I was recomended for prolotherapy for SI joint dysfunction, I have recently been cured by a gluten free (wheat/grain) diet. So glad I didn't do this before trying the diet. I urge anyone else having any joint dysfunction to go gluten free and see if it helps, I started improving immediatly!!!!!
I am a phsical therapist assistant and totally agree with this concept. I have an SI problem and use these techniques on myself with help of course and on my pts to correct the mal-alignment of the joints involved. I remain painfree.
This video has addressed all of my problems!!! lower back pain, misaligned hip/leg, and numb ache in upper thigh. Thanks so much for uploading! I also recommend anyone with similar to use aswiss ball and Pilates to strengthen core muscles and lower back.
what are his credentials? I am a physical therapist assistant and am currently in school working on my doctorate of chiropractic. i have treated a great number of back pain patients and would NEVER reccommend this video to anyone. this "getting stuck" he speaks of.... is a misalignment! and these "thrusts" he shows are freeing the joint... ok so this is partly what chiropractic is based on. it is true. it is supported by research. it DOES occur in the spine and at ANY joint in the body
i got this (prp) in my patella tendon in my knee, as im 6'7 and suffer from jumpers knee, because i play basketball. Its been about 4 weeks, and although the tendon doesnt hurt as much as it did the day i got it (like hell) its still significantly sore. anyone have any ideas how long this will last, or until the pain is completely gone from the knee? thanks!
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I employ this technique on a daily basis with patients. It works well, but the results are typical not long lasting. The underlying cause of the pelvic imbalance must be addressed in order to fully resolve pt symptoms.
Also, I'd disagree with the videos initial comments about "the spine doesn't get misaligned". Inter vertebral positional faults are very common particularly in patients with postural dysfunctions.
I had a pubic symphysis diastasis of 4.8 cm while giving birth. It led to pelvic misalignment and severe SI joint pain. My physical therapist made me do these exercises and they helped a lot! Now that i have stopped going the pain is back and i think i should continue doing them myself.
i bought the iyashi wand from iyashiwand.co.uk for my wife who has Rheumatoid Arthritis, the wand also helps relieve many other pains, i hope this helps anyone who suffers from this condition
Well the way he is instructed to train his quads will stretch his hams probably more effectively than classical stretching methods, so all in all it will work.
the problem with this patient seems to be a shorted hamstring possible imbalanced and all the adjustments done will need to be done again and again, so what he needs to do is stretch the hamstring and rethink his running regime (he shouldn't be that tight) I agree with the quads strengthening but that was done in a compromised method, no way will it increase the man's quads like that. otherwise good video, prosit
I love my chiropractors and they've been immensely helpful, but this exercise here has me feeling better than I have in years so thanks for taking the time to post it!
Liked the analogies and descriptions, and learned a few things. Controversial to disbelieve in spinal misalignment, although I agree about "slipped" discs, but not my area of expertise to comment on.
Great explanation!!!!!! I wish EITHER my back Doctor OR my Chiropractor took the time to tell me all this. They just like looking at me and taking my money. Injured my L5 disc 7 months ago, and no one tells me anything about how (or why) to treat it. I wish you were my Chiropractor! Going to start looking for new professionals to help me this New Year......... lots of shitty Doc's out there.
that stuff works wonders. i have one leg shorter than the other and had pain going down the back of my thigh. its been an ongoing thing since i was 16...now 26. now i am having radiating hip/thigh pain on the opposite side. i would literally limp in there, then leave feeling no pain at all after the adjustment and an ultrasound. time to go to the physical therapist.
I also stated that all those negative commenters seem to be or into newageyogiswamibullsh*t, or non physicians whatsoever, with a minimal account.
I have been a butcher for 20 years, and know from pigs that SI joints have an irregular hooked form.
