My doc. put me through every test under the sun and kept coming up with different reasons why my pain was so bad I couldn't stand for more than ten min. at a time. After ten years of guessing I finally started looking myself on the internet and within three day's deduced it was my SI joint. I put the wrong type of brace on but it was enough to pull my hips together enough so that I could see with no doubt the problem was the SI joint all along. I got a Serola Sacroiliac Belt and the pain is 90% gone! I know I still need to get it adjusted but the pain and witch hunt are OVER!!! It was videos like this one that led me to the light. Thank you nabil ebraheim!!!
I suffer at times from referred sacroiliac pain in my buttock and groin. I was whipped from side to side in an auto accident that appears to have stretched the ligaments in the area and destabilized the S.I. joints. I have had some relief from chiropracty, yoga exercises for the back, and strengthening exercises such as sit-ups, weight training, etc. Thanks for the great explanatory video.
Thank you, sooo much. After 10 years of pain I can't explain, on top of having Endometriosis, my family still doesn't know what's wrong with me. I get the glares and whispers, and meant to feel ashamed. Now I can at least show them a great video, to explain what I can't. My sincerest thank, Julie Timby.
@@saundrac9 Hi Saundra, my boyfriwnd suffered a lot of pain in all his body. He found out a book by Dr Sarno and TMS that helped him so much. Now, he has a completely normal life. Sometimes he has pain but it is often caused by stress. He has learned to live with that. I hope this may be useful for you.
How are you?still in pains?did you get benefits of this video content , did you do any exercise?sorry that you left message on here long time I hope you are OK now days.take care.
@@mariaalcocermuries2157 what other symptoms does he have? I'm experiencing loads of bad symptoms 😕 I just hope only got a fractured back or sri joint issues. This is crazy 😐
@aprces Low back pain is a common problem, yet people know very little about sacroiliac joint pain even though it is a primary contributor. Thanks for your comments!
I've spent 7 years in bed - had to travel in a bed in the back of the car because I could not sit up during a long drives to the doctors, and my husband had to frequently sleep on the couch because my lower back pain was so bad. I wore lidocaine patches every day RIGHT OVER the SI joints!!! And the doctors knew it!!! But said nothing... TONS OF DOCTORS later, at some of the best pain clinics in the world... and I found this video. Told my doctors, they injected, and my world changed instantly. BLESS YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!!!!!!
GetSwingIN hey Im free pain after 8 years of misery , I have many herniated disk and I tried the natural , super anti inflammatory pain killers supplements and I’m free of pain ,google it and u won’t believe the miracle, good luck .
Hi GetSwingIN, did you have your SI joint or back checked out by any Physiotherapist, Chiropractor, or Osteopathic doctor? Or were all the best doctors you saw medical doctors? Cause medical doctors specialty is diagnosis of various diseases not joints of the body at all! If its a very good medical doctor they can take an educated guess to what the cause of any joint pain is but can’t 100% diagnose as its simply not there specialty. Each health care practitioner has there own specialty and medical doctors specialty is diagnosis of diseases NOT joints!
@@DrFez-pl3bv most Doctors only have one tool in their toolbox and it's a scalpel. I I asked my orthopedic Surgeon to fix my back and he sent me to pain management. He is a great Dr bit he stopped doing back surgeries because he had so many patients who were not happy with their result.

Extremely informative, thank you so much for posting this. I've gone for chiropractic treatments, massage, etc., on and off for the last 17 years. Very recently my pain has increased and I have found no relief. I am also an LMT, and the more I work, the more pain I experience. I know now that is has to be a combination of therapies to obtain relief.
My understanding is (it wasn't stated in the video) that the SI joint "unlocks" when you sit. I sit on the couch with my back in the corner, my knees angled left and my torso squared forward or even turned a bit right to use the laptop or watch tv. Repeated, extended spinal torsion while sitting and the joint doesn't realign when I stand up again. Misalignment causes pain that can last for weeks. Attending to my postural habits has helped me greatly.
jenny more I'm going through the same thing. can you please let me know what actually helped? and how do you now sit? as posture has always been a problem for me, at default I always slouch down :-/ Did the pain travel down to your knee and give your knees any trouble ? hope to hear from you and enlighten me through your experience and knowledge. thank you
@@ummesawdah Ive had chronical disabling pain in this area for 36 years, getting worse and worse. Medical yoga last 6 month made me much better, but very painful process the first 5 month..
