“Let me first differentiate between belief systems and science.
A belief system is a body of concepts, ideals or narratives that
through written or oral tradition and historical precedent have become an
integral part of a culture. Verification is dependent on faith in its tenets:
Ergo—subjective. A belief system need not concern itself with objective
reality.
This contrasts with science in which theories are
subject to objective evaluation by repeated experiment and measurement. Science
assumes a priori the existence of a measurable objective reality. Indeed,
science is the delineation of this reality. The precision of the replication of
experimental results and the accuracy of theory in making predictions, even when
both observers and theorists may initially have a wide variety of theoretical
considerations, is the affirmation of the scientific approach to the comprehension of the cosmos.” *
SIJD with sub-clinical (cannot be measured objectively such as
with x-rays, MRI’s CT scans, etc., qualifies as a belief-system diagnosis.
Severe pelvic instability is science. It is measured with x-ray,
CT scan, MRI and objective measures such as degrees of separation, whether at
the symphysis pubis joint (primary instability with intact SIJ) or symphysis
pubis instability with subsequent SIj instability. See Tile classification
system.
For any and all who travel to see SIJ “experts” to see if they
need a SIJ fusion with adjustment (a completely subjective thing), you are
entering a world that is objectively named: A BELIEF
SYSTEM.

Michael K. Gainer is Emeritus Professor of Physics and former chair of the
Department of Physics at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, PA. At St. Vincent
he taught astronomy and advanced undergraduate physics courses for physics
majors. He is the author of Real Astronomy for Small Telescopes, published
by Springer in the Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series in 2006. Prior
to his academic career he was a member of the scientific staff at the U.S.
Army Ballistics Research Laboratory at Aberdeen, MD. There he conducted
research on hyper velocity metal deformation in high intensity shock waves.
