Good for you, and thanks for sharing your story,

RE: Pelvis - quilty of causing LBP

This post is very timely, because yesterday I had my second osteopathy appointment - and my pelvis was mentioned. I am still in oodles of pain, so I am not listening as attentively as I'd normally do... so can't really elaborate. But your post has given me a few terms which I can google, and see if I can find anything more about.

Check these X-rays and compare them to yours.

Expatient - is that post directed to me? If so, I don't have any x-rays. But if I ever do I'll be sure to compare them with those on that webpage.

Hi v glad to hear you are anexpatient.
I think that many therapists that use this forum dounderstand the pelvis (particularlyof females) is not fixed at the pubis or SI joints and therefore is suceptable to injury/movement/posture.
(many doctorsdont evenknow there isslight movement potential in the cranial bones either.!)

Tell us more aboutyour oneprofessionel with theright approach.
EG methods.you say he pushed your pevis back into alignment did he :-
massagedeepley into all the major muscle groups that link to the pelvis and then adjust slowley or thrust hard?
How many sessions did you need ?
thanks for this v interesting post.
Regards Steve

Hi expatient

I too am interested in the questions Stephen Jeffreys asks. I intend speaking to my osteopath about this, and so I'd like to be know what a successful treatment (like yours) involved.

Yes he pushed it back. Immediately I felt that my legs were no longer different length. Also my pelvis was more flexible. Forward flexion with feet straight was much easier.

I had 5 treatments, because it didn't stay on its place. First time it held 3 weeks. Second 2 days, 3rd again 3-4 weeks,... I noticed it going out by pain. I got immediate low back pain on right side, upper back left side and on shoulder area on right side.

Here some stuff I have been updating about this SIJD...

RE: Pelvis - quilty of causing LBP

Do you have pains in your back, buttog, leg,..? Do you havemuscle spasmsin your back? Headacke? Ischias? Radiating leg pain? Anddoctors don't know what is wrong with you?

They blame your scoliosis, curvatures, bad posture, weak muscles...

Wellcome to world ofSIJD patients. There are millions of us and the doctors don't even believe we exist...

"Each year millions of people suffer with lowback pain. Lower backpain is very common and may persist anywhere from a few months to several years. Many times the source of low back pain can be caused by malalignment of the sacroiliac joint (SI joint) resulting in a sprain. This condition can often remain undiagnosed for several years if your health care professional is not trained to identify the signs and symptoms of a sacroiliac joint problem..."

Even J.F. Kennedy seems to had SIJD, but doctors didn't understand it then, they don't understand it now. Most of them don't believe such a disorder even exists...

"I wonder if there are few doctors would diagnose anyone with an si joint issue. It seems to be something pts will term a patient as having, but I wonder if doctors are aware of this issue. I only wonder based on my own experience of having a brother in law as an orthopedic doctor and scratching his head at the idea of having an sijd. How can that be when theSI ligaments are the strongest in the body, he wonders."

"Recognizing that very few physicians are trained in diagnosing pelvic joint dysfunctions, my judgment is that these are the most frequently amisdiagnosed (or nondiagnosed) conditions in the United States, effecting millions of patients annually."

And effecting how many in world wide? 😉

RE: Pelvis - quilty of causing LBP

From my viewpoint and that of Hanna Somatics the osseous structures of the body are moved by the muscles which are innervated by the brain. Unless a major trauma has occurred. Even when a trauma has occurred the body can adapt to brace the body i.e. limp.

X-rays show misalignment of the pelvis, scoliosis etcbythe images of the vertebrae and pelvis but what si not shown on the x-rays is the muscles which ibn most cases would be holding them their. Reduce the level of tonus and alignment can be improved.

RE: Pelvis - quilty of causing LBP

Of course body adapts. That's where scoliosis and lordosis come from. Thats where uneven shoulders come from. Body creates balance. It corrects one posture error with an other one, but with contraposition. So mistake is corrected with other mistake so that balance is found...

If pelvis gets misaligned the spine has no choise but to follow new line. Butthe body balances that error upper in spine with opposite curve to create balance... And usually you need that third curve too in cervical spinearea so that your head would be straight.

X-rays don't show well SIJD or misaligned pelvis. Or they show them, but doctors ignore them... see some pictures that doctors have ignored:

RE: Pelvis - quilty of causing LBP

Hi,

I have been reading this forum recently as I have suffered from long time lower back pains and reoccuring injuries. I have been diagnosed with several diferent dysfunctions by several different specialists but eventualy I believe I have found the cause to be SI problems.
I found out whilst I have been laid up for the last four weeks, I have had plenty of time for researching flat out in bed ! I'm glad to say I'm on the mend now I think my SI joint has been locked up for years and so it's taking a bit of time/effort to re-align it but I think I'm on the right track.

Anyway, I thought I'd post a link to the web page where I found the document that opened my eyes to the problem. It had a link to a PDF file written by Richard DonTigny (the document the pictures in someones post above were from), I thought I'd post a link to the entire document as it proved to be very useful information for me, the author has several types of exercise and also details of which muscle groups to exercise to help prevent further dysfunctions.

The document that really really helped me!

Good luck all, and as always think positive 🙂 it helps me
