Hi! I just ordered a belt after having been dealing with this pain for 13 years nonstop - I have difficulty sitting for long periods of time, especially driving, but also a constant need to stretch when walking , the SI pain radiates down my leg from it and is extremely painful, I hope this helps!!
Does this belt actually add support to the joint area, or is it actually more of a gentle reminder to the body’s core/pelvis area to stay active? Thanks in advance. Love the content.
My doc sold me a small and the damn thing only has about 1 inch overlap for the velcro to stick. It keeps falling off. The doc is temperamental so I didn't ask for my almost $50 bucks back.
I have the problem that you are experiencing, let me tell you the belt it self won't heal you. Give it about 8 weeks,and make sure you walk at least 1 hour in the morning afternoon and evening, after a few weeks of rest.👍
It may help with the pain but I would focus on the muscle tightness in the glute and hip muscles. . This will take pressure off of the SI joints and improve mobility.
If you are dealing with a sacroiliac joint problem it will help it heal. Use the belt when you have pain or a position/activity is stressing your SI joint.
The reason this belt works better than your traditional belt is because it is wider and worn 2-3 inches lower. It compresses the area, giving the joints stability and reducing pain.
Actually it'd do the same if it was wider and the material was strong enough to endure the movement and the adjustment. Easy solution: buying a SI belt in Amazon for about 35 dollars .

I hope it helps relieve your pain. Did they rule out a herniated disc as the cause of your radiating pain?
@@drtoddsullivan the pain isn’t in my back at all. It’s on my right side where my tailbone meets my butt.
@@whyjordie ok that makes more sense. It could be caused by instability in the SI joint ligaments which can lead to chronic pain.

It provides support to the sacroiliac joint taking pressure of the pelvic region
Great video Dr I thank you . This belt helps me greatly . Can i wear it to sleep and while doing my nustep @ home ? I thank you .

Golf acts my si joint pain up. Can this be worn my playing to help? Thanks. Cheers.
Yes it can be worn while playing golf.
Did that work for you? I have the same issue. Golfing kills my SI Joint.

Sorry to hear that, having the right size belt makes a huge difference.
@@drtoddsullivan the few seconds it stays on it feels great. I'm ordering a size larger online. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Hello sir, i am having problem of L4-L5, L5-S1 disc bulge.. Will this belt heal pain?
It may help relieve some of the pressure on your lower back injury. I do not think it will heal it completely but it will help.

I have been diagnosed with arthritis in my SI joints. Will this belt help with the pain from that?
It may help with the pain but I would focus on the muscle tightness in the glute and hip muscles. . This will take pressure off of the SI joints and improve mobility.
@@drtoddsullivan thanks, I have been working on that
Will sleeping with this on help me heal?
If you are dealing with a sacroiliac joint problem it will help it heal. Use the belt when you have pain or a position/activity is stressing your SI joint.
@@drtoddsullivan thank you!
No
If it's just a belt that goes around your waist, then why doesn't our BELT FROM OUR PANTS do the same thing? Seems to go in the exact same place.
