Thank you for showing us this. I’ve been in pain for 3 months and couldn’t figure out the issue. I did all the diagnosis u pointed to and had the same issue where the sacrum and iliac was stuck. There was no recoil upon challenging the right side hip. After I did the treatment I felt my piriformis muscle was stiff as a rock and large like the size of a cucumber. It allowed my hip to finally have some relaxation. Reduced my sciatic pain by 90%. I still have some minor pain and numbness down to my tibia by the peroneal nerve and my TFL muscle is stiff as well. I am guessing that after injury as simple as sneezing locked up all the hip muscles. Could you show us how to release TFL muscle and erector muscle using your hesch method.
I hope he does a video on ankylosing spondylitis because fuse joints can be very painful and made worse by some treatments. People should be made aware of that.
here is a very good one, but you do raise a good point as an important thing to do is to make sure that hip extension is maintained in that population. th-cam.com/video/1GEuXDShhTI/w-d-xo.html
I have SI problems and am under the care on an Ortho doc. However, it seems that not many know that much about SI issues. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what my issue is. My pain is in my right lower back and radiates to my groin and the inside of my right thigh. I do not have much pain standing but I can't sit for long at all. Just wish I knew some exercises to help it. Everything I have done so far makes it hurt worse. Thanks for the videos!
This as your other videos is soooooooooo excellent! I've learned so much watching your explainations/work. The knowledge gained will help greatly when talking to my massage therapist and chiropractor. If I do have continued concerns, I will touch base and come to Denver. Thank you, again!

Curious if a wonky si joint can cause mild sacroiliitis. Ive had chronic lower back pain at the midline as well as buttock tightness with 1 to 2 spasm incidences a year for 15 years . Just had an xray that showed mild sacroilliac sclerosis and some other abnormalities (mild dextrocurvature at the L2-3 level, partial lumbarization of the s1 vertebra and Borderline retrolisthesis of L5 on S1). Doc says I may have ankylosing spondylitis, which I'm really hoping I dont have. Getting an MRI and genetic test to get more details.
Do u know of any specialist like u in your field that operates in Illinois. I have three young kids and a stay at home wife. I had back pain 8 years ago and it started again two weeks ago. I was in pain for 6 years and yoga was what got me pain free but I still was doing yoga every morn and night and core exercises every third day and icing at night. I don’t know why my right side si locked up but I’m hoping u have done insight.
I had a very similar chiropractor adjustment through the course of 10 sessions. It was helping at the beginning but then it got worse. I have developed sciatica and lots of instability in my SI joint :(

Hi, I totally believe in your method. N I wanted to cite you in my research manuscript . Do you have any recent research published in scientific journal?? Could you pls give me the link??
I live in Texas Dr. I really need to make a appointment. Ive been dealing with chronic pain for the last 4 +years. MRI's, x-rays, back injections. They say i have severe arthritis in my left hip but my pain is in my waistline, tailbone, it goes into both groin areas sometimes one side. I walk like fred Sanford when in pain. Searing pain down both or one leg. Pain in buttocks, burning sensation in right knee sometimes. Ive had a chiropractor tell me while lying on my stomach my right side buttocks and back sits up. It was at one time i couldn't close my legs without pain. I have a cooling sensation going down my right leg and i dont want surgery hip surgery 😪 because i really believe its coming from somewhere else. Can you help
Hi Porter, I do not know would need more inof. You can fill out and send patient paperwork from Hesch institute website I will review it and be in tocuh. I have a knee replacement on Dec 30 so will resume patinet care sometime in Februrary
I have the exact same issue and I work in IT as well also has similar adjustments by chiropractor I'm about to loose my job because of this chronic pain Do you accept new patients?
can SI joint cause leg/feet numbness like the l5-s1? Also can it affect the hamstring (my calfs and hamstrings get really tight then in the lumbar area and I can hardly walk thru the store or stand more than 10 min). No treatments for the spine have helped (including steroid injections and surgeons say I am not a candidate for surgery but no one can answer why symptoms severe. even mild-moderate stenosis (have) do not make sense to why I cannot walk/stand) no ne checked S1 joint. what do you think?
Karen, there is much marketing for SIJ fusions which states yes lumping everything together. I have treated SIJD since 1981 and developed the most detailed eval and rx method method for non surgical approach. In my experience, NO. Have you had pelvic MRI? If you would like a consult see the Patient section of hesch institute website. I trust you had a recent lumbar MRI?
Great information!! I suffer from chronic back pain with severe muscle guarding in my low back which is perceived to stem from SI Joint disfunction. The muscle guarding worsens when I lay down and when I get up, my back locks up. Is this SIJ issues, hip/pelvic or lumbar related, also I had a lumbar fusion at L5-S1
@@JerryHeschInstitute thank you sir for the response, and I understand. They are trying to do SIJ injections and ultimately Radio-frequency Nerve Ablations to provide relief, but I would like to hopefully get an evaluation from you to avoid all of those methods. It will have to be in the next couple of months perhaps as I am seeing a local SIJ/Pelvis specialist at the moment.
Could it be possible that the whole right hemipelvis was posterior compared to the sacrum and that explains the tightness of the sacrotuberous ligament after treating the posterior ilium? Maybe it's not possible to perceive that with a forward spring test when he's laying on his back.
Awakened Mind the sij moves such a minute amount (rare exceptions) such that I believe pelvic asymmetry to be the entire pelvis moving on an offset axis this movement with trunk and hips. So no to first question. I always do sitting, prone and supine spring test doing 17 basic ones and later 9 advanced. Diagnosis takes effort but the treatment could be performed by a trained chimpanze.

Have not encountered literature to suggest it is reducible with conservative care but maintaining normal mobility and muscular stability of whole body may help.
Thank you for the response, that’s what I figured. That’s what I’ve been told too. I did get it to move back into place before then re injured it. Sitting on end of sacrum in a tube with hot shower going and back slightly arched for an hour. It dropped in. My guess is hot water stretched muscles and gravity pushed it into place.

Hi Jerry, I’m very impressed with your work. Do you have a list of therapists who are trained to do this in WA? I have a rotated left sacrum, posterior sacrum, tail bone bends to the right, left ilium anterior tilt/inferior and is stuck to the sacrum, left leg appears shorter, multiple disc bulges, can’t do much. Can these be fixed/improved? Thanks
can you elaborate on posterior sacrum, definition, how diagnosed? how do you know tailbone bent right, that is very rare? left anterior ilium very rare saw one this year how is that diagnosed? you can search video: "Hesch spring tests". sorry I just saw your inquiry today.
jerry hesch sr : since original post I’ve learned more from you and your videos. Chiropractor diagnosed mainly through xray. Left ilium measured wider left to right and shorter top to bottom so it was concluded left ilium was anterior exterior. Old chiro thought left ilium was posterior from feel. PT who “aligns” sacrum tailbone and Lumbar said he could feel tailbone bend right. Spring tests and your work should clear up any of my confusions as to what’s going on thanks
Dear Jerry, could an incorrectly prescribed adjustment (passive and prolonged force, your style) lead to the creation of a new layer over patient's existing pelvic disfunction or disturb the normal functioning of a healthy pelvis?
Dmitry Andreyev if the evaluation was not thorough then the treatment might be suboptimal yet my treatments are so gentle that it is hard to imagine them causing harm. We do have a disclaimer in hopes of discouraging inappropriate use of the material they are presented for educational purposes only.
@@JerryHeschInstitute Thank you for the prompt reply! Yes, its true that your treatments are so gentle, and somehow they affect pelvic dynamics.

What is your intuitional opinion on this?