I tried to explain to my primary care doctor what I was experiencing and she just called it upper right flank pain. That was over ten years ago. I have been probably died no since. I have also had a C4 C5 Fusion... I am looking forward to having my SI Fusion. Thank you for the information. This video is greatly appreciated.
Excellent! After 3 years of Drs misdiagnosing me and really not knowing what was wrong, I began to research myself. Videos from TH-cam have helped greatly! This one hits the nail on the head, after thousands of dollars have been wasted with Drs who didn't have a clue.
@nabilebraheim continued... If you inject the joint and the patient gets better, then the patient most likely has an SI joint problem. That does not mean the patient is clear of other conditions that involve the hip and spine. Association of spine, hip and SI joint pain are very common. It is very common for MRI to show a disc bulge or hernation which may be normal as the patient gets older and confusion becomes worse.
@ocubejan Yes, sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be a painful condition. It is best to be evaluated by a doctor if you suspect you have sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
@nabilebraheim I'd like to respond to this question. SI joint pain will overlap with other causes of back pain. Typically in SI joint pain, the patient will have vague, non-specific pain but more to the side. The patient will point with the finger to the site of pain. Faber test or Patrick test is usually positive. The patient will have tenderness over the SI joint. Injection is the best way to diagnose SI joint dysfunction.
This is by far the best video explain this issue. I've tried for years to find a good video to show my parents and others close to me who want to know what it is the cause of my pain (unfortunately I also have a disc bulge pinching a nerve and facet dyscopathia). Anyways, this clearly shows where one part of my pain comes from. The finger pointing example is really good as that's exactly one of two areas I point too when asked where my pain starrts. Thank you for this great public service.
I am suffering with SI joint problems. No one,including 4 doctors and 2 physical therapists has explained what this SI dysfunction is or why I hurt so much as well as this video has. Fortunately, a PT-assistant suggested I see another PT for SI problems. I am now getting the help I've been needing for a very long time. Thanks for the helpful video!
The number 1 thing that completely fixed my SI joint pain was doing the "inner and out leg" machines in the gym. You know the one where you are sitting with your legs are spread and you either are fighting resistance to bring them together, or fighting resistance to push them apart. Do 4x10 and up the weight as you can handle it each time you go back to the gym
I've recently tweaked my back doing heavy squats and deadlifts, I was assuming that a lack of hip extension would be the problem. They have the machines you describe at my gym, how long has it taken you to feel better?
@@pthorne So this was actually a long term issue for me. In maybe 2018 I was doing a set of deadlifts, felt something hurt, but was too egotistical and decided to finish my set. Excruciating pain for the next 2 weeks, had difficulty sleeping, gave up deadlifts for good. My back recovered over 6 months but a couple times a year I would turn wrong and the pain would flair up. I decided to try and give deadlifts a try again this year, started working my way up in weight until one day I hurt my back in basically the same day I did before. I gave it a full 10 days off of working out and looked up different solutions on YT and eventually narrowed down the problem to my SI joint. From then on I started working back DL and squat at low weight, and at the end of each session would do those inner and outer thigh machines. Its been about 2 months since starting those and I am back to above the weight I hit earlier this year with no signs of pain. No random shoots of pain down my back for twisting the wrong way either

im a nursing student..and its a big help for my research..ive been searching for this for quite sometime,coz my professor doesnt explain this that much..ur a PRO..thanks for the information.
I have dealt with SI issues for years. I have found one thing that keeps it healthy, walking at least 7500, preferably 10,000 or more step per day. I have gone years without pain and then get sick or drive too much and have 3-4 days where I only get 2000 steps a day and my problems come back full force and I need to work it out over a coarse of weeks. If you can get it back in place I highly recommend you try the walking. It probably is just keeping muscles loose and could be replaced with the right kind on stretching, but the walking is so good for you for so many other reasons it is my preferred way to keep it in line.
