right shoulder is elevated due to a severe AC separation injury I had in my late teens. The surgery left my right clavicle at my AC joint elevated so while my scapula are of similar heights my right shoulder appears higher than my left. Great catch! Take care.
I have hypermobility myself (with or without Ehlers danlos, not had a gentic test) so always have been very limber. Stretching for hypermobility is a double edge sword, we injure easily but it feels sooo good to stretch, but can exacerbate joint problems. It can cause widespread pain, fatigue and general anxiety disorder without a known trigger. Orthopedics do have hypermobility knowledge but nothing like they should know as if we do too much damage thats who's going to operate on it, if not them, then the neurologist. Can't stand straight or lay straight - my teen scoliosis went away, but returned in my 30s now its a double sway. Pushing my stomach forward
I have SI joint pain, plantar fasciitis, and knee pain all on the left side. I always assumed they were related, but this video really helped spell it out for me. Greatly appreciated! Edited to add: pain near my scapula as well (left side!)
Wow, very eye opening! I've been experiencing pain for 4+ years & have been to numerous doctors, pt, chiro, acupuncture... you name it. Plus many MRIs, CT scans. All say nothing is wrong, yet I am in extreme pain night & day.
Thank you for this video. I’m a subscriber now. I have been in pain for nearly a year. It started at my inner knee and escalated to a severe attack in what I learned was my SI joint, in which I ended up in the hospital. I do have tightness and pain in the areas you said to check. I’ve been to multiple doctors, chiropractors, physiotherapists, acupuncturists, massage therapists and no one has been able to help. It’s been frustrating and depressing. For this entire time, I’ve been saying, “I feel like this hip problem is related to my knee.” Everyone says, “It probably is,” but not one person has said that we should look at my feet, and no one has been able to offer a solution. I got referred to a pain specialist who was supposed to give me a steroid shot in my hip, but I’ve been waiting for three months for them to all me back, and I see now that will be a short term solution anyway. But now I’m going to call the podiatrist as soon as they open today. Why can’t MD’s look at the body holistically to determine the root cause of a problem? They only look at the site of the pain, do an x-ray, CT, MRI, and say, “Nope. It not that. Bye!” Every part of my body, except my feet have been scanned or checked for this issue…Your video gives me a bit of hope that I might find some relief. I have been wearing OTC orthotics for years and do wear good quality shoes, but maybe I need a different type/ customization of orthotic.
Oh my …. This is exactly what I’ve been dealing with for years. Thank you for your visual explanation of how I developed piriformis syndrome, lumbar spondylolithesis, and cervical anteriolithesis. I appreciate your exercises for SI joint dysfunction; your teachings are invaluable.
This is what I have been looking for…someone who explains why I have the pains I have! Thank you! I will use your advice and find someone who can help my body heal the right way, besides having to take pain meds! I’m so over it!
I hope you find a good doctor who can help you get back to feeling balanced and pain-free. And I'm glad you found my video and found it helpful. Take care!
I am very thankful for your videos! I feel like I have learned a lot about why I am experiencing the pain I have, and what I can do to help myself find some relief from all this pain. The information you give in your videos is a blessing!! Keep up the good work.
I Ike your explanation on every subject. It’s very detailed and that’s why it’s so helpful. I’m a tap dancer and had a nasty accident this February. I slipped on an icy surface, but didn’t fall bc I’m trained how not to , but it was so sudden that my body didn’t respond as it would in a dance setting I suppose. My spine went zig zag and I felt pain in two spots. In a couple of weeks I started to feel pain while dancing and it became more severe. I did an MRI and it came out with 3 bulged disks in lumbar part of my spine. Two of them were from 6 years ago injury, I believe. So, I stopped dancing for a month and started a PT, acupuncture and every time I felt some progress I’d re injured myself by making a tiny move in a twisting or bending over direction. Long story short- I stopped going to PT and acupuncture and started studying all I can by myself. I’m very grateful I found your videos.
Hello Irina Knust, I am glad you found my video helpful. I hope you get back to feeling 100% so you can do what you love, DANCE. Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you!! My hip pain started about 3 years ago. So many chiropractors, physical therapists, nutritionists and now during this video I traced it back to when I got a new pair of running shoes and did not put my Super Feet insoles in them. When I heard you say Super Feet, the clarity of my long road of pain came into view! Wow, just wow! I found them in my closet (with intentions to buy new ones years ago) and put them in a good pair of tennis shoes to starting wearing. Thank you!! I’m also going to try the band around my hips from another video of yours b/c at this point I have constant pain, NO adduction ability and CANNOT sit. The road ahead might long, but I feel like I’m finally going in the right direction. Thank you!
I have had increasing issues with joint pain that has now reached my lower back. Looking back it all started at my feet and slowly moved up over the years. Thanks for the advice and direction, very helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, you do a service to the community. I have learned so much from your videos, and now can attack my SI joint issues. Thank you so much for caring and you’re an amazing contact!
Fantastic information ❣️❣️. As a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist, and or who can identify with S I pain, this information is beyond great! Very good information!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Lorrieann2u, thanks for subscribing to my channel! I'm glad that you have found my content to be helpful. 😊 And thanks for being a CMT. Massage therapy helps so many people. 🙏🏼
I used to do tis work as a chiropractic assistant. I gradually specialized in antalgic posture. Often orthotics were the best option to support the posture to avoid the pain [antalgic] while the cause of the asymmetric motion was corrected and repaired. A common source of the asymmetry was rotational subluxation at T12/L1 interfering with the psoas minor placing the center of gravity over the weight bearing foot. It is the first thing I would look for with a low left shoulder as you manifested in the video.
@@MrBrianPhillips My experience is that SI joint pain is more often repetitive use stress rather than a subluxation. I am not allowed to make a diagnosis but do a motion palpation of the joints assessment to see if I can do treatment witin my scope of practice. I adjust muscle response not the joint.
This is the most interesting information I’ve heard in year’s. I’ve spent a grand for a set of soft to hard supports and all they did was make my knees and back hurt worse. Your information has really helped.
Oh and something I forgot to mention reading all the comments. I've been having lower back pain for some time. I've gone into the MD for help multiple times. When I was waking up at night in pain and then lying in bed in the morning trying to figure out how I was going to get out of bed I made that last appointment. I told the doctor again the symptoms. I was not interested in medication of any kind. I wanted help. He told me I was old and had to learn to live with the pain. Yep. That's what he said. Didn't go back. Thanks for the presentation! I now know what it could be and will keep watching. I will be looking for a doctor out of town.
This is the best diagnosis of my SI issue! I've had problems for 6+ years. I've been to 4 different chiropractors, 3 orthopedics and a pediatrist. Everyone said it's a knee issue since the majority of the pain ran into the knee... Resulting in knee surgery making matters worse. Just recently now broke my femur since (just as you explained) my pronation caused my body to compensate to the lateral side of the foot. Well, that went too far and snapped. Yes, you are absolutely right! It's the feet! I'm subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to other videos, exercises, etc. ❤️😇
I came across your videos after looking into Si pain. I have recently started going to a new chiropractor that does decompression therapy. I have just got custom orthodics and he has recommended an si belt. Your videos have made me understand the reasons and importance. I am 48 and overweight. Been driving truck for 22 years in construction and my back is ruined and hope to lose weight and get things back on track.
So thankful for your in depth explanations of the root causes of SI pain. I have one leg shorter also which requires me to insert a lift in my shoe along with my orthotic. My clinical symptoms are demonstrated exactly the way you explained.
Thank you for sharing your experience Janice. Yes, leg length difference and the need for a heel lift is another whole element of how feet can effect the SI joint that I didn’t include in this video. Thank you for your comment.
I think finally someone has an answer to my years of trying to get relief . I met seeng my podiatrist for foot been it increasing got worse over the past 17 years every dr I saw said Nerve e damage and nerve spasms . I’ve see every specialist known to man had foot surgery back surgery to get this horrible pain out of pain nothing worked I’ve had everyone that’s seen my case say they never seen anything like it . No one has been able to help me .
