Back in the 80s, after running 3 marathon in 4 months (yeah, real smart) I developed severe back, hip and hamstring pain, tingling in my foot and throbbing in my big toe. One and a half years later, after seeing 2 different Orthopedic sports medicine docs and 2 different Chiropractors, and getting a different diagnosis and treatment from each of them, I was still in pain, not running and ready to toss in the towel. <br /><br />I went and talked to a runner at Bill Rogers’ Running Store and he gave me a name of a Chiropractor in Hingham that “all the guys here go to”. He was treating several elite runners at that time and got me back to running in 2-3 months. It took me a while to heal because I received the wrong treatment for so long. I have occasional flair-ups that require an “adjustment”, but I no longer need to go on a regular basis. Without him, I’m sure I would not be running today.<br /><br />I know Hingham is probably too far for you to travel but if you call his office he may know a Chiropractor in your area that can help you. The Chiropractor needs to practice SOT (Sacro-Occipital Technique), most don’t. It’s the only thing that’s effective for SI joint issues. <br /><br />The name of my Chiropractor is F. Michael Blair - (781) 749-3365. I’m not sure if he will know anyone near you but it’s worth a shot. Please tell them I referred you. My last name is Scotina.<br /><br />Good Luck!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794019045620435180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835864482386356354.post-58615817394258405892009-04-19T12:50:00.000-04:002009-04-19T12:50:00.000-04:00Take care Steve.

Heck, I'm just surfing the web playing doctor anyways. Sounds like I have some real experts with Jim and Chelsea :-)<br />My muscle soreness seems to get better each day (although slowly). The sharp pain is actually near my hip, right above the bony part (IT band attachment?). All the other stuff is just incredibly tight.<br />I'm not one that usually stretches. I realized years ago that I would never be 'flexible' and stretching didn't seem to help me. So most of the stretches I'm doing now via doctors orders I can't even do the same as the picture because I'm so darn inflexible.<br />My real concern is this vertigo. I'll feel perfectly normal, bend down or stand up and then feel like I just finished a game of 'place your head on a bat and spin around in circles until you puke'.Jedi Dadihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10366099879750641360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835864482386356354.post-87303377261005892822009-04-17T23:35:00.000-04:002009-04-17T23:35:00.000-04:00I'm sorry to hear this, Steve.

It'll flair up (i.e., causes my lower back/butt/hamstring to spasm severely) if I run, walk, sit, or stand too much. No fun. I hope you're able to get everything back in order again soon!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635438487419719442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835864482386356354.post-1832360957180010162009-04-17T16:31:00.000-04:002009-04-17T16:31:00.000-04:00...and you are right, everything is interconnected......and you are right, everything is interconnected. I know when I started getting my SI joint properly positioned a few months back my chronically tight hamstrings completely loosened up as well as the pain and tightness in my hips disappeared. I just have to figure out how to keep everything in proper alignment. <br />JimJim Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350710709762823429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835864482386356354.post-45566734677820837692009-04-17T16:26:00.000-04:002009-04-17T16:26:00.000-04:00Steve,

I have been reading some interesting stuff lately on SI joint malalignment as well as well as information on the visual system and balance problems. Let me know if you want some pointers.<br />JimJim Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350710709762823429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835864482386356354.post-82205228378005493442009-04-17T15:02:00.000-04:002009-04-17T15:02:00.000-04:00There's always May right? take careThere's always May right? take careTamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014866850399265709noreply@blogger.com
