Why your SI joint adjustment keeps coming back

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Doing a chiropractic adjustment, you have  to constantly do it over and over because it doesn't hold up because the muscles aren't  there to support. One of the biggest mistakes that you're going to make is trying to go  and manipulate the hips too early and get it to rotate one way or hip hike the other way, and  all you're going to do is end up hurting yourself worse. Your glute medius and minimus are weak,  your body compensates by forcing the piriformis and TFL to overwork. These muscles then pull your  pelvis out of alignment and put even more torque and stress directly onto the SI joint. You have  to get that foundation down so when you go to manipulate the hips, it's going to hold up. So  you see all these guys online and they do these, you know, different hip manipulation techniques  where maybe you're on your all fours and you're lifting one leg up or you're balancing  like this on one leg. To me, it's just a little ridiculous.If you want to see the full  cues and how to do these exercises exactly, check out our rehab app. The deep— it's  in the details of the video right here.
