Comments on: THE PSOAS SYNDROME http://thewinger.com/words/2008/the-psoas-syndrome/ Fri, 29 Aug 2008 18:14:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: misty http://thewinger.com/words/2008/the-psoas-syndrome/#comment-30097 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:54:27 +0000 http://thewinger.com/words/2008/the-psoas-syndrome/#comment-30097 I have just complete a round of decompression therapy at my chiropractors office. through x rays we have determined the herniated disk is back in place. I have been left with the most unbelievable hip pain. one of my leg continually gets longer than the other and we adjust for this. I have been away for about 3 weeks and my hip is no better. I went yesterday for a upper decompression treatment from the previous one and now my hip is worse. I have old scar tissue t8 and t12 from compression fractures. this seems to be causing my other vert to be compensating for the stiffness. I now sleep on my back with a pillow under my left leg. The same left hip is the one killing me. I have Rx from doctor for pain but I can tell no difference between hydrocodiene or Advil. The pain is a burning pain if I lay on my side. it starts off slow and intensifies. If I sit for long periods I have difficulty standing and walking. My balance seems affected until I get lossened up. Any help I can tell my wonderful chiropractor would be helpful. This has been going on for 3 months. It was so bad at one point I had to walk with a cane.

But I wonder, if Psoas Syndrome also causes numbness of my thigh and inner side of my leg... Better find myself a good chiropractor. Thanks for the info!!

I still have pain now and then, now I wonder if it's my iliopsoas... this is an amazing post; I’ve had an old hip injury after going back onto pointe after a 3 year break (yeah, not good) which my orthopedic surgeon (not a dance specialist) couldn’t diagnose my problem, saying “It’s probably a muscle thing, take a few Advil…” I still have pain now and then, now I wonder if it’s my iliopsoas…

I'm not clear on the function of the stretch above. "This is the Psosas stretch.." and the image provided could be elaborated upon with instructions for those without access to the apparatus depicted. Thanks! Thanks for this post.

I have scoliosis and when I don't stretch my psoas enough, the tightness exacerbates it. Then it's time for a trip to my chiropractor! Thanks for the nice illustrations and clear description!