For three years now,, I have had low back burning at times, but more often is sudden intense stab in right upper buttock every I bend over and then straighten up, the stab is so bad it takes my breath away right before I'm fully straightened up. Autoimmune bloodwork was negative. MRI of pelvis was normal, lumbar spine showed changes but not surgical. I'm 69. Doctors offer no diagnosis yet I have a hard time moving properly. What else should I check?
Thank you very much for the very informative video dr.I can now rest with ease as I slowly figure out my problem.I was told by my dr I have spondylitis..???I saw my xray films with my PT and told me I have a SI joint dysfunction.I wasnt given a proper explanation of my problem.I have to go thru all your videos to find out my problem and the symtoms you mentioned are the exact of what I have.With limited resources I can only get information on this from the Internet.Thank you so much DR..
This video is highly informative about the joint problems faced by working people in the developed countries, its a nice initiative and keep it up. Thank you for such descriptive video.
you are correct a video of this type is very difficult,some typing errors may happen thank you for pointing it out check other videos and tell me your thoughts
@janjakej Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is an extremely common problem and is a major source of low back pain. It is misunderstood and often misdiagnosed.
@PureChiropractic I am the same like you ,i can and treat the S I JOINT WITHOUT THIS TEST,but most os the docs think it is a back sprain and miss the diagnosis .most of the docs do not know how to diagnose the SI joint injection is needed in some cases to diagnose and treat ,this is not my discovery this is a well established concept I use ultrasound injection it takes less than 5 minutes to do the injection
I had two spinal fusion surgeries. The second was because the first failed and the hardware became lose. I was just starting my health career when this happened so I was fresh to the idea of back surgery. Looking back now which was 7 years ago my pain management doctor and my surgeon NEVER even mentioned that my SI joints could be bad. Despite me telling them that a lot of my pain was not in the center of my spine but rather down my leg, in my butt, and off to the side of the lower back. Of course I did not know anything nor heard about SI joint surgery. I just knew about the joint from anatomy. Seven years later, 30+ injections, years of PT, 2 spine surgeries, "I" final spoke up and said Im going to get my SI looked at. In my area only 4 surgeons do SI surgery. And I live in a hospitals city of big time hospitals. So I went to one doctor and he suggesting doing an SI injection to see if that was my pain. I did it three weeks ago. They did a MAC so I was asleep. Don't remember anything. It was wonderful. The next day my pain went down by 50%. No joke. I knew that it was my SI joint. Today I saw the surgeon and he said I could wait it out with another injection that only puts a band aid on it. I said nope....I want surgery. In 7 years with several surgeries on my body, I said I WANT this surgery. I am scheduled in three weeks to have my left fused followed by my right when I am healed. My point behind all of this. If your having low back pain make sure you get your pain management to consider SI joints and your surgeon to consider it. Do not let them talk you into fusing your lumbar without considering this and having testing done like me. Looking back I really did not need a lumbar fusion. I have been through hell every since. ALWAYS get a second opinion if you have decent insurance. Medicine is a practice. Every doc has a different opinion. What works for one person may not work for you. Everybody is different. And push your doctor to review your MRI or CT scan. With all do respect to radiologist, they don't see inside the body. They are trained to look at imaging, period. I work with docs in the OR. I can tell you many times when a doc said, "that was not on the MRI." Radiologist miss things all the time. Not because they are not looking. They just don't apply what they know to what the body looks like cut open. The radiologist completely missed my unfused spinal fusion and lose hardware. As soon as my surgeon saw the MRI he knew it did not fuse and the screws were lose. Get your doctor to look at the MRI, not read the dictation from the radiologist. Some docs go right off the radiologist report and don't look at the MRI.
Why are Orthopedists and other MDs not assessing the ankles and feet as a possible contributing (or major root cause) of SI dysfunction? The feet play a major role in the chain. Knees, hips, and spine depend on the proper functioning of the feet/arches- during standing, walking, and running.
Hi ! just wanted to say thank you very much for posting this, very informative and easy to understand video , helped me diagnose my S.I joint problems and i am on my way to recovery
sir,.. its great,... now am seeing this videos daily,.. and it improved my performance in OPD,.. sir what u r doing is a mighty thing,... take care sir,.. i will always pray for u sir
This is a great video to be watched and analyze by people having S.I. Joint pain & there PCP don't understand them why they have been complaining for years in and years out.