These techniques cured a lot of people from pains where a common doctor said "i don't see nothing, so here you have some painkillers to get hooked on here's the bill"
If you are not sure, let your pt see the vid, and comment it. (like i'm doing)
I've been dealing with lower back pain for about 2 years now. I finally found out about the SI Joint dysfunction from a friend yesterday. This video was great! I'm not scared to see a chiro now. I'd heard too many horror stories beforehand, but if it's this easy of a fix... Thanks so much!
Hey, I like your style AND your knowledge!!! We need more medical professionals like you out there helping us out of our pain instead of all those money hungry back surgeons out there. KEEP IT UP, MY FRIEND!!!!
I am familiar with the adjustments you are suggesting. I have had them many times but they would not hold. Maybe because I was never shown the exercise you show at the end of the video. I'll try that from now on. thank you.
@AFumiere the reason they don't hold is because this does not address the cause of the pelvic misalignment, which is in most cases, nerve interference due to misalignment of the upper neck.
Can anyone tell me a list of names of surgeons who perform the surgery in Australia? And if not the USA/Canada? It is very difficult to find in Australia but I will travel to America if necessary.
My spine mri is normal but I had a serious fall and severe pain around the si joint ever since, $45000 spent on all other treatments over 8 years but little improvement. Can not sit down or lie down or do a host of other tasks. Just want to get my life back.
No such thing as a slipped disk? That's incorrect. The spine can not be out of alignment? Dude, I've seen the spondylothesis in my own back (which is a misalignment in my lumbar spine) on a standing xray done by my chiropractor who I started seeing a few weeks ago. The guy took my life-long low back pain away in less than a few sessions. I don't doubt that some of what you do does help, but don't discount other things that work as well.
I have a vacuum in both of my SI joints and it causes such intense pain! After walking for a distance I can't walk very well the next day. Maybe this will help me?
@enrosque333 You're 100% correct. The spine can and does go out of alignment. It's called abnormal posture. More technically, the spine can rotate & translate in 6 degrees of freedom. There is also abnormal sagittal alignment problems (such as a hypolordosis or reversal of the normal lordotic curves).
The PT in this video has some neurological basics but what he chooses to ignore is that the PT profession is implementing manual manipulation/adjustment techniques into its programs.
The chiropractic adjustment is what the PT's want because it works both in the pelvis, extremities and throughout the spine. By the way, the axial traction force with the 'quick thrust' is a non-specific Hip joint adjustment. Congratulations for showing almost 11k viewers what one hip adjustment looks like!
Amazing! MD's, PT's, and DO's want to own chiropractic's spinal adjustments, but in the same vien denegrate chiropractic and deny deviations in the juxta positions of both intervertebral and axial joints. CHIROPRACTIC!!!
So let me get this straight. The PT in this vid says the SI (sacroiliac joint) can be disturbed but not an uncovertebral (facet or spine) joint? Woah! People! Think about it. We are able to forward bend, extend, laterally flex, and rotate our spine due to the vertebral (facet) joints. Now have you ever felt a "kink" in your spine? Now you got it straight...ooops! CHIROPRACTIC!!!
Sean a misguided PT? "No such thing as a vertebrae out of place". Wow! He means for all to believe that millions of chiropractic patients have been scammed? The most educated and fastest growing health care provider (DC)(I see 525 pv/week, 40 new patients a month) fooled everyone? CHIROPRACTIC!!!
I have an SI joint problem, and a therapist helped me and I haven't had a problem since last year, BUT this past Wednesday, I moved the wrong way and I believe I through the darn thing out again. I don't have the pain in the back, I have pain in the hip. I believe I'm stuck in an upslip? I deon't relish the thought of going back to an orthopedist, but I guess I'll have to. This video is great, wish I had someone to help me. Sigh
Wow, this is great information. You are very clear and informative

So the doctor treating me (he did a 6 year university study for it) is a quaker?
For he did the same tests, and saved me from backpain without getting Jesus, Buddha, ghosts and tarotcards in, or wave with leaves and chickens.
I do not know about mr. Symons qualifications, but with common sense i see he applies the same techniques that cured me.
