Among those I adjusted at The Life West Wave ih Oakland, CA were many with inferior pubic bones and IN ilia. After I find them I always ask, “Do you have SI (sacroiliac) or lower back pain?” Almost everyone answers, “Yes.”
“That’s because your pubic bones are subluxated.”
When chiropractors, osteopaths and others who do bodywork hear a patient complain of SI pain they often address and attempt to adjust (or at least introduce forces to) the sacrum, ilia and lumbars and completely ignore the front of the body.
The key to helping a patient it to remember that working on the painful area may have nothing to do with correcting the problem.
The human body is complex and sometimes downright weird. The pain is not often the problem. Here’s a great example from one of my students, Dr. Lafillte who practices near London, England.
This patient story will soon be in the book KST Ato Z.
A professional dancer had hip pain and had been to a number of chiropractors, osteopaths and bodyworkers. All failed to help her. They all worked on her hip and the related structures. That was quite logical, sensible and in this case wrong.
Instead of addressing the painful area, Dr. Lafitte did what KST practitioners are trained to do: he challenged or “asked” her body what it wanted to be addressed. The clavicle (collar bone) came up!!!
That made no sense but he listened to her body, tapped the collarbone in the required direction and viola – her hip pain completely disappeared.
With KST we ask what the body wants and we often find that a person suffering from sacroiliac pain often needs their pubic bone adjusted.
A slight tap above the public bone I to S and voila – years of SI pain may disappear. I’ve seen this over and over.
It was pretty dramatic, especially since they told me that they’ve suffered for months or years and had seen loads of DCs without relief.
For those chiropractors, healthcare workers and non-professionals reading this I suggest you try it. I recommend using the arthrostim™ adjusting instrument. Just don’t put the instrument directly on the pubic bone – that could hurt. Instead tap just above in the abdomen and point it I to S. The body will take the force and adjust the area. Another advantage of using the arthrostim is that your hands are around 8 inches from the patient’s pubis.
