Hello- wow, I am so scared reading this. Has anyone ever heard of a long term success story for this? Also, I hate to say it, but what is the difference between this sacroiliac dysfunction and Wikipedia reference-linkscoliosis?

Any success stories (from someone over say 40?)

I ask this because I have begun looking for help with this. For me the problem showed up in my feet with one foot over pronating and various foot complaints that I now know were neurological- (I have had the nerve conduction studies and it has show l4 is denervated- maybe more, they only tested L4.)

My feet are now much much better. But I am now hugely aware of my rotated pelvis. I don't know how long its been like this. I suspect it has been rotated for awhile but then furthur rotated this winter, causing the Wikipedia reference-linkradiculopathy.

I hear what one poster was asking re trying to exercise while out of alignment- I fear that too, because wouldn't that just be strengthening the malaligned configuration? I can "force" alignment on myself by sucking in my guts as very hard as I can but its hard to maintain when I am out of alignment- which is the large majority of the time (and fyi- I am not overweight or unathletic though yes, we all can imporve our core strength)

In my case, my pelvis has begun to "derotate" periodically after a couple of months of core work. Like someone said, for a couple of hours here and there but then it springs back. It first derotated on June 15. Then this week it stayed derotated for 2.5 days but for whatever reason sprung back to where it was 2 months ago- just so incredibly scarey for me. Not just because it feels so bizarre but when it is fully rotated like that I guess it is stretching the nerves etc and that is when I feel it in my leg and foot.

It has been an emotional rollercoaster for me - elated when aligned and just so demoralized when it springs back.

I have noticed that it is in my spine and shoulder too- my pelvis is rotated to the left and so too is my left shoulder. And they seem to get better/worse together. My spine on the other hand is rotated to the right- I can rotate left but it is much harder (try it by making absolute sure you don't move your pelvis and you will be surprized!) This week when I stayed derotated, I cheated by keeping my left shoulder tucked forward (deliberately) and by sitting in a chair with my legs crossed the opposite way and with a facecloth under my shoulder- I am not sure if this is why I stayed "aligned") I am really scared. I am only 49.

I got simple standing spine xrays and they came back saying my spine is rotated to mid-thoracic level- but it just says that- just a statement that it is rotated- no reason or anything. And it says no lateral deviation. So my GP , who really has no idea, says maybe its just muscle imbalance and I need to derotate myself? I hope she's right but if you could feel my body, it feels like it really really fights against being aligned. One physio said theres nothing she can do, another has me doing Functional exercises to achieve muscle balance but I often feel wosre after doing these (basically steping front and side with a theraband resisting). And it is very complicated- one chiroprator stretched my left psoas and it felt so wonderful but the next day I was worse than ever and I can't help thinking that he stretched a muscle that was holding my alignment- like just because a muscle is tight- maybe it shouldn't be stretched! And I need to be very careful doing pelvic bridges- that is what made things worse, when a PT prescribed these without knowing my pelvis was rotated- imaging doing bridges with one hip lower that the other- that was when I felt my upper back go out of whack.

Man, I mean, this is a nightmare really, like, I feel like Frankenstien.

sorry for the ramble but personally I have learned so much from internet forums that I feel I should add my 2 cents in case anything I say may help someone else. But do be careful with the exercises for sure!

Also, I am just so shocked at the lack of information/knowlegdge on this. I had one chiro and one massge therapist even deny that my pelvis was rotated. My GP is clueless. The raidiologits obviously- I dunno, outside his scope. After doing research on tyhe internet I see that this is a pretty common problem .

Does anyone have any comments on this?