Hello Fran and Kevin Klein, It sounds like you have been through a lot. I am glad my video was helpful to you. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you find someone that is able to help with your pain. Take Care.
What you are presenting here and how you are presenting it is amazing. Thanks so much! All you describe here applies to me and I have been wondering where these problems came from for decades. Now I know. You gave me a wonderful „Aha!“ moment. Now I’m going to try your solution. Again: Thank you! I subscribed instantly.
I had this SI joint paint since 5 months on and off and I found out that by myself … docs all Say it’s inflammation in the lower back and tension im the muscles … that’s the exact pain I had in my legs and still they said it’s from the back… today when I was wearing a little high Schoe then I felt that my feet are not straight they goes left and right …the pain is getting more especially since I stand at my new work … came across your videos and all make sense even though I believe that there’s for sure a psychological reasons from what we think and manifested in our bodies but you are one of the best doctors who looks for the causes and not only the symptoms.. appreciate your videos and I hope for having doctors like you here in Germany 🤗
Thank you for sharing your experience. I too believe that the mind is very powerful and has a significant role to play in most pain. Thank you for your comment!
You are Amazing! The way you explain the anatomy helps people fully understand why they are in pain. After being semi-bedridden for 45 years, I now understand how to get the help I need. I cannot thank you enough for your videos to get rid of my lifelong pain.
Thank you so much Dianne OBrien. It makes me so happy to know that my video was helpful. I am sorry to hear you have been in pain and I hope you get to feeling better soon. Hang in there.
Thank you for articulating the issues I have suffered with my entire life. I am in my second round of physical therapy this year started with a referral from the podiatrist to now a referral from the Neurologist for Siatic nerve next I am going to have a referral for PT for muscle spasms in my back always in the area you pointed out. God bless you and your ability to share with us. Thank you
It sounds like you have been through a lot. Thank you for sharing your journey. I hope you are on your way to feeling better soon. Hang in there dottyd76.
@@PositiveMotionChiro Thank you very much for your kind words and well wishes! Yes I am going through a lot of suffering but I am trusting God to heal me and hope me until my change comes. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis on Friday now I believe there is an issue with my spine that is not being diagnosed. Many blessings to you and your work!
I developed sciatica pain recently, and I think it stems from my shoes being worn out,as I walk my dog at least an hour a day. I went to the shoe store and got a pair of new Brooks Ghost 14 and New Balance 1080V11, and they feel much better. So does my sciatica.
I invite you to consider start drinking distilled water. All the minerals people consume from water causes the kidneys to be overworked (as the body cannot effectively absorb inorganic minerals, from water). That being stated, so much of society’s arthritic, sciatic, even Alzheimer’s/dementia, and more, is from a build up of these minerals, in the body.
Hello Stevn Lundgrin, Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel. I am glad you found my content helpful. Happy to hear you are feeling better! Take care.
This makes so much sense. My shoes do this very thing and my feet turn in , which in turn has my calf muscles sore and my SI joint has been killing me for years. I’m definitely going to look into these insoles for sure. Thank you for the in depth video sir.
It's a pity your not in Ireland. I'm 56 and have had hip, feet and knee pain for most of my life and after spending thousands of euros on chiropractors, shoes, insoles etc I'm still in pain. This is the first time I've had it explained to me so well. I'll will be for sure watching more of your videos, thank you.
Your video was really informative and makes so much sense. I have lumber disc herniation but also had an op on my right phallux rigidus 3 yrs ago so I can't kick off with that toe anymore. My knee on the left and the hip and groin on the right side have become progressively worse with constant pain. The doctor says I have arthritis which is more than likely at 70 yes of age. However I realise that I have pronation and have been flat footed most of my life and your video makes so much sense I can't wait to see the podiatrist. Thank you for your time in making this video. the comments I've read from other people are amazing.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience Lynda Wood. It makes me happy to know my content was helpful. I hope you are on your way to finding the care you need to start feeling better! Take care.♥️
Thank you for all your marvellous teaching. You are an incredible teacher, so articulate with a calming voice too. I am a 65 year old English female and ex heptathlete and used to be very one sided because of continually taking off on one foot. This showed up as knee pain and then pain in SI joint which my chiropractor corrected and stableised. So I know I have week SI joints. Last year I fell and landed on my rear and crushed L1 and L2 ( I also have osteoporosis now). I had a vertoplasty and hardly any pain from the breaks but incredible pain months afterwards in my much lower lumbar region which no doctor could find reason for. I couldn’t even walk my dog. The docs were still looking when I fell again in the identical way. X ray showed no breaks but the same pain in the same place was 10 times worse. I got researching and came across your Chanel. I started to do a few of your exercises to correct my SI joint and the very next morning I felt a little less pain. Hey presto. I’ll let you know how much further I progress but just wanted to thank you so much. Oh and I have sent for Serola SI belt. Brenda
Another nugget of knowledge in my quest to resolve a 40-year old SI pain issue. I do have a small amount of uneven heel wear, but no pain in the legs/hips, nor hip rotation. HOWEVER...for almost exactly the same length of time, I have had problems with the muscles just inside/along the scapula. I had always assumed it was because I lifted heavy when I was young, and as I have a long torso I figured it was weak lower traps or rhomboids getting pulled. But I'm beginning to suspect it's not that simple. Fascinating stuff.
It sounds like you have been through a lot hal900x. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am glad you found my content helpful and I hope you find the are you need to live pain free! Take care.
If your feet are the problem, but they are causing pain in your knees, hips, and upper back, which doctor do we see to help alleviate the problem? Because the knee, hip, and the back doctors will not address the feet and the feet doctor will not address those other areas. They only look at what you claim to be hurting.
Same thing I struggle with foot doctors don’t help with the knee,hip,back pain. Orthotics not working for my legs feel so weak I’m overcompensated my weight now to left side
Wow I enjoyed so much to watch your video so clear so come So knowledgeable so different from the other UA-cam I’ve seen so deep understanding the cause of the problem , i’m so excited that I found you !thank you so much for your giving I already Forward your UA-cam for four friends of mine🌻🙏
I find it important to say that a stronger wear on the lateral heel side is the normal result of a physiological gait after wearing your shoes for a longer time. For the following bodymechanical reason: You need an emphasized pressure on the lateral heel in ortder to push your body into a rotational pattern of forward movement. In other words, if you have the same extent of wear on both sides of the heal you will most likely have a lack of rotation in your gait. This might also be accompanied by decreased length of stride and limited arm swing. To be precise, the postural problem is not primarily a lack of pronation, it's a lack of muscle activity to build up the lateral (and longitudinal) arch of the foot. This is mostly common knowledge in European Physiotherapy
I have had a problem with leg hip and SI joint pain for years. After watching this I dug out some old insoles for pronation and it resolved within a few days! Thank you so much for making this connection for me
I've had SI joint pain for years. Thank you for confirming the weakness in Glut Meds being a problem, I've been working to strengthen them. And I think I finally understand what my body has been trying to tell me about my orthotics being an issue. They were custom fitted to me 15 years ago as a teen when I weighed less. Great informative video!
Yes, the feet can play a really important role in our knees, hips, and SI joints. I'm glad my video on the sacroiliac joint and the connection to the feet resonated with you.
Thank you so much for your "easy to understand " video. I suffer from SI joint pain. I also have arthritis is my right foot. I never thought to mention to my podiatrist my SI issue but now I will. By you showing showing the laser example was extremely helpful. Thank you so much for mentioning those muscles which shows weakness on the side.