How are you?still in pains?did you get benefits of this video content , did you do any exercise?sorry that you left message on here long time I hope you are OK now days.take care.
@nabilebraheim A positive straight straight leg raising is a very strong indication that the nerve is irritated. A contralateral straight leg raising is also very specific. Most of the pain of the low back gets better with time. About 85=95 percent improve with conservative treatment within 6 weeks. If the patient doesn't get better, dig deeper.
Thank you for the very informative and helpful video. For more than a year I have in vain been seeing different experts who could not figure out what was wrong with me. I had all of the symtoms mentioned in the video, back pain, my piriformes muscle was tight all the time, and pain in the back of my right leg. A few months ago an osteopat found out that my hip was to high in the right side and he put it back at its right place.
Wow! it's like all those boxes got ticked!!! I even thought I have one leg longer than the other. It took six doctors to finally get a CT scan to show SI joint degeneration. Now I'm red flagged for, "doctor shopping"! Thanks for the video. I was even getting suicidal thoughts because the pain killers weren't doing anything; now I can sit in a chair after taking a few pills. You guys putting these videos up are doing a great community service!!!
@nabilebraheim You're welcome. Can't wait to see the one on piriformis syndrome. I've suffered from SI dysfunction or piriformis issues for years! I so appreciate the information and the ability to SEE exactly what is going on.
2:43 the purpose of this test is to stretch the si joint in order to reproduce pain 2:48 press down gently but firmly on the flexed knee and the opposite interior superior 2:53 iliac crest 2:55 pain in the sacroiliac area indicates a problem with the sacroiliac 2:58 joints 3:01 The straight leg test is performed to determine whether a patient with low 3:04 back pain has an underlying herniated disk 3:07 this test is not used to determine the presence of si joint pain
This video is spot on. I am a naturopathic physician and I do all the alternative things for this same condition. However, any injection nowadays are scary base on recent steroid injections.
You left out 3 major causes for SI joint instability: 1. An externally rotated femur head usually on the left. 2. A trigger point lateral to L3 on the side of SI joint pain. 3. The average car seat is lower in the back than in the front. This causes the lumbar musculature to go into spasm due to the lack of support.
The car seat example hits the nail on the head for me. Also most sofa & lounge chair furniture have the same issue - even my 'so called' zero gravity chair & inflatable river tube floats in the pool puts pressure on the wrong angle & in minutes leads to pain in the butt. When you mention rotated - my original injury from 15 yrs ago was a rotation while shoveling snow- probably L5 S1. I did chiro and it did go away but would return when aggravated - but my more recent flare up that has now lasted almost 2 months in my 64th year - foolishly overdid lifting - but then didn't allow it to rest enough before taking on other jobs that made the pain worse - likely a combination of both L5 S1 (as reported on my recent MRI) - causing sciatica pain - and then a sacroiliac flare up. I believe my sciatiaca exercises may have aggravated the sacroiliac as the pain would relocate depending on certain movements. The only saving grace is I can find a comfortable position on my side to sleep - with no weight on my spine - but I pay for it in the morning when waking up.
Hi Guillote Maldonado, what would you recommend as a massage therapist to someone who has a pelvic rotation and who suffers from pain in the si joint, hips, trochanter and right knee?
3:15 differential diagnosis of si joint pain includes 3:18 trochanteric bursitis 3:22 pririformis syndrome 3:25 myofascial pain 3:29 lumbosacral disc herniation and bulge 3:34 lumbosacral facet syndrome 3:38 lumbar radiculopathy 3:44 and cluneal nerve entrapment 3:51 causes of si joint pain include 3:54 leg length discrepancy 3:58 mechanical dysfunction 4:00 usually si joint allows for minimal movement 4:04 excessive or abnormal movement causes dysfunction of the joint 4:09 instability and pain
i had SI dysfunction from lifting weights and too much golf...I couldnt' sit or lift anything heavy at all...I had to diagnose this SI Joint dysunction myself and 100% this was the problem...I had a surgeon in GA put 3 screws through my SI Joint and IMMEDIATELY the problem was solved...unreal, I can now play 100 rounds of golf a year and am almost totally better
I´ve already seen a lot of vids from you, but today I´m very happy because of den diff.diagnoses in your vid. So plastic ! so helpful what aspect the finding of diagnose...thank you...my patients will benefit a lot, amd me too, cause doing good work makes me happy too. ( :

By far the best video describing this condition. It really has helped me to understand my condition quickly yet thoroughly. Thank you Dr.!
