EXERCISES FOR SACROILIAC JOINT PAIN(Keywords: EXERCISES FOR SACROILIAC JOINT PAIN, sacroiliac exercises, sacroiliac joint exercises, sacroiliac disease )A Swiss chiropractor, Dr Fred Illi, was the first to prove conclusively that the sacro-iliac joint was a movable joint. Prior to that medical anatomists were convinced that chiropractors were quite wrong in claiming that sacroiliac joint could cause pain, needed Chiropractic adjustments and sacroiliac exercises. He took fresh cadavers and with a series of levers and contraptions was able to measure the movement in the joints. The pelvis consists of a ring of three bones, two ilia (no doubt why Fred Illi had such a passion for the pelvis!) and a sacrum wedged between them. Hence the Sacro-iliac joint, or SIJ for short.

Why? Because the cartilage in the joint has no blood supply of its own. It's totally dependent on the fluid in the joint for its nutrition, and removal of waste products.

I do them myself... they take only 40 seconds, time well spent, it will pay a handsome dividend. I NEVER miss! NEVER. You shouldn't either if you have a short leg, chronic SIJ subluxations and pain, sacroiliac disease...
SACROILIAC DISEASEPeople carrying the HLA B27 gene (8% of white Americans, 4% of blacks) have a tendency to get an inflammatory sacroiliac disease called ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS, or Bamboo spine.No one is sure why some patients carrying the gene get the disease and others don't. It's probably related to life style, diet, HOMOCYSTEINE CARDIOVASCULAR metabolism ... and many other factors. Think HEALTHY CHOICE FOODS... Think sacroiliac joint exercises.
Just because you have sacroilac joint pain and are carrying that nasty gene, don't necessarily be fobbed off with "you have arthritis and must learn to live with the pain". In fact even patients with proven AS in the SIJ respond well to chiropractic treatment and exercises for sacroiliac joint pain.
LEG LENGTH INEQUALITYRadiologists have shown conclusively that a short leg causes more arthritis in the hip and knee, and curvatures of the spine.