Check if your Achilles tendon is vertical or if it curves inwards, you may have a muscular disease that causes it i can't think of the name ill Google it
Dr., very informative video. I suffer from a Leg Length discrepancy. My right leg is 1 inch shorter than my left. I'm 70 YO. In 1966, playing HS Football, I fractured the right femur, I was 15 years old. After the 6 weeks of traction in the hospital, and 3 months in a full body cast, when the doctor cut off the cast, he was bewlidered at how much my right leg was shorter than the left. My parents and really shame on the Ortho Doctor at that time, never presctibed that I shopuld wear an adjusted shoe for the rest of my life. That Trauma and body affliction has wreaked HAVOC. I now suffer with SI joint pain and inflammation, Lumbar and Cervical stenosis at various levels, Facet Joint arthritis, DDD (too bad I didn't drink water ... so important for Spinal Disc Health), arthritis in both Hips, knee pain and foot pain , almost exactly as you describe here. Flat footed too since I can remember. I differ with you in one major regard: I beleive from my experience, that the SI Joint Dysfunction is the major contributor to the calf and foot pains, instead of your info here of the feet affecting the SI joints... Nonetheless, this is extremely informative. My Rheumatologist after examining me for RA (negative for that), and then AS (negative), indicated that the SI Joints are the Motherlode of Spinal health... Everything is affected by those 2 joints. The LLD for which I really did mnothing about fo decades (finally making real shoe adjustments only 12 years ago), has distorted my spine with 25 degree Dextroscoliosis too. In my case, the maladies have traversed all the way up to the cervical spine with disc herniations, DDD, Military Neck causing a series of afflictions: Chronic Sinusitis, TMJ issues, Temporal pain and tension, IBS, and on and off chest pain , rib cage stiffness,.. I have started to wear Orthodics prescribed by a Podiatrist only a year ago. No real help yet. My currehnt Chiro says those Hard Orhodics are not good, she wants to order new ones pursuant to her analysis. But your info is far more extensive with very finite adjustments and inserts , especially for the one leg. I will subsribe to your Channel and watch all your other Videos. THX for doing this. Knowledge is POWER
Wow! You have been through a lot. Yes, an anatomical leg length difference like you acquired from your injury when you were 15 is really significant and has ramifications throughout the body as you detailed. I am glad that you haven't given up, that you keep searching for knowledge and that you are working with medical professionals. Thank you for your comment and feedback on my video. I hope that you will continue to find answers and keep feeling better and better. Take care!
I’m also interested in how the Dr feels about the reverse situation you’re describing. I had a traumatic fall/fracture to the coccyx with ongoing SI joint pain that is progressing to the hip, knee and now foot. Any clarification on this would be most appreciated.
Wow! I believed that my high arches, foot pain, multiple lateral ankle sprains, constant pain high on the outside/back of my right calf, sore hamstring and chronic pain in the SI joint were all related. I've been to my D.O., multiple physical therapists, pool therapy, the podiatrist, the OMM clinic at the state university, had nerve conduction studies, in treatment at a pain clinic, and spent years in chiropractic treatment and none of them ever suggested my arch might be falling, causing pronation and the whole cascade of pain! Physiotaping did help the foot and ca9lf pain, and regular chiro adjustments helped keep the SI pain manageable, but no one ever suggested orthotics(and the wear on the outside of the heel of my shoe is clearly visible!) I recently moved and was trying to figure out what health profession to start all over with to find long lasting relief. You've given me hope! Thank you!
Hello LuAnn Frost, You are so welcome! I am happy to hear my video was helpful. Hope you get to feeling much better soon. Thank you so much for watching, we appreciate YOU.
Y'all... I have been on a journey. For the last 11 months I've been in pain. Muscle tension like I didn't know was possible. My back and hip were so bad I couldn't sit, drive, stand for too long. As a last ditch effort before seeking surgery, I went to an osteopath. He has me doing postural exercises. While doing foot circles last night, my right foot popped and I gained a new range of motion. Suddenly, all of the tension in my leg, hip, and back was gone. 🤯 I've had two ankle sprains so that ankle is very weak. I can't believe my ankle caused ALL of my debilitating pain for the past year.
@@polpolpol99 I'm still on that journey. The ankle exercises helped in the short term but my biggest issue is my glutes not firing correctly. My upper glutes are too active and my lower glutes (Max and Medius) are underworking. The foot exercises I was doing is foot circles while pointing toes. And then point and flex the foot leading with the toes. Try to do each for 40 reps on each foot.
@tracymoss7210 my issues also started after an ankle injury. I wore a medical boot for 3 months which affected my gait. Now I have SI joint pain daily. PT helps a little but the stiffness and pain in hips/SI/ low back never goes away.
Brilliantly clear, unsensational, instructive demonstration. Knowledge of the cause of problem as well as possible solutions are great therapies. Thank you Dr. Pederson.
Hallelujah! Nice to see a DC discussing the importance of the feet on the rest of the body. As a therapeutic massage therapist I find compensations resulting from restricted ROM of the feet and ankles as a major cause of symptoms elsewhere in the body. Before turning to orthodeics I suggest the person lengthen shortened muscles first, then strengthen the weak areas, which usually means isolateral strengthening. The challenge is determining where the imbalances originate. Do you have recommendations on resources that might help with functional assessment?
Hi! I liked your comment! I also like your profession! Working side by side with DC’s gives patients the best of the best experience and outcomes! I need to talk to you!!
physical therapist can test for muscle and ROM imbalances why? is it not obvious? think of an old fashion scale gotta adjust one side or the other to achieve balance or a foundation of a building
Finally!!! This is all I have told my doctors for like 3 years. I have a collapsed left ankle my hips hurt at night sometimes during the day, outer leg hurts, lower back pain ,cant sleep on my side either. Have to take muscle relaxers to fall asleep with advil. I was becoming concerned and miserable… I know taking meds every night cant be good.. Thank you!!!
This has helped me sleuth out the issues I have been having with my left knee, si joint and outside of my foot. I am going to start using the superfeet inserts that I have, and also seek out a DC or podiatrist near me. Thank you!!
Pinched nerve in hip caused complete paralysis in my leg, especially the foot. Once I started to get feeling back, ended up with CRPS in foot The only reason why my foot doesn't currently have a swollen neuroma? Choice of shoes. Found things to help Mortons Neuroma, like separation of the toes or toe bars on base. Birkenstocks work for me. Still cannot walk more than a few feet in fully enclosed shoes regardless of how well made they are, CRPS foot needs more foot room. My foot doesn't roll in shoes with deep heel cups, my legs are less tired, lower back hurts less, and I can walk/ stand longer than ever before. SJ injection keeps area lubed and reduced swelling. Need it once a year. If only my neck was as simple. Took 5 years to go from paralyzed to walking unaided most days, and I thank my shoes!
@@polyannamoonbeam They are my lifesaver too. Can't wear any other shoes now or crippling neuropathy returns before I can get out of the house. They are shoes a podiatrist can prescribe, which gets tax taken off.
Can you swim at all..? I go to a pool ( warm not cold) and swim on my back arms by my side. It helps. You tuck your chin down slightly and it is supposed to help straighten out the minor issues so the bigger ones don’t hurt so much. There are 2or 3 other people doing the same so it must work at least some way ?
Thank you for two of us. His longterm hip deterioration due to injury and finally hip replacement with good result has needed PT and this was very helpful to all points. My feet are super small with high arches but still wear evenly on both outside backs of the shoe. Always had great feet, not much heel use as too short, and a lot of dancing but recently sciatic and hip twist occuring so it is helpful to be aware of foot' eveness' and enhance for flex and strength at arch etc.
I've had s.i. joint pain for many years; my naturopathic doc said I have "chronically sprained s.i. joints", and wanted to do prolotherapy on them, but I knew it was a structural problem. However, I've been through several physical therapists and countless programs to try to address it. This is the first I've heard of foot problems being the culprit! But, I did break my ankle many years ago, and lately, I've had weird pains in my foot, and have thought about going back to the podiatrist. Now I am sure that's what I should do. thanks for the insight!
I'm glad that my video detailing the link between the feet and the SI joint resonated with you and I hope that working with your podiatrist will help your whole body to feel more balanced and less painful!
That was a great video. Really broke down everything in an easy understanding way. I'm flat foot and have plantar fasciitis and venous insufficiency along with herniated discs and back issues so this video means alot.
Thank you so much! This video answered my questions about all the pain in my body. The wear on the outside of the shoe was my biggest puzzle. Check into correct toes to help with pronation and collapsing arches. I tried arch supports but finding more improvement with correct toes approach and the shoes with wider toe boxes.