Thank you very much for the very informative video dr.I can now rest with ease as I slowly figure out my problem.I was told by my dr I have spondylitis..???I saw my xray films with my PT and told me I have a SI joint dysfunction.I wasnt given a proper explanation of my problem.I have to go thru all your videos to find out my problem and the symtoms you mentioned are the exact of what I have.With limited resources I can only get information on this from the Internet.Thank you so much DR..
Very interesting! Definitely one of the most informative videos I've seen on TH-cam.
This video is highly informative about the joint problems faced by working people in the developed countries, its a nice initiative and keep it up.
Thank you for such descriptive video.
@kashifpk1000 Thanks for your comments. I find the animations to be incredibly helpful in illustrating the condition.
you are correct
a video of this type is very difficult,some typing errors may happen
thank you for pointing it out

Great Video, really explains what SI joint dysfunction is and treatment options. Thank you.

This was great! You have me all of the information I needed to understand my diagnosis. Thanks!
@janjakej Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is an extremely common problem and is a major source of low back pain. It is misunderstood and often misdiagnosed.
@PureChiropractic I am the same like you ,i can and treat the S I JOINT WITHOUT THIS TEST,but most os the docs think it is a back sprain and miss the diagnosis .most of the docs do not know how to diagnose the SI joint
injection is needed in some cases to diagnose and treat ,this is not my discovery this is a well established concept
I use ultrasound injection it takes less than 5 minutes to do the injection
I need to find someone that can help me in Tacoma Washington
I had two spinal fusion surgeries. The second was because the first failed and the hardware became lose. I was just starting my health career when this happened so I was fresh to the idea of back surgery. Looking back now which was 7 years ago my pain management doctor and my surgeon NEVER even mentioned that my SI joints could be bad. Despite me telling them that a lot of my pain was not in the center of my spine but rather down my leg, in my butt, and off to the side of the lower back. Of course I did not know anything nor heard about SI joint surgery. I just knew about the joint from anatomy. Seven years later, 30+ injections, years of PT, 2 spine surgeries, "I" final spoke up and said Im going to get my SI looked at. In my area only 4 surgeons do SI surgery. And I live in a hospitals city of big time hospitals. So I went to one doctor and he suggesting doing an SI injection to see if that was my pain. I did it three weeks ago. They did a MAC so I was asleep. Don't remember anything. It was wonderful. The next day my pain went down by 50%. No joke. I knew that it was my SI joint. Today I saw the surgeon and he said I could wait it out with another injection that only puts a band aid on it. I said nope....I want surgery. In 7 years with several surgeries on my body, I said I WANT this surgery. I am scheduled in three weeks to have my left fused followed by my right when I am healed. My point behind all of this. If your having low back pain make sure you get your pain management to consider SI joints and your surgeon to consider it. Do not let them talk you into fusing your lumbar without considering this and having testing done like me. Looking back I really did not need a lumbar fusion. I have been through hell every since. ALWAYS get a second opinion if you have decent insurance. Medicine is a practice. Every doc has a different opinion. What works for one person may not work for you. Everybody is different. And push your doctor to review your MRI or CT scan. With all do respect to radiologist, they don't see inside the body. They are trained to look at imaging, period. I work with docs in the OR. I can tell you many times when a doc said, "that was not on the MRI." Radiologist miss things all the time. Not because they are not looking. They just don't apply what they know to what the body looks like cut open. The radiologist completely missed my unfused spinal fusion and lose hardware. As soon as my surgeon saw the MRI he knew it did not fuse and the screws were lose. Get your doctor to look at the MRI, not read the dictation from the radiologist. Some docs go right off the radiologist report and don't look at the MRI.
Hows your back now?
Why are Orthopedists and other MDs not assessing the ankles and feet as a possible contributing (or major root cause) of SI dysfunction? The feet play a major role in the chain. Knees, hips, and spine depend on the proper functioning of the feet/arches- during standing, walking, and running.
