How To Sleep With SI Joint Pain - How To Modify Each Position For SI Joint Pain Relief

In this video we'll cover sacroiliac joint pain when sleeping. If you're aching throughout the night when dealing with SI joint dysfunction, then it may be helpful to spot check your sleeping position.
When we discuss SI joints, its really about SI joint REGION pain. This means we need to address the lumbar spine and hips as well as the joints. There are a lot of muscles like the glutes, hamstrings, spinal extensors, and deep core muscles that stabilize this area.
When sleeping prone, sidelying position, or supine, we need to walk through how the joints are positioned and how to unload them with various bolsters to get pain relief.
Whether you're dealing with si joint pain when sleeping or just regular back pain, these sleeping recommendations may be useful to know.

I've had pudendal neuralgia since a very difficult childbirth 49 years ago. I developed severe SI joint pain and sciatica in 2021 after a very difficult cold turkey benzo withdrawal as doc didn't know about tapering. The sciatica finally receded after 6 months, but the SI pain is alive and well, along with the pudendal nerve issue. Last year I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy. All of this makes for a pretty unhappy gramma and I'm searching for answers to fix it all so I can get back to my family. Any suggestions, doctor?

Quick questions...is popping of the upper leg joint when walking part of S.I. pain? Just wondering because i saw a doctor for my low back pain and she thinks i have S.I joint pain. I forgot to tell her about my right leg joint popping when i walk. Thanks for an informative video. Im going to try sleeping like this. ❤

If anyone tries to say that the SI joints can't cause pain, I would invite them to experience life in my body. My joints pop multiple times a day and it's always such a relief when they do.

@SamVisnic 5 ай бұрын

Its not that they "can't" cause pain, but research is clear its extremely difficult to accurately attribute pain to these joints, and in my experience very often its the surrounding structures, soft tissues, etc. that are at cause.

It's usually pretty uncomfortable going to and getting to sleep - but it's the morning - getting out of bed is brutally painful. I've actually buckled before because of it. My heart goes out to those who are suffering from this pain. It can be unreasonably debilitating at times.

I wish I would have watched this months ago! I've been struggling with SI Joint pain, even through Physical Therapy treatment. Often sleeping at night seems to make it feel worse. 2 nights ago I woke up suddenly to what felt like my lower back muscles all seized up very painfully and I was unable to move for a few minutes. Yikes! I'm looking forward to implementing some of your tips while I continue treatment.

I’m sorry I hope u felt better soon I always had a stiff lower back and putting on a sock made it feel worse. Thus went in for 7 years. The other day I suddenly got a huge pain in same lower back and couldn’t move for 2-3 days without pain

Thank you so much , this is super helpful to see with the Skelton. I feel I learned from you . I always use to sleep on my stomach, and I had SI joint , hip and lower back since my teens because I’m hypermobile . I’m in my 50s and last 10 years I had to switch to side or back due to neck pain and it’s made all the pain I mentioned above even worse. I do use pillows like you suggested in different places but I don’t think they were right height or exactly right shape or right positions. So thank you I,ll try your suggestions.

I’ve had SI joint pain in my right joint for over 3 years now. It hurts when I sit down for extended periods of time and has periods of being just unbearable at night. I had a bunch of blood tests done for arthritis and AS which came back normal. Waiting for my doctor to book in a follow up. My health anxiety is just off the charts, constantly googling if I have bone cancer or something really wrong with me. Thank you for your video, I’m still in discomfort but much less so following your tips!

I know what you say, same worries. I ended up with SIJ fusion. But initially my muscles were so tight as in over protecting ( chiropractor said) it’s worth seeing a physio or chiropractor to release that tension - it really helped me but in the end not enough.

I have seen plenty of doctors who can’t fix it so I will try these exercises some of them I have done before. Thanks mate for the advice.

Get a piece of firm foam as a mattress topper. Carefully locate the spot of pain and cut a small circle out of the foam there. Start small, you can always enlarge the hole. This should give you relief.

Great video Dr! I have one question, I have left SI joint pain right now due to a minor flare up. When I do certain stretches:strengthening exercises, my pain gets relieved. Only problem is, when I sleep at night, I am a side sleeper (with pillow between my legs) and tend to toss and turn on both sides. When I do so, that is when I experience the most pain. Is there anyway to stop the pain from happening when moving and turning in sleep??? I’ve slept with my Serola belt with some relief but not sure if it’s right to sleep with it on? Thanks so much!

@SamVisnic 10 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching. Generally, since the SI joint itself moves very little (if at all), I would consider the irritation potentially coming from the lumbar spine if the leg bolster is in place. What I used to recommend for this for my clients that roll around at night is a "Mckenzie Night roll". It looks like a soft tube pillow that can be tied around the waist, so it stays put when moving around at night. Take a look.

Seems like pillow density would need to be fairly rigid, right? To maintain the proper spacing amounts (keep legs & obliques parallel)

As a side sleeper, I've noticed that I tend to twist my hips too much, which is demonstrated by the skeletons position before the foam pads were placed between the knees. My left SI joint is painful to even touch due to my sleeping position. I used to be able to ''crack'' my SI joint, but no longer-it is now fully ''fixed'' and the tension in the joint is sometimes very uncomfortable. I cracked the joint from about the age of 12 until my mid 30's but it will not move at all now.