Correct Toes are amazing products and all the work that is done at Northwest Foot and Ankle (www.nwfootankle.com). I love their products, have had good success using them and yes having a shoe with width (especially across the transverse metatarsal arch) is so important. Thanks for your comment!
I definitely have this issue. Have been using “Powerstep” insoles for several years (morton’s neuroma both feet) but shoes still show uneven wear, and SI joint/knees/ankles are requiring adjustments every 3-4 weeks. it needs to stop (especially since my Chiropractor does not accept insurance). Thank you for this info as it can helpful formulate a path forward to more long-lasting alignment.
Birkenstocks helped me with Mortons Neuroma and it was really flared up after paralysis from the lumbosaccral nerve in my hip. Anything to separate the toes. I still have the neuroma, its shrunken up and under the toes instead of ball of foot with an abscess! Saved me. Tried socks. Dance socks, all sorts of stuff and swear by Birkenstocks.
I can't wait to try this, been hurting severely for over a year. Pain to literally stop me in my track. Sacram fracture at one point, wobble like I'm 80, I'm 67 can't take the pain any longer. I've been having the nerve ends burnt . Pressure points all over
I can't believe that after 10 years of treating my sciatica with antiinflamatories, destroying my stomach andnot being able to walk sometimes for 2 weeks. I find out here a perfect description of my problem and my diagnostic. One of the most bitter sweet moments of my life.

Hello, I just wanted to say that you are the most intelligent chiropractor that I have ever seen. All my life chiropractors would not touch me.
I was born with a SI problem and should have been put in a body cast, the doctor told my mother that I would probably outgrow the problem, never did. It has gotten worse with life. When I was a grade schooler I always wore down my right shoe, my father would yell at me. At age 18 I was falling all the time and hospitalizes for a month at a time, terrible testing.. Now at 68 years old the doctors want to do surgery, both legs and feet have neuropathy and continue to fall. I will not have surgery now. I think that if You had been around when I was younger I may not have had all the problems that I have now. I am hoping that someone else can find you and get the help I could have had. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story and your kind words. I too hope that many people that need the information that I have will be able to find it on UA-cam. What an amazing platform for helping people increase their understanding of their body and things that they can work with professionals to help. My prayers are with you.🙏🏼
Medicine was so different back then. Culture too was differnt. Being yelled at for wearing out your shoes...too bad no one exlained to your parents the car tire analogy. That ciuld have helped but instead our culture back then blamed the child for anything it seems. With that said, I beleive the Bible when it says the sins are visitrd upon the children 4 generations. Even before I knew that it the Bible I knew children pick up the problems of the parents. It takes true love to have a healthy life. I'm sorry for your sufferings. I hope you have peace these days.
Thank you! I wish I had become a chiropractor!!
It’s amazing how you manage to simplify this complex issue so that an average person can understand and see exactly how those orthotics work to help stabilize the body. Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it. It is comments like yours that make me want to work to put out more videos.
I have found your videos to be extremely helpful. Especially this one! I found some exercises in another of your videos on SI joints and have been doing them daily. I’m finding that I’m feeling better and making improvements, slow but sure!
@@PositiveMotionChiro can your s/I joint "cause" pain in both feet? Like numbness, tingling, and burning sensations?
@Jamie E not usually in my experience, but check with your doc. Take care.
@@PositiveMotionChiro thank you, it started in my feet, and now my s/ i joint is killing me on my right side. Into my hip and thigh as well. I just ordered that belt and ligament supplement. so we'll see what happens 🤷♂️

Hi doc! That is wonderful! Thank you for your comment and for helping people by giving them education to help them help themselves!
What is your opinion of zero lift shoes? I overpronate and the left foot is much worse than the right

This video has just solved my chronic left side sciatica. I can't wait to discuss it with my pain management doctor when I get another injection in my hip.
You channel is AMAZING!! I live with chronic pain and live in a very small town and no help. Your videos are huge eye openers! I had no idea how much the gluteus medius are important to be strengthened!
YOU’RE SO RIGHT! I had serious life-long sacroiliac pain, especially when I went to bed every night. I was also born with my left lower leg turned in at 25-30°. I was flat footed. At the age 52 I had surgery to correct the rotational deformity at Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, Robert Rozbruch, MD. Both “shin bones” had to be surgically broken, and a metal rod from the knee to the ankle was installed. It cured my horrible sacral pain. It pulled my arch into place, and it corrected the knocked knee. Very painful surgery but worth it!
Wow. I'm glad your surgery is a success!
I am from the UK, the NHS is terrible, for ages I was telling my physiotherapist that I had a problem with my feet, shown them the wear on my trainers and nothing, they even discharged me to be referred to a service for mental health, they are the ones that are crazy because they couldn't open their eyes to see what is clearly a foot problem. I have seen private specialists who all ignored me, I kept saying the problem with the SI Joint is my feet, and a private medical specialist discharged me too! Finally, I found your video and it all fits, this is so important and I thank you so much for this video. I wish I could find a specialist like you in the UK, the so called medical people here do not want to help people, they just make people worse, sure they made me worse by trying to destroy my life with morphine and fentanyl, I stopped taking it all, thank god.
This video was more helpful than any dr I have seen for my chronic SI and hip pain!! Like seriously I needed this! Now if only I could find a dr who could help me get the proper orthotics! I knew my feet were messed up I’ve had 2 surgeries when I was younger no one seems to care now bc “you are young and healthy” WRONG! Pain is a sign of something amiss
Hello Christy Chalgren,
It sounds like you have been through a lot. Thank you for sharing your experience. I do hope you are on your way to feeling better soon.
Hang in there!
I am liking the Xstance inserts lately. Good cushioning and a high enough supportive arch, too.
BEST video I've come across. Engaging throughout, but the laser visually demonstrating both the problem and solution is gold. Very grateful.🙏
You have described all my symptoms to a T. Shoe wear, outer calf pain , hip and mid spine. Thank you.
You are welcome Antony Bailey. Glad you found my video helpful.
This is me also!
OMG, THANK YOU! Last night, your Simple Solutions to SI Joint Pain video showed up in my feed and it is AMAZING! I immediately had a sacroiliac belt overnighted to me, and I'm overjoyed today from the relief of YEARS of pain instantly. Now watching this video, it's all coming together. I've had posterior tibial pain for most of my life. I feel stuck at a dead-end in terms of finding permanent relief for the PTT pain but making the connection between that and the SI pain is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in these videos. Keep 'em coming! :)
Hell Annick,

@PositiveMotionChirwhat is SI joint
You make more sense than anyone I’ve listened to, and you make it understandable. Thank you so much!!!
Thank YOU for watching and sharing your thoughts Dawna West! 🙏
I’ve had issues for 28 years with SI and six surgeries on my back,my pain management has never figured this out,thanks for the video!
I came across your videos and it was like storm clouds suddenly cleared. I have always lived with Fibromylagia but in the last two years it has been almost unbearable. We also made the mistake of trying out a bed topper that was too soft and I was almost imobile after a month. I really think its my feet and the way I walk and I immediately made an appointment with a Sports Medicine Doctor at our Local Pan Am Clinic. Thank you so much for putting this information out there!

I knew it was my foot! I've been wearing down the outside of my left heel as a child. This left foot is now causing knee pain and I have had left hip problems for years. It never occurred to me it was my foot until I noticed a difference in my feet 2 months ago. Thank you for this!
I’ve had ongoing SI pain for a long time. Also the sensitivity at the inner knee. It never occurred to me that this might be my feet! Thank you so much! I will have this checked out!
I'm glad that you found my video on SI joint pain and the connection to your feet. I hope it will help you get more out of your time with your doctors.
Thank you so much. My SI joint issues have been accompanied by severe feet cramping and pain. After watching this video, I immediately bought Super Feet and they arrived the next day. The minute I stood with them in my shoes, I could feel a positive shift. I still need to work out tightness in my feet, but I am feeling very optimistic. Thank you for your generous, wise, and kind service.
Wonderful! I am go glad you found my content helpful Irene Young. I hope you are on your way to feeling 100%!
