A few people have mentioned lumbar fusion surgery to me recently, as a possible cause for their SI joint dysfunction. I just found the perfect video from a neurosurgeon that addresses this exact issue! The short answer is yes— when you restrict the motion of the spine, the SI joints may compensate by becoming MORE mobile.

Have you ever noticed that, when your SI joints are out of alignment, you get out of breath faster-- even when you're simply just walking? That's because all of the muscles and joints in your body are designed to work together in a certain way. If you throw off one part of the movement system, the rest of it has to work harder. (New post up in the blog— link in bio!). #sijoint #sijointdysfunction #sacroiliacjoint #sacroiliacjointdysfunction #sacroilitis #sijd #sacroiliitis
A lesson I’ve had to learn over and over, at different times in life, is to believe in myself when no one else does. To trust that my problems had an answer, despite the fact that no one else seemed to understand. Every time, it’s turned out to be true— I found answers, but I had to go out and look. This is the attitude YOU need to have, if you’re going to overcome a complex issue like SI joint dysfunction. If people look at you skeptically, ignore them. Move on. There are answers out there for you. #sijointdysfunction #sijoint #sacroiliacjoint #sacroiliacjointdysfunction

Please Note

I’m writing this blog to share what I’ve learned as a patient with SI joint dysfunction.  I do not currently hold any medical certifications.

I hope that what I write here will spark your interest, give you hope, and introduce you to new ideas.  My goal is to help get you pointed in the right direction, and save you some of the time it took me to find answers.  Please consult your doctor before making any changes to your healthcare routine.
