SI Joint Dysfunction. Anyone? Anyone?

I have also struggled with this. In my case , my chiropractor was able to fix me up. It took way more than 2 visits, however. I went twice a week for several weeks for ART and adjustments. I only pop in once in a while now , for whatever body part happens to hurt and he will adjust me if he thinks its needed. Funny thing is, I was never a believer in chiro until I started training seriously!

My other therapist had used accupuncture, but the relief was only temporary.

I have also worked diligently on stretching my hip flexors using Yin yoga, also on the advice of my wonderful chiro. He will also do ART on that area and it also helped with the SI pain.

Hope this helps and Good Luck. It will get better, but it might take some time and $$$ to fix it!

Did you have to stop running for a period of time??

I was never in pain when I ran, so I never stopped. I don't do a whole lot of weekly volume though, I have only been running for a year or so. I keep it to about 24k a week, not sure what this is in miles!

The other thing that might help, though not a quick fix is to really work on your core. I use the "hard core" series found on BT and can honestly say it helps to ward off problems.

I thought i had done a lot of core work guess I slacked off! I love pilates so I'm making a point to get on that again. i also found some exercises online.

Did the cortisone injection work? I'm sick of this stuff!!!