I bought shoes at REI, Oboz. the smartest pair of shoes I ever purchased. I am a person that loves being barefoot and flip flops. the worse thing for me... I had back surgery years ago. but these last few years I've started falling easily. I have spurs on my bones in my hips. visible in xrays, my hips are shot. i can make it about 2 months with cortisone shots. I don't do pain pills. With CoVid19, getting in to get help has been impossible. I do NOT wish this pain on anyone. I need to get the SI belt. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this info.
Hello Just Doing Chelle
It sounds like you have been through a lot. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you get to feeling 100% soon.
Take Care.
I am a retired RN who worked for years w Altras. Love those shoes. I wore some hiking boots birding this winter and had a BAD SI joint issue on L that was awful! I now attribute it to my feet and weak IT band weakness. Thx, love this!!
Altras are the best (for wider feet)!!! It is amazing all the connections in the body isn’t it? Thank you for all your work as an RN! I have many RNs in my family. A great profession.
Thank you for this very informative video. I developed SI joint issues this year after trying to do straddles/side splits and performing deep hip stretches daily. I perfected my regular splits and became more flexible than ever. The more pain I felt, the more I stretched, and unwittingly, exacerbated my problem. I did learn a long time ago that an imbalance in one part of the body can create imbalances throughout since the body tries to correct itself; so it makes sense that I have scapula problems on my left side and left knee issues and now my hip problem is on my right side. In my search to fix this, I’ve learned a lot more about anatomy thanks to you and others. Your exercises have helped me a lot and I’m working on creating hip stability to eliminate piriformis syndrome.
And you might know this already since you had a left ankle injury, but I noticed your left shoulder slopes slightly lower than your right shoulder. I consciously try to keep my posture straight and need a visual cue sometimes because what feels “straight” to me sometimes isn’t. I practice lying straight and it feels crooked, so I’m trying to recognize this new feeling of being aligned.
You are a very astute listener and observer. Quite impressive! My right shoulder is elevated due to a severe AC separation injury I had in my late teens. The surgery left my right clavicle at my AC joint elevated so while my scapula are of similar heights my right shoulder appears higher than my left. Great catch! Take care.
I have hypermobility myself (with or without Ehlers danlos, not had a gentic test) so always have been very limber.
Stretching for hypermobility is a double edge sword, we injure easily but it feels sooo good to stretch, but can exacerbate joint problems.
It can cause widespread pain, fatigue and general anxiety disorder without a known trigger.
Orthopedics do have hypermobility knowledge but nothing like they should know as if we do too much damage thats who's going to operate on it, if not them, then the neurologist.
Can't stand straight or lay straight - my teen scoliosis went away, but returned in my 30s now its a double sway. Pushing my stomach forward
I have SI joint pain, plantar fasciitis, and knee pain all on the left side. I always assumed they were related, but this video really helped spell it out for me. Greatly appreciated! Edited to add: pain near my scapula as well (left side!)
Go to a rheumatologist, especially if your problems started before age 40. It's sounds like spondyloarthritis.
Wow, very eye opening! I've been experiencing pain for 4+ years & have been to numerous doctors, pt, chiro, acupuncture... you name it. Plus many MRIs, CT scans. All say nothing is wrong, yet I am in extreme pain night & day.
Hello Deb Jenkins,

Outstanding video! You are exceptional at explaining problems and their solutions, all with a friendly disposition.
Thank you very much Angela! I’m glad you found my content helpful.
Thank you for this video. I’m a subscriber now. I have been in pain for nearly a year. It started at my inner knee and escalated to a severe attack in what I learned was my SI joint, in which I ended up in the hospital. I do have tightness and pain in the areas you said to check. I’ve been to multiple doctors, chiropractors, physiotherapists, acupuncturists, massage therapists and no one has been able to help. It’s been frustrating and depressing. For this entire time, I’ve been saying, “I feel like this hip problem is related to my knee.” Everyone says, “It probably is,” but not one person has said that we should look at my feet, and no one has been able to offer a solution. I got referred to a pain specialist who was supposed to give me a steroid shot in my hip, but I’ve been waiting for three months for them to all me back, and I see now that will be a short term solution anyway. But now I’m going to call the podiatrist as soon as they open today. Why can’t MD’s look at the body holistically to determine the root cause of a problem? They only look at the site of the pain, do an x-ray, CT, MRI, and say, “Nope. It not that. Bye!” Every part of my body, except my feet have been scanned or checked for this issue…Your video gives me a bit of hope that I might find some relief. I have been wearing OTC orthotics for years and do wear good quality shoes, but maybe I need a different type/ customization of orthotic.
Oh my …. This is exactly what I’ve been dealing with for years. Thank you for your visual explanation of how I developed piriformis syndrome, lumbar spondylolithesis, and cervical anteriolithesis. I appreciate your exercises for SI joint dysfunction; your teachings are invaluable.
This is what I have been looking for…someone who explains why I have the pains I have! Thank you! I will use your advice and find someone who can help my body heal the right way, besides having to take pain meds! I’m so over it!
I hope you find a good doctor who can help you get back to feeling balanced and pain-free. And I'm glad you found my video and found it helpful. Take care!
I am very thankful for your videos! I feel like I have learned a lot about why I am experiencing the pain I have, and what I can do to help myself find some relief from all this pain. The information you give in your videos is a blessing!! Keep up the good work.

Thank you soooo much
Thank YOU so much Pari. I appreciate you watching!
I Ike your explanation on every subject. It’s very detailed and that’s why it’s so helpful.
I’m a tap dancer and had a nasty accident this February. I slipped on an icy surface, but didn’t fall bc I’m trained how not to , but it was so sudden that my body didn’t respond as it would in a dance setting I suppose. My spine went zig zag and I felt pain in two spots. In a couple of weeks I started to feel pain while dancing and it became more severe. I did an MRI and it came out with 3 bulged disks in lumbar part of my spine. Two of them were from 6 years ago injury, I believe. So, I stopped dancing for a month and started a PT, acupuncture and every time I felt some progress I’d re injured myself by making a tiny move in a twisting or bending over direction. Long story short- I stopped going to PT and acupuncture and started studying all I can by myself. I’m very grateful I found your videos.
Hello Irina Knust, I am glad you found my video helpful. I hope you get back to feeling 100% so you can do what you love, DANCE. Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you!! My hip pain started about 3 years ago. So many chiropractors, physical therapists, nutritionists and now during this video I traced it back to when I got a new pair of running shoes and did not put my Super Feet insoles in them. When I heard you say Super Feet, the clarity of my long road of pain came into view! Wow, just wow! I found them in my closet (with intentions to buy new ones years ago) and put them in a good pair of tennis shoes to starting wearing. Thank you!! I’m also going to try the band around my hips from another video of yours b/c at this point I have constant pain, NO adduction ability and CANNOT sit. The road ahead might long, but I feel like I’m finally going in the right direction. Thank you!

After a year+ of searching & watching physical therapists' videos, this single one finally explained the root cause of so many imbalances. Thank you.
I used to do tis work as a chiropractic assistant. I gradually specialized in antalgic posture. Often orthotics were the best option to support the posture to avoid the pain [antalgic] while the cause of the asymmetric motion was corrected and repaired. A common source of the asymmetry was rotational subluxation at T12/L1 interfering with the psoas minor placing the center of gravity over the weight bearing foot. It is the first thing I would look for with a low left shoulder as you manifested in the video.
Hello Qberry Farm,
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate it very much!
How does one correct the subluxation? My chiropractor doesn’t seem to know how to diagnose the SI joint pain.
@@PositiveMotionChiro I now have a therapist channrl
@@MrBrianPhillips My experience is that SI joint pain is more often repetitive use stress rather than a subluxation. I am not allowed to make a diagnosis but do a motion palpation of the joints assessment to see if I can do treatment witin my scope of practice. I adjust muscle response not the joint.
Orthotics hurt my feet. I was born with super flat feet and my spine is destroyed . I'm having my second surgery in 6 months
I wish every doctor would explain it this well.
Thank you so much Ken! I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Thank you so much for posting this video.
