"Nice compliment.
After having some big setbacks and flare-ups in the last month I decided to go see Jerry Hesch near Las Vegas. I saw him over three days and he was full of information for me. My sacrum was completely stuck out of place by the time I got there which was good because he could see my full dysfunction; he saw me at my worst! He evaluated me from foot to head and corrected my pelvis/sacrum. I finally have a name for my dysfunction: “bi lateral inflare of the illia” and “ posterior glide fixation of the sacrum”. He corrected it very gently and showed my husband how to do the correction. Jerry’s initial correction lasted five days, including one day of air travel, it has relapsed since, but because of the training we received we have been able to do the correction ourselves at home. On our first attempt, we weren’t quite getting it so Jerry walked my husband thru it on the phone. I can’t even tell you the relief I feel of knowing what is wrong and being able to correct it. None of those self corrections were ever totally working before. Even though I have had some good local people help me before, my main problem was never thoroughly diagnosed or addressed. Unfortunately, like a lot of you in the group I am hyper mobile all over so need to be careful. Jerry also addressed some stuck joints in my foot, shoulder and neck/sternum. He also did a lot of problem solving around a strange twist in my torso that I get when I lean forward. The first day he just said “I don’t know” and the second day he had me do all kinds of things to figure out where the heck it was coming from. It turns out my right hip joint is much looser than the left and this is causing the twist and is also making my right leg appear longer and my right illium higher in standing. (Jerry, correct me if i am not explaining right.) Jerry suggested I see a hip specialist but in the meantime gave me an exercise that may help it along with some other simple strengthening exercises and tips in doing daily activities. He also suggested trying a heel lift in the left shoe. He has a wealth of knowledge, but what is also impressive is that he has a lot of intellectual curiosity and great problem-solving skills. Instead of fitting my condition into his existing bag of tricks, he took the time to analyze a problem when he hits an unknown area or a sticking point. I would highly recommend him to anyone who doesn’t understand their dysfunction and wants a thorough evaluation from a thoughtful and analytical practitioner. The best part was that we never felt rushed like you do at a regular PT or doctor’s appointment. He is not a radiologist but also goes over your x-rays and MRI’s with you and examines them before you arrive. I am very glad I went and feel hopeful." Comments are closed.
