May be add more collagen, like bone broth and reduce flour and sugars to reduce your muscular inflammation. Also, add magnesium supplement as it will help with your pain. Good luck.

      Ignorance is bliss to someone who hasn't experienced it. And the fact that often times a little manipulation and a pop followed by relief of agony cannot be overlooked. It also takes strengthening and balancing the muslcles, core and body alignment to bring long lasting relief. There once was no evidence that the world was round or that we rotated around the sun either. Just observation. Amazing how that works. Hope you find relief from a QUALIFIED professional.

    I want to comment as someone with a severe form of EDS, we can and do fully or partially dislocate all over our bodies daily! Most doctors and even PTs will not believe that someone can have an SI joint dislocation without a severe traumatic cause (car accident, etc). My left hip goes out from simply walking from one room to the next in my house and I just turned 30. Recently the left hip went out but the left side of the pelvis rotated forward and the right side rotated back, so my joint couldn’t pop back in. Luckily I know an excellent PT who taught me how to use my own muscles and movement to correct the pelvic rotation and the upslip on the left side.

    • @Physiotutors

      @charlessteger9939 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As a practicing physical therapist, I too was taught this approach to SIJ assessment, as many still are. Unfortunately, the research does not support this method of assessment for determining the SIJ as the pain generating structure. The SIJ can be the pain generating structure, however, there are specific tests that research does suggest are better at determining SIJ pain. The concept of "hips going out" is an old school concept based on osteopathic approaches that are not supported. It is a concept that fosters dependency. Again, this is not to say that you are not experiencing SIJ pain. However, given your age and certainly a diagnosis of EDS, it is much more likely that you are experiencing lumbar disc or discodural pain that is referred into the SIJ area. What we can all agree on is that if what you were taught works to decrease your pain, fantastic! The mechanism may just be different than what we think. The other thing we can all agree on is that most 30 year-olds, but especially individuals dealing with EDS, need to focus on protection and neuromotor control training of the lumbopelvic spine.

    You said that a chiropractic manipulation should not actually move the hip in relation to the sacrum. I a, still trying to figure out what happened to me. Perhaps you have sone ideas.
    I had treatment for some pain on my RIGHT SI joint. The chiropractor did 5 drops in the bed.
    The next morning, after i started moving, I had severe pain and numbness on my LEFT side - everything from the hip and groin and buttock, and all the way down the back and side of the leg to the foot.
    It rendered me bed bound with agonising pain every time i got up. I started using crutches so i could at least walk around the apartment. The pain reduced and localised but i still cannot walk without crutches a month later. The pain is right over the left SI joint.
    I am fused L5S1 and have a dynamic stabilisation L4L5.
    My doctor has been treating me for SI joint pain with PRP injections.
    My question re the video is that if the chiropractic treatment hardly moves the joint, how could a force on the RIGHT hip do so much damage to the LEFT SI joint? Is it possible he accidentally pushed down on the sacrum and this tore the ligaments between the left hip and the sacrum?
    Any thoughts welcome?

    Let's stipulate that if there's movement in the SI joint, it's extremely minimal. This is ensured by the network of ligaments that surround it; instead of automatically looking at the SI joint as a pain source, it might be more sensible to examine whether there's any laxity in/injury to these ligaments (particularly at their attachment points) that's causing the pain.

      Something that isn't supposed to move at all really is going to cause a great deal of pain when it does minimally move...those ligaments may hurt as well but the misplacement will hurt too.

I’m too afraid of si fuse so I’m looking into a procedure called cornerloc. And it’s not true mine moves down and up like you wouldn’t believe. I place my fist in si and twist and you’d be shocked at the clunk sound. I can literally feel my si move in and out up and down. Also a technique I’ve evented myself because of what my body instinctively craves. Is where I ask family and friends open their hands in a wing position, press left right left right over and over in a tittertotter way. I then with hard pressure will feel the si move into right position and of course a loud thunk. And it’s my body I know exactly where I feel all this and it’s right smack in si. Drs and pt need to start listening to the patients too in order to learn. I’ve been studying the body for around 7 years so I can help Drs diagnose me and help me because I’ve lost my life. Moment I’ve been sucessful of getting it in place where it feels right I immediately have reduced pain. But in order to keep it I have to not move and not moving forever would be great once I get it in.

    This may be true for “normal” people, however it is not true for people with Ehlers Danlos syndrome. My SI joint is currently subluxated to one side and I cannot wait to get to my EDS knowledgeable physical therapist tomorrow so he can help reposition it. I cannot relocate myself this time since I currently have a lot of inflammation in the area from an activity yesterday. We know it’s moving because when one side has an upslip, my one leg “seems” to be a full 1/2” shorter than the other side when I do a bridge and he extends my legs. After the manipulation, my legs appear the same length again and there is immediate pain relief in my lower back and pain & pressure relief on the top of the iliac crest.