Oh and something I forgot to mention reading all the comments. I've been having lower back pain for some time. I've gone into the MD for help multiple times. When I was waking up at night in pain and then lying in bed in the morning trying to figure out how I was going to get out of bed I made that last appointment. I told the doctor again the symptoms. I was not interested in medication of any kind. I wanted help. He told me I was old and had to learn to live with the pain. Yep. That's what he said. Didn't go back.
Thanks for the presentation! I now know what it could be and will keep watching. I will be looking for a doctor out of town.
This is the best diagnosis of my SI issue! I've had problems for 6+ years. I've been to 4 different chiropractors, 3 orthopedics and a pediatrist. Everyone said it's a knee issue since the majority of the pain ran into the knee... Resulting in knee surgery making matters worse. Just recently now broke my femur since (just as you explained) my pronation caused my body to compensate to the lateral side of the foot. Well, that went too far and snapped. Yes, you are absolutely right! It's the feet! I'm subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to other videos, exercises, etc. ❤️😇
All the sensitive check points explained in one sentence. Thank you. Had this for years.
You are welcome! I hope you get to feeling 100% soon!
I came across your videos after looking into Si pain. I have recently started going to a new chiropractor that does decompression therapy. I have just got custom orthodics and he has recommended an si belt. Your videos have made me understand the reasons and importance. I am 48 and overweight. Been driving truck for 22 years in construction and my back is ruined and hope to lose weight and get things back on track.
Thank you for sharing your story, William Catchpole. I'm glad that my video resonated with you. Take care!
I’ve been suffering from this for months agonizing to realize this was the answer all along Very well presented.
So thankful for your in depth explanations of the root causes of SI pain. I have one leg shorter also which requires me to insert a lift in my shoe along with my orthotic. My clinical symptoms are demonstrated exactly the way you explained.
Thank you for sharing your experience Janice. Yes, leg length difference and the need for a heel lift is another whole element of how feet can effect the SI joint that I didn’t include in this video. Thank you for your comment.
I think finally someone has an answer to my years of trying to get relief . I met seeng my podiatrist for foot been it increasing got worse over the past 17 years every dr I saw said Nerve e damage and nerve spasms . I’ve see every specialist known to man had foot surgery back surgery to get this horrible pain out of pain nothing worked I’ve had everyone that’s seen my case say they never seen anything like it . No one has been able to help me .

What you are presenting here and how you are presenting it is amazing. Thanks so much! All you describe here applies to me and I have been wondering where these problems came from for decades. Now I know. You gave me a wonderful „Aha!“ moment. Now I’m going to try your solution. Again: Thank you! I subscribed instantly.
I had this SI joint paint since 5 months on and off and I found out that by myself … docs all
Say it’s inflammation in the lower back and tension im the muscles … that’s the exact pain I had in my legs and still they said it’s from the back… today when I was wearing a little high Schoe then I felt that my feet are not straight they goes left and right …the pain is getting more especially since I stand at my new work
… came across your videos and all make sense even though I believe that there’s for sure a psychological reasons from what we think and manifested in our bodies but you are one of the best doctors who looks for the causes and not only the symptoms.. appreciate your videos and I hope for having doctors like you here in Germany 🤗
Thank you for sharing your experience. I too believe that the mind is very powerful and has a significant role to play in most pain. Thank you for your comment!
You are Amazing! The way you explain the anatomy helps people fully understand why they are in pain. After being semi-bedridden for 45 years, I now understand how to get the help I need. I cannot thank you enough for your videos to get rid of my lifelong pain.
Thank you so much Dianne OBrien. It makes me so happy to know that my video was helpful. I am sorry to hear you have been in pain and I hope you get to feeling better soon. Hang in there.
Thank you for articulating the issues I have suffered with my entire life. I am in my second round of physical therapy this year started with a referral from the podiatrist to now a referral from the Neurologist for Siatic nerve next I am going to have a referral for PT for muscle spasms in my back always in the area you pointed out. God bless you and your ability to share with us. Thank you
It sounds like you have been through a lot. Thank you for sharing your journey. I hope you are on your way to feeling better soon. Hang in there dottyd76.
@@PositiveMotionChiro Thank you very much for your kind words and well wishes! Yes I am going through a lot of suffering but I am trusting God to heal me and hope me until my change comes. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis on Friday now I believe there is an issue with my spine that is not being diagnosed. Many blessings to you and your work!
Being an Orthotist Prosthetist I found your information valuable. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your comment and the work you do to help people feel better!
I developed sciatica pain recently, and I think it stems from my shoes being worn out,as I walk my dog at least an hour a day. I went to the shoe store and got a pair of new Brooks Ghost 14 and New Balance 1080V11, and they feel much better. So does my sciatica.
I did the same sht… I added proper insoles into my shoes, and tadaaaa! Problem solved.
Now I just need another spine, and I can get back to work!
@@andrasdudas5084 Know the problem well.
@@kerra3699 and too early…
I invite you to consider start drinking distilled water.
All the minerals people consume from water causes the kidneys to be overworked (as the body cannot effectively absorb inorganic minerals, from water).
That being stated, so much of society’s arthritic, sciatic, even Alzheimer’s/dementia, and more, is from a build up of these minerals, in the body.
Hello Stevn Lundgrin,
Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel. I am glad you found my content helpful.
Happy to hear you are feeling better! Take care.
THANK YOU so much, this is EXACTLY my problem and even doctors did not know.......
This makes so much sense. My shoes do this very thing and my feet turn in , which in turn has my calf muscles sore and my SI joint has been killing me for years. I’m definitely going to look into these insoles for sure. Thank you for the in depth video sir.
Hello Dylan's Kingdum,
I’m glad you found my content helpful.
It's a pity your not in Ireland. I'm 56 and have had hip, feet and knee pain for most of my life and after spending thousands of euros on chiropractors, shoes, insoles etc I'm still in pain. This is the first time I've had it explained to me so well. I'll will be for sure watching more of your videos, thank you.
Finally now some of my pain makes sense. I'm a veteran and I lost my left leg. My right foot, and tibia,fibula was broken.
Wow! Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I am glad that my video was helpful to you understanding some of your pain.
This has really helped me out. Honestly, God Bless you ! 🙏🏻
Glad it helped madirish88! I hope you get to feeling 100% soon!
Very interesting. This makes perfect sense with the trouble I am having . Thank you so much for explaining this so well.
Glad it was helpful! You are welcome Julia pfeiffer.
After going through so many videos of SI joints. Finally, after watching this video I am able to diagnose my pain.
Hello Vivek,
I am so glad you found my content useful. Thank you so much for watching.
This was incredibly informative. So grateful I came across this video. The biomechanics were explained so well and I learned so much! Thank you 🙏
Hi Klee,
Thank YOU for watching and sharing your thoughts! Glad you found my content helpful.
Your video was really informative and makes so much sense. I have lumber disc herniation but also had an op on my right phallux rigidus 3 yrs ago so I can't kick off with that toe anymore. My knee on the left and the hip and groin on the right side have become progressively worse with constant pain. The doctor says I have arthritis which is more than likely at 70 yes of age. However I realise that I have pronation and have been flat footed most of my life and your video makes so much sense I can't wait to see the podiatrist. Thank you for your time in making this video. the comments I've read from other people are amazing.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience Lynda Wood. It makes me happy to know my content was helpful. I hope you are on your way to finding the care you need to start feeling better! Take care.♥️
Excellent videos. Makes so much sense of what causes some of the issues we can have and how the foot effects so much
Hi Pam Wedel,
I really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
Thank you for all your marvellous teaching. You are an incredible teacher, so articulate with a calming voice too. I am a 65 year old English female and ex heptathlete and used to be very one sided because of continually taking off on one foot. This showed up as knee pain and then pain in SI joint which my chiropractor corrected and stableised. So I know I have week SI joints. Last year I fell and landed on my rear and crushed L1 and L2 ( I also have osteoporosis now). I had a vertoplasty and hardly any pain from the breaks but incredible pain months afterwards in my much lower lumbar region which no doctor could find reason for. I couldn’t even walk my dog. The docs were still looking when I fell again in the identical way. X ray showed no breaks but the same pain in the same place was 10 times worse. I got researching and came across your Chanel. I started to do a few of your exercises to correct my SI joint and the very next morning I felt a little less pain. Hey presto. I’ll let you know how much further I progress but just wanted to thank you so much. Oh and I have sent for Serola SI belt. Brenda
Hi Brenda Evans,
Thank YOU for watching and sharing your story with us. Glad you found this content helpful. Hope you get back to feeling 100% soon.🙏🏽
How are you doing now, Brenda?
