My SI knocks and pops when I lift my knee up and down to chest level. I have horrible pain, but not when I do that. My pain is in my pelvis and legs, 80% on the right side. It comes from a "club foot" that was not repaired 46 years ago.

i don't know what a cronic stretch is. but if you throw one leg over the other while lying down, does the SI joint pop? if you try the other side, does it not pop?i propose that the side that pops is the more stable side and the side that doesn't pop, is the fixated - the primary problem side.

Is the "chronic stretch" why my joint pops or clicks all the time? Will is stop clicking with stablization? Also, should I not stretch my hip out and to the side? It feels good to release the tension in my SI joint area but am I doing more harm?

Im seeing a spinal phyiso (in melbourne) for spinal and sacral probs from playing lots of sport, i find theyre much better than chiropractors..they use gentle mobilisaition instead of 'cracking' the joint.Gd luck!

ostheopatic and soft tissue manipulation should do the trick

be very scared if u use a self correction technique like dontigney's without restricting movement to sacrum,e.g. if u posteriorly rotate an anteriorly rotated innominate and u don't restrict movement in the scrum, the rotation can affect the other SI joint and/or mal-align the SI joints more.i've NEVER seen a chiropractor who understands the problem(i've seen alot).in australia,their appnts r 2 short and u keep ur clothes on & like most of the health profession,they just don't have a clue.

Thanks for the reply- if my many years of correcting the SI subluxation I have found that by motion palpation and radiographic positional study, a series of specific Chiropractic adjustments correct the misalighment. BTW- I use Gonstead technique. Your terminology of upslip and downslip are actually termed (PI for Posterior Inferior and AS for Anterior Superior). The direction of subluxation.

Unfortunately this has not been the experience for hundreds of our patients.1. We have had many chiropractors who have been thrilled to learn our techniques for SI joint stabilization.2. Treating the SI joint complex requires special training (because of rotation combined with an upslip or down slip).3. It usually requires six weeks of regular mobilization before it will remain in place. The patient can be tught to do this.Patients who do not experience relief may find our methods useful.

This ALL can be fixed by getting a specific CHIROPRACTIC adjustment.

Yeah! Where are the stabilization techniques???I've also been suffering for two years and am finally at an SI joint dysfunction diagnosis. I've been through 8wks of PT with not much relief! Apparently my docs and therapist aren't as savy about the SI joint as this therapist is. After watching this video I've finally made the connection to why I'm feeling like I need to urinate again when I've just finished. Geesh!