Best video on the problem so far. Thank you

This is a great video to be watched and analyze by people having S.I. Joint pain & there PCP don't understand them why they have been complaining for years in and years out.
Great description. You have provided really great anatomical references and the demonstration is just fabulous. Thanks alot for sharing this one
How are you?still in pains?did you get benefits of this video content , did you do any exercise?sorry that you left message on here long time I hope you are OK now days.take care.
@farmanawan The goal of every doctor is to improve the human condition. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a very common problem, but misunderstood.
@nabilebraheim A positive straight straight leg raising is a very strong indication that the nerve is irritated. A contralateral straight leg raising is also very specific. Most of the pain of the low back gets better with time. About 85=95 percent improve with conservative treatment within 6 weeks. If the patient doesn't get better, dig deeper.
@aanrose THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT
@nabilebraheim THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT
omg u r a life saver . i have never understood this better- internal medicine resident, India
Much needed review of SI joint anatomy and involved muscles and ligaments, visuals were super helpful, thanks!
I had been searching tthis type of video... alas... I've found it... thanks a lot.. it will be really helpful for my patients.. thanx
That was a really fascinating video explaining about sacroiliac joint pain and dysfunction. The video was good and informative at the same time.
@hilalpaki Thanks for your comments!
Yes, Sacroiliac joint disease is something that I treat.
Thank you for the very informative and helpful video. For more than a year I have in vain been seeing different experts who could not figure out what was wrong with me. I had all of the symtoms mentioned in the video, back pain, my piriformes muscle was tight all the time, and pain in the back of my right leg. A few months ago an osteopat found out that my hip was to high in the right side and he put it back at its right place.
Same approximately 16 years pain inability to function well
Wow! it's like all those boxes got ticked!!!
I even thought I have one leg longer than the other.
It took six doctors to finally get a CT scan to show SI joint degeneration. Now I'm red flagged for, "doctor shopping"!
Thanks for the video. I was even getting suicidal thoughts because the pain killers weren't doing anything; now I can sit in a chair after taking a few pills. You guys putting these videos up are doing a great community service!!!
What pills cured it??please

@SHUBHAM7827 THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT
This video is spot on. I am a naturopathic physician and I do all the alternative things for this same condition. However, any injection nowadays are scary base on recent steroid injections.
@jstmaxx THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT
@aspiemom42 you may need to complete the SI joint fusion
This video is very useful to help people understand how Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction manifests in the human body!
@sajithstephen To understand sacroiliac joint dysfunction, it's essential to identify and understand the anatomy. Thanks for your comments!
@MrRocketMailer THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT
You left out 3 major causes for SI joint instability: 1. An externally rotated femur head usually on the left. 2. A trigger point lateral to L3 on the side of SI joint pain. 3. The average car seat is lower in the back than in the front. This causes the lumbar musculature to go into spasm due to the lack of support.
The car seat example hits the nail on the head for me. Also most sofa & lounge chair furniture have the same issue - even my 'so called' zero gravity chair & inflatable river tube floats in the pool puts pressure on the wrong angle & in minutes leads to pain in the butt. When you mention rotated - my original injury from 15 yrs ago was a rotation while shoveling snow- probably L5 S1. I did chiro and it did go away but would return when aggravated - but my more recent flare up that has now lasted almost 2 months in my 64th year - foolishly overdid lifting - but then didn't allow it to rest enough before taking on other jobs that made the pain worse - likely a combination of both L5 S1 (as reported on my recent MRI) - causing sciatica pain - and then a sacroiliac flare up. I believe my sciatiaca exercises may have aggravated the sacroiliac as the pain would relocate depending on certain movements. The only saving grace is I can find a comfortable position on my side to sleep - with no weight on my spine - but I pay for it in the morning when waking up.
@alpharomeo69
if the radiofrequency worked even for a day ,then you may get benefit from fusion

Very instructive video. I'm a massage therapist. Thanks so much.
Hi Guillote Maldonado, what would you recommend as a massage therapist to someone who has a pelvic rotation and who suffers from pain in the si joint, hips, trochanter and right knee?
wonderful !I need to watch it time and time again till I can recite it. The video is even useful for the test,.Thank you for your wonderful video.