Another nugget of knowledge in my quest to resolve a 40-year old SI pain issue. I do have a small amount of uneven heel wear, but no pain in the legs/hips, nor hip rotation. HOWEVER...for almost exactly the same length of time, I have had problems with the muscles just inside/along the scapula. I had always assumed it was because I lifted heavy when I was young, and as I have a long torso I figured it was weak lower traps or rhomboids getting pulled. But I'm beginning to suspect it's not that simple. Fascinating stuff.
It sounds like you have been through a lot hal900x. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am glad you found my content helpful and I hope you find the are you need to live pain free! Take care.
Omg, I can’t thank you enough! My ankles and knees hurt for 12 years and now I’m sure why. No doctor out there helped me.
You are very welcome Dameer DJ!
Glad my content was helpful to you. Hope you are on your way to feeling 100% soon.
If your feet are the problem, but they are causing pain in your knees, hips, and upper back, which doctor do we see to help alleviate the problem? Because the knee, hip, and the back doctors will not address the feet and the feet doctor will not address those other areas. They only look at what you claim to be hurting.
Good physio
Same thing I struggle with foot doctors don’t help with the knee,hip,back pain. Orthotics not working for my legs feel so weak I’m overcompensated my weight now to left side
Omg all these areas hurt everyday it’s so frustrating😢
Almost sounds like medicine was designed as a racket like that 😂
You start with the feet while also seeing a doctor for your back
Wow I enjoyed so much to watch your video so clear so come So knowledgeable so different from the other UA-cam I’ve seen so deep understanding the cause of the problem , i’m so excited that I found you !thank you so much for your giving
I already
Forward your UA-cam for four friends of mine🌻🙏
It makes me happy to know it was helpful Noa. I thank YOU for watching and sharing your thoughts. I hope you get to feeling 100% soon! Take care.
This is exactly what has been going on for me. Badly pronating on the right foot, inner knee discomfort, and now aching hip.
Hi Andy Phillips,
I am glad you found my content helpful. Hope you are on your way to feeling 100% soon.
I'm glad I found your channel and these videos. Suffering from SI joint pain, your explanations and recommendations are very clear. Thanks.
Glad you found my content helpful Laura. Take care.
I find it important to say that a stronger wear on the lateral heel side is the normal result of a physiological gait after wearing your shoes for a longer time. For the following bodymechanical reason: You need an emphasized pressure on the lateral heel in ortder to push your body into a rotational pattern of forward movement. In other words, if you have the same extent of wear on both sides of the heal you will most likely have a lack of rotation in your gait. This might also be accompanied by decreased length of stride and limited arm swing. To be precise, the postural problem is not primarily a lack of pronation, it's a lack of muscle activity to build up the lateral (and longitudinal) arch of the foot.
This is mostly common knowledge in European Physiotherapy
I have had a problem with leg hip and SI joint pain for years. After watching this I dug out some old insoles for pronation and it resolved within a few days! Thank you so much for making this connection for me
Hello Jan,
I am glad this video helped you. Thank you so much for watching our content.
I've had SI joint pain for years. Thank you for confirming the weakness in Glut Meds being a problem, I've been working to strengthen them. And I think I finally understand what my body has been trying to tell me about my orthotics being an issue. They were custom fitted to me 15 years ago as a teen when I weighed less. Great informative video!
Yes, the feet can play a really important role in our knees, hips, and SI joints. I'm glad my video on the sacroiliac joint and the connection to the feet resonated with you.
Thank you so much for your "easy to understand " video. I suffer from SI joint pain. I also have arthritis is my right foot. I never thought to mention to my podiatrist my SI issue but now I will. By you showing showing the laser example was extremely helpful. Thank you so much for mentioning those muscles which shows weakness on the side.
You are very welcome Veronica. I am glad you found my video helpful. I hope you get to feeling better soon! Happy Holidays!
Once again you've described what's going on with me except my feet roll in and I've had knee surgery already. THANK YOU!
Check if your Achilles tendon is vertical or if it curves inwards, you may have a muscular disease that causes it i can't think of the name ill Google it
You are welcome Carmen****! Thank you for watching my video.
Unintentional ASMR, and great information too. Love how you say you’re trying to put yourself out of business - very noble :)
😊
AWESOME now I know why my hip hurts when I walk thanks
You are very welcome.
Your videos on si joint dysfunction including this have changed my life! Thank you Dr. Pederson!
Thank YOU so much for your support. I appreciate your feedback.
Dr., very informative video. I suffer from a Leg Length discrepancy. My right leg is 1 inch shorter than my left. I'm 70 YO. In 1966, playing HS Football, I fractured the right femur, I was 15 years old. After the 6 weeks of traction in the hospital, and 3 months in a full body cast, when the doctor cut off the cast, he was bewlidered at how much my right leg was shorter than the left. My parents and really shame on the Ortho Doctor at that time, never presctibed that I shopuld wear an adjusted shoe for the rest of my life. That Trauma and body affliction has wreaked HAVOC. I now suffer with SI joint pain and inflammation, Lumbar and Cervical stenosis at various levels, Facet Joint arthritis, DDD (too bad I didn't drink water ... so important for Spinal Disc Health), arthritis in both Hips, knee pain and foot pain , almost exactly as you describe here. Flat footed too since I can remember. I differ with you in one major regard: I beleive from my experience, that the SI Joint Dysfunction is the major contributor to the calf and foot pains, instead of your info here of the feet affecting the SI joints... Nonetheless, this is extremely informative. My Rheumatologist after examining me for RA (negative for that), and then AS (negative), indicated that the SI Joints are the Motherlode of Spinal health... Everything is affected by those 2 joints. The LLD for which I really did mnothing about fo decades (finally making real shoe adjustments only 12 years ago), has distorted my spine with 25 degree Dextroscoliosis too. In my case, the maladies have traversed all the way up to the cervical spine with disc herniations, DDD, Military Neck causing a series of afflictions: Chronic Sinusitis, TMJ issues, Temporal pain and tension, IBS, and on and off chest pain , rib cage stiffness,.. I have started to wear Orthodics prescribed by a Podiatrist only a year ago. No real help yet. My currehnt Chiro says those Hard Orhodics are not good, she wants to order new ones pursuant to her analysis. But your info is far more extensive with very finite adjustments and inserts , especially for the one leg. I will subsribe to your Channel and watch all your other Videos. THX for doing this. Knowledge is POWER
Wow! You have been through a lot. Yes, an anatomical leg length difference like you acquired from your injury when you were 15 is really significant and has ramifications throughout the body as you detailed. I am glad that you haven't given up, that you keep searching for knowledge and that you are working with medical professionals. Thank you for your comment and feedback on my video. I hope that you will continue to find answers and keep feeling better and better. Take care!
I’m also interested in how the Dr feels about the reverse situation you’re describing.
I had a traumatic fall/fracture to the coccyx with ongoing SI joint pain that is progressing to the hip, knee and now foot.
Any clarification on this would be most appreciated.
Wow! I believed that my high arches, foot pain, multiple lateral ankle sprains, constant pain high on the outside/back of my right calf, sore hamstring and chronic pain in the SI joint were all related. I've been to my D.O., multiple physical therapists, pool therapy, the podiatrist, the OMM clinic at the state university, had nerve conduction studies, in treatment at a pain clinic, and spent years in chiropractic treatment and none of them ever suggested my arch might be falling, causing pronation and the whole cascade of pain!
Physiotaping did help the foot and ca9lf pain, and regular chiro adjustments helped keep the SI pain manageable, but no one ever suggested orthotics(and the wear on the outside of the heel of my shoe is clearly visible!) I recently moved and was trying to figure out what health profession to start all over with to find long lasting relief. You've given me hope! Thank you!
