Q

If I have:
1. pain (persistent, severe) in LBP, sacrum, butt, hip, post thigh and/or popliteal space

  1. pain with touching pirformis, sulcus, or GT
  2. pain with sitting or squating
  3. persistent HIP ER on affected side
  4. can’t lie down or stand comfortably
  5. LE paresthesias
A

PIRFORMIS SYNDROME

17
Q

If there is a side with pain + hypermobility, and other side has hypomobility, what should you treat first

A

HYPOMOBILITY side always first
*treat dysfunction, not side of pain

18
Q

What imaging is best at catching SI joint changes?

A

MRI scans
*disc
*cancer/infection

19
Q

are bone scans appropriate for SI joint?

A

NO
radiographs (acute, osteoporosis/stress fx or trauma)
OR
MRI (best!)

20
Q

If the pelvis/pubic bone fx, will there be another fx?

A

YES (closed loop)

21
Q

joint with decreased mobility should be treated with:

A

HVLAT
mobilizations
METs
ROM exercises

22
Q

joint with excessive mobility/instability should be treated using

A

stabilization ex
NM control ex
external bracing (compression)

23
Q

joint with excessive compression signs should be treated based on…

A

the cause of compression!
1. joint fibrosis–> MOBILIZATION
2. excessive mm tone–> MET, STM, biofeedback

24
Q

What are side effects of spinal manipulation?

A

minor: soreness 1-2 days
major: ischemia, cauda equina

25
Q

exercise, yoga side effects

A

soreness
CV dysfunction
falls

26
Q

acupuncture/dry needling side effects

minor pain, mm soreness, fatigue, bruising
major: damage to structures, infection

27
Q

2 types of NSAIDs

A

celebrex
voltarem

28

A

prolotherapy
*58.7% effective vs 10.2% CS injection

29
Q

____ is injection of autologous biological blood derived product

A

PRP (platelet rich plasma)
*90% effective

30
Q

What are stabilization surgical techniques for SI joint?

A
  1. pelvic fx/dislocation (plates/screws in ilium or sacrum)
  2. si joint fusion (last resort)
31
Q

post op rehab for SI joint surgery looks like…

A

early mobility (1st or 2nd day) *limit stress on healing structures

MM EX:
-isometrics, graded progression

A
  1. pain
  2. nausea/vomiting
  3. infection, blood clots
  4. respiratory issues
  5. GI issues
  6. nerve pain/damage
  7. increased stress (hypermobility on surrounding joints)
  8. hardware migration or failure
