I have a question plz, what if those tests, some feel good when performed and others feel painful. What does that mean? I am still looking for an answer for that. As I am hyper mobile, having SI and lower back pain history for many years. Working on strengths excersize. As a massage thai therapist and nutrition expert, I need to keep learning for better treatment. I'm happy to find your channel 😀 good job 👏 Thank you very much. Looking forward to the answer, I would recommend another video for that. Much respect for your work.
Here's the thing about physical diagnosis: Pain is always multifactorial. I take a biopsychosocial approach to healthcare, so although we can sometimes identify "irritated" structures anatomically speaking, most of the time (especially with chronic pain), pain has more of a neurochemical cause that is not caused by damage, and even beyond that, pain is heavily influenced by other factors like general fully body strength, mood, stress, fear, nutrition, sleep, beliefs, and so on. So I guess what I'm saying is don't put too much stock in a specific sub-clinical diagnosis like "SI Joint Pain" vs. "piriformis syndrome" vs. facet syndrome or other specific joint/muscle claims. Most of the time, these findings don't really change treatment. We still want to zoom out, get the whole body strong, eat healthy, de-stress, and get quality sleep. Since you're a nutrition expert, I'll use a comparison: You can't supplement your way out of a crummy diet. Are people sick because they don't have enough EPA/DHA, B12, CoQ10, etc? Or are they sick because they drink too much alcohol and eat too much processed food? I don't prescribe too many supplements for my patients, for the same reason I don't give "corrective" exercises for specific joints or muscles. I don't want to miss the forest for the trees.
Please! What kind of Dr do I talk to about this to get on a proper treatment plan? I am a truck driver, and have pain in what I believe to be my right SI joing. I saw a pain management Dr who told me I had a slightly bulging disc. I had initally thought that was creating the pain. We did 2 months of PT, no improvement, I had a test block injection, still have pain, they wanted to do a nerve ablation and thats when I stumbled into a chiropractor's office who told me I had a stuck sacrum. I've been going for like 5 months now!? The pain feels more manageable but still no real results. I went to a orthopeadic who went over an MRI I had done who esentially told me my back overall looked good and dismissed me. I was about to schedule an appointment with a different orthopeadic this Monday to ask if he'll do an injection because im so exhausted of being in constant pain. And then I found your video of identifying whether its si pain, disc pain, sciatic pain. Im fairly certain it's SI pain and now I feel even more lost on what to do.
Thanks for sharing your story, unfortunately I hear this all the time from my clients. Have you watched my masterclass yet? It’s a deep dive on research and mythbusting to help you understand what really causes chronic pain and what to do about it. The link is in the pinned comment!