Hello LuAnn Frost,
You are so welcome! I am happy to hear my video was helpful. Hope you get to feeling much better soon.
Thank you so much for watching, we appreciate YOU.
Y'all... I have been on a journey. For the last 11 months I've been in pain. Muscle tension like I didn't know was possible. My back and hip were so bad I couldn't sit, drive, stand for too long. As a last ditch effort before seeking surgery, I went to an osteopath. He has me doing postural exercises. While doing foot circles last night, my right foot popped and I gained a new range of motion. Suddenly, all of the tension in my leg, hip, and back was gone. 🤯 I've had two ankle sprains so that ankle is very weak. I can't believe my ankle caused ALL of my debilitating pain for the past year.
This is amazing, can you share these exercises?🙏🏻
@@polpolpol99 I'm still on that journey. The ankle exercises helped in the short term but my biggest issue is my glutes not firing correctly. My upper glutes are too active and my lower glutes (Max and Medius) are underworking. The foot exercises I was doing is foot circles while pointing toes. And then point and flex the foot leading with the toes. Try to do each for 40 reps on each foot.
@tracymoss7210 my issues also started after an ankle injury. I wore a medical boot for 3 months which affected my gait. Now I have SI joint pain daily. PT helps a little but the stiffness and pain in hips/SI/ low back never goes away.
Brilliantly clear, unsensational, instructive demonstration. Knowledge of the cause of problem as well as possible solutions are great therapies. Thank you Dr. Pederson.
Your comment makes me smile. I’m glad my video helped you. 🙏🏼
Hallelujah! Nice to see a DC discussing the importance of the feet on the rest of the body. As a therapeutic massage therapist I find compensations resulting from restricted ROM of the feet and ankles as a major cause of symptoms elsewhere in the body. Before turning to orthodeics I suggest the person lengthen shortened muscles first, then strengthen the weak areas, which usually means isolateral strengthening. The challenge is determining where the imbalances originate. Do you have recommendations on resources that might help with functional assessment?
Thanks for this comment- please tell us why determining where the imbalances originate is important and what kind of specialist cn do that?
Hi! I liked your comment! I also like your profession! Working side by side with DC’s gives patients the best of the best experience and outcomes! I need to talk to you!!
physical therapist can test for muscle and ROM imbalances
why? is it not obvious? think of an old fashion scale gotta adjust one side or the other to achieve balance
or a foundation of a building
Finally!!! This is all I have told my doctors for like 3 years. I have a collapsed left ankle my hips hurt at night sometimes during the day, outer leg hurts, lower back pain ,cant sleep on my side either. Have to take muscle relaxers to fall asleep with advil. I was becoming concerned and miserable… I know taking meds every night cant be good.. Thank you!!!
Glad I could help Brenda86. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story.
This has helped me sleuth out the issues I have been having with my left knee, si joint and outside of my foot. I am going to start using the superfeet inserts that I have, and also seek out a DC or podiatrist near me. Thank you!!
Hello Sherry T,
I am glad you found my content helpful. I hope you are on your way to feeling 100%!
Love the balding tire rim analogy. The lasers make a great visual with the alignment changes when you added arch support and heel lift.
Pinched nerve in hip caused complete paralysis in my leg, especially the foot.
Once I started to get feeling back, ended up with CRPS in foot
The only reason why my foot doesn't currently have a swollen neuroma? Choice of shoes.
Found things to help Mortons Neuroma, like separation of the toes or toe bars on base.
Birkenstocks work for me. Still cannot walk more than a few feet in fully enclosed shoes regardless of how well made they are, CRPS foot needs more foot room.
My foot doesn't roll in shoes with deep heel cups, my legs are less tired, lower back hurts less, and I can walk/ stand longer than ever before.
SJ injection keeps area lubed and reduced swelling. Need it once a year.
If only my neck was as simple.
Took 5 years to go from paralyzed to walking unaided most days, and I thank my shoes!
That’s quite a journey. Birkenstock sandals saved me . I call them my prosthetics and wear them round the house as a barefoot option.
@@polyannamoonbeam They are my lifesaver too.
Can't wear any other shoes now or crippling neuropathy returns before I can get out of the house.
They are shoes a podiatrist can prescribe, which gets tax taken off.
Can you swim at all..? I go to a pool ( warm not cold) and swim on my back arms by my side. It helps. You tuck your chin down slightly and it is supposed to help straighten out the minor issues so the bigger ones don’t hurt so much. There are 2or 3 other people doing the same so it must work at least some way ?
Per hydroxychlor...... does its use cause an aboration of ur psych profile?
Get full metal leg.
I greatly appreciate the depth and clarity of your teaching. Thank you for these videos.
You are very welcome. Thank you so much for your feedback, it means a lot to me.
Thank you for two of us. His longterm hip deterioration due to injury and finally hip replacement with good result has needed PT and this was very helpful to all points. My feet are super small with high arches but still wear evenly on both outside backs of the shoe. Always had great feet, not much heel use as too short, and a lot of dancing but recently sciatic and hip twist occuring so it is helpful to be aware of foot' eveness' and enhance for flex and strength at arch etc.
Hello JKM jemmadesigns,
I appreciate you taking the time to share your story. Glad you found my video helpful.😀
I've had s.i. joint pain for many years; my naturopathic doc said I have "chronically sprained s.i. joints", and wanted to do prolotherapy on them, but I knew it was a structural problem. However, I've been through several physical therapists and countless programs to try to address it. This is the first I've heard of foot problems being the culprit! But, I did break my ankle many years ago, and lately, I've had weird pains in my foot, and have thought about going back to the podiatrist. Now I am sure that's what I should do. thanks for the insight!
I'm glad that my video detailing the link between the feet and the SI joint resonated with you and I hope that working with your podiatrist will help your whole body to feel more balanced and less painful!
@@PositiveMotionChiro thank you!
Do you have ankle screws?
@@thaiisbraaga no, nothing artificial in my foot or leg or anywhere else
Thank you that information is what I have been looking for and is very helpful. Keep up the good work Great video!
Thank you for your kind feedback. I'm glad my SI joint pain being related to the feet video resonated with you.
That was a great video. Really broke down everything in an easy understanding way. I'm flat foot and have plantar fasciitis and venous insufficiency along with herniated discs and back issues so this video means alot.
Glad my video was helpful @jeffreyscottfishman. Thank you for your feedback. I hope you get to feeling better soon!
Thank you so much! This video answered my questions about all the pain in my body. The wear on the outside of the shoe was my biggest puzzle. Check into correct toes to help with pronation and collapsing arches. I tried arch supports but finding more improvement with correct toes approach and the shoes with wider toe boxes.
Correct Toes are amazing products and all the work that is done at Northwest Foot and Ankle (www.nwfootankle.com). I love their products, have had good success using them and yes having a shoe with width (especially across the transverse metatarsal arch) is so important. Thanks for your comment!
Thank you so much for this video. I suffer greatly from these issues. This video has helped me immensely.
I am so glad this video helped you. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you get to feeling better soon! Hang in there.🙏🏽
I definitely have this issue. Have been using “Powerstep” insoles for several years (morton’s neuroma both feet) but shoes still show uneven wear, and SI joint/knees/ankles are requiring adjustments every 3-4 weeks. it needs to stop (especially since my Chiropractor does not accept insurance). Thank you for this info as it can helpful formulate a path forward to more long-lasting alignment.
Birkenstocks helped me with Mortons Neuroma and it was really flared up after paralysis from the lumbosaccral nerve in my hip.
Anything to separate the toes.
I still have the neuroma, its shrunken up and under the toes instead of ball of foot with an abscess!
Saved me. Tried socks. Dance socks, all sorts of stuff and swear by Birkenstocks.
Hello Linda Clinger,
I am glad to hear you found my video helpful. I hope you are on your way to feeling 100%.

I can't wait to try this, been hurting severely for over a year. Pain to literally stop me in my track. Sacram fracture at one point, wobble like I'm 80, I'm 67 can't take the pain any longer. I've been having the nerve ends burnt . Pressure points all over
