When you're dealing with back, butt, or sciatica pain- it can be difficult to identify the cause (diagnosis). Let's boil everything down, so that you can determine with a HIGH degree of certainty whether or not your SI Joint is the cause of your pain.
Despite continued advancement in imaging- back problems remain the #1 most common cause of disability in the world.
Could it be a disc problem, facet joint issue, nerve problem, SI joint dysfunction?... all of these questions are something people constantly ask me about. SI joint pain specifically is something that many people are treated for, but are left confused about. With all the terms that are thrown around- inflare, outflare, nutation, counternutation, anterior pelvic rotation, posterior pelvic rotation, upslip, downslips, etc.... figuring out if the SI joint is the cause of your pain can feel like you're trying to solve a never ending puzzle.
So, in this video- I boil everything down, so that you can determine with a HIGH degree of certainty whether or not your SI joint is the cause of your lower back, butt, or leg pain. Buckle up for this in depth training, as here's some of what you'll learn:
- The difference between SI Joint Pain & SI Joint Dysfunction and why one cannot be defined
- All about SI joint diagnostics- boiled down in a way that makes sense…
-- How experts determine if your SI joint is the most probable cause of your pain (with 78% accuracy- no injection needed!)
-- The 3 elements of a sound clinical diagnosis (most docs miss at least 1)
-- The DIY diagnostic algorithm that allows you to pinpoint SI joint pain better than most orthopedic specialists
-- What you need to know: SI joint research you should be aware of
-- How your diagnosis informs your treatment- recommendations for relief
As you can see, instead of jumping right to injections to try and figure out the cause of your pain... it's possible to identify the most probably source of back pain without diagnostic tests and injections- saving you time, money, and pain that comes along with these options.