      Don't think there is a lot of data on patients with Ehlers danlos. In pregnant women it's still unreliable as movement is around 3 degrees instead of 1. Manual therapy can have an effect on pain, but highly doubt that biomechanics can be changed

      Physiotutors there’s actually plenty of information on Ehlers Danlos patients available if one chooses to look for it. However, it is uncommon and that’s why most doctors aren’t aware. Maybe they don’t believe their patients and choose not to learn, or maybe they just hear hoofbeats and assume it’s a horse, when in fact it’s a zebra like me! The fact remains that your video is spreading false information... but I suppose someone had to graduate at the bottom of their class.

    I disagree. I treat this disorder regularly, successfully. Repositioning pre-post testing as well as pain level reduction is proof. Muscle imbalance is often the culprit, but occasionally trauma causes it. The studies sited do NOT correspond to actual treatment (read: before and after manipulation of actual patients), nor mimic actual testing positions of actual dysfunction. Take a sharpie, mark the SI, and do the Stork test and Gap test yourself. What do you see before and after treatment. There it is. Hinging treatment protocol criticisms on such limited studies is a common trap within PT.

    Historically speaking, physical therapists compared to other professions have been under trained in the evaluation of the vertebral column and the sacroiliac joint complex. It find it disheartening to see a physical therapist criticize other approaches to the sacroiliac joint.
    The studies you mentioned are far and few in between, conducted by competing professions and you fail to mention peer-reviewed studies to the contrary of your attempt to belittle other approaches.
    Your video is typical of a person with a lack of training in the more sophisticated approaches to evaluating and treating the sacroiliac joint. To palpate the sacroiliac joint requires a more advanced and thorough education than a simple physiotherapist education. It takes years and specialized courses to learn the finer points of palpation.
    By the way, I have a training of 6 years in an accredited university in the United States, been a department head in a hospital that has been used in a Harvard University case study, personally visited over 27,000 patients in 35 years of practice, and have been under contract for a serie "A" soccer/football team working in symbiosis with medical doctors and physical therapists in Italy for the last 17 years so I think a young upstart like you should give my comments some thought before you attempt to discredit other approaches.

      So, although it hurts, if you are still able to walk and move yourself, go to an oestopat. It worsened for me to the point I couldn't walk, went to my normal doctor, to a physical therapeut, a reflexologist, a masseuse, and it didn't change much. Hopefully I will now go to an oestopat so he can put things in place. One thing I remember was in a day of stress (rent due) I beat with my large toe on the street and everything worsened from there. I saw a therapist stating that you can move your pelvis by stomping with your toe, no big accident necessary!

      I don’t recall ever hitting my toe against anything or beating it on the ground, I’m not sure how I injured myself aside from maybe decades of sleeping in a bad position, I sleep on my stomach with my knee pulled up and stomach sleeping is supposed to be the worst position to sleep in.
      I’m in America and the way our medical system works is in order for our medical insurance to cover the expense we have to go to our general medical doctor for most things and he or she has to refer us to a specialist if they think it’s needed. We could go directly to a specialist but if we do we would have to pay for it “out of pocket” or on our own and medical services in America are the most expensive in the world I believe. So I have to sadly trust my doctor and hope he knows what he’s doing and refers me to someone if needed. I got rid of a previous doctor who wasn’t listening to me and said there was nothing wrong with me lol, he then said it was back spasms, no it’s not, my mom had those and this is not that… in America doctors aren’t really incentivized to help patients. My new doctor is nice and seems to be genuinely interested in helping me, but like a lot of doctors in America he tends not to listen to what I’m telling him… but I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt… for now… that it’s his process to eliminate possibilities to get to a root cause. I have another appointment tomorrow, I may get X-rays or an mri to see if that will tell us anything.
      Yes of course I will tell you if I get a diagnosis, but to be honest, I feel like I’m a long way off from that and more importantly, in America doctors don’t always diagnose things, especially when it’s pain related, they just try to mitigate symptoms, so there’s a good chance I’ll never have a diagnosis.
      Some questions for you, is your pain on one side, both sides or does it alternate? Do you have a hard time sitting? Do you mostly get the pain when standing from a sitting or bending position? Have you ever experienced pain shooting down your thigh or leg? Where do you have the pain, just the buttocks area (SI joints)? Or also at your waist, pelvis and hip? Do you have arthritis anywhere in your body or any autoimmune disorders? Is there anything else of relevance you think may be important to mention? (Sorry to ask about your personal medical history, that’s private and I obviously respect your decision if you would rather not answer any of those questions, so please don’t hesitate to tell me if you would rather not answer, I won’t be offended).

      It all started in the end of the last Summer I believe, sometimes when I would get up in the morning I would have that shooting pain, if I sitted down to have coffee it was the same, but then the rest of the day, I was usually moving around I would get better.
      I kind of got used to if I would sit then when I would have like one minute or two of horrible pain and then I couls walk normally.
      But I didn't go to the doctor and let time pass, and it got worse. I am glad you are already looking onto it. Then I started to have that sacroiliac pain really bad. To the point I couldn't stand straight, like something is out of place. I guess it always were, but in the beginning I adapted my muscles and nerves to stand and hence that horrible pain. From what I suspect, something is slightly out of place in the sacroiliac and then it affected the rest, but in the beginning what I started to feel was the symptons not the cause, because I would naturally stand upright, I don't know if I am explaining right.
      So the physio teraupeut, my doctoelr, traumatologist they all agree I ad inflammamtion in the muscles, my sciatic nerve was apparently damaged from that effort. Because the muscles, nerves etc were adapting to a new position and straining because something is not well above.

    I had a spinal fusion L4/L5 6 months ago and my lower back right at my belt line kills when I try and standup or anytime my back is not totally straight. If I bend over even an inch forward my back kills. What could be the cause of this? I am not looking for advice just ideas about what I should ask my surgeon when I go in on 10/14. Could it be my bones have not fused? Could it be the spacer they put in digging into my bones? Could it be a disc issue at L5/S1? I can tell when I talk to the surgeon he thinks I should be further along. I was out of the hospital the day of the surgery and off all pain meds and any meds the 2nd day. I was walking about a mile a day the 2nd day after surgery and was way ahead and did nothing but walk for 4 months. Now scratching my head because I am in so much pain in those positions. Laying flat I have zero pain. Sitting down and twisting hurts or bending. Any ideas what I should have looked at. I have a high pain tolerance but I am not able to do simple things without pain. Reaching for something below my waist out in front or to the side of me kills as well.

    Si joint related pain is for real, how do i know? I had it for 3 years. And when i treated it correctly the diiferance was night and day.
    Mine was stuck on one side because of muscle inbalance in the hip muscles. By sitting on a chair and bending sideways, the range of motion differ a lot between left an right. Only because the si joint only moves a little - the movement is a desimeter at the fingertips Don’t listen to someone telling you SI Joint movement doesn’t matter.
    Important things to consider is iliopsas muscle strenght, core muscle balanse and listen to the body pain signals, they tell you a clue where the problem is.
    Also test your core muscles for strength imbalance - i tested mine laying on the floor with straight leg raises, my left leg could’t reach 90 degrees, problem found.

What I can tell you from experience (I'm a clinical specialist OT - Complex Seated Posture and Wheelchairs) is that hypertonia, paratonia and diskynesia, can make joints bend in seemingly impossible ways. Pelvic trauma can result in infinite complexities too. A good caveat for your excellent videos might be "... unless you can associate issues with a significant trauma". A case in point from a commenter below, he knows where it hurts and can associate it with a direct experience with a heavy jack-hammer. 3 degrees does not sound much but that influences about 10cm of ant/posterior movement at shoulder level.

It comes as I stand in the kitchen. I did MRI, which showed that I have an arthritis, a small inflammation on my ride side of back. Recently, I came to know about this word ‘SI Joint’. The symptoms are exactly the same. How to find out whether it is SI joint pain or not. Can it be found out by x-ray ?

    Don’t listen to physiotherapists about abnormal joint movement especially in and around the spine. Most therapists don’t have the clinical knowledge or skill set to diagnose, treat or make these kinds of claims on abnormal orthopaedic issues especially regarding the spine. Even if there are therapists who understand that SI pain is not just as simple as the movement of the joint itself but how the surrounding tissue can have a large effect on it’s movement. There are NO treatments they can offer to those experience pain caused by hyper mobility. If they claim they can do this, it will be frustratingly slow and extremely expensive over time and you probably won’t find the treatment useful. The movement of the SI joint is not as simple as the two research papers this guy has read before making this video. I am genetically predisposed to joint hyper-mobility and had experienced moderate to severe pain in the SI area for 2 years after intense ballet training. Married to an emergency doctor, he referred me to an orthopaedic surgeon. After injecting the area with lidocaine I was diagnosed with SI joint pain caused by slack and looseness of the ligaments surrounding the area, leading to abnormal mobility of the SI joint. Anything over the “2 degrees” of movement, even half a degree of additional movement, can cause moderate to severe pain. I underwent PRP therapy (a non-invasive injection of your own white blood cells that is administered with the use of an ultrasound or CT scan) Treatment causes temporary damage and swelling to any loose ligaments and muscles. This is done in order to initiate the body to undergo the natural process of healing. After the initial swelling subsided, the slack effecting the surrounding tissue had been sufficiently tightened and returned to dance. After 10 or so days, I no longer experienced severe pain from hyper mobility. For most who experience hyper-mobility of the SI joint, more than one PRP injection may be required and follow up every 3-4 years if the pain returns. Please check your resources, physiotherapists, although helpful in many instances, are not doctors nor surgeons, they do not need to go through advanced eduction or medical training to receive a license. The only treatment a physiotherapist are able to administer are massages, cold/heat packs, taping, small manipulations, and ‘doctor advised’ simple exercises to temporarily injured or post operative patients. They simply do not have the eduction to give specialist advice, diagnostics or treatment in all the facets of the spine and surrounding area.
