Symptom: Patient has Trouble Moving From Sitting to Standing

For many years, we have wondered what occurred when a doctor took a patient’s legs from position #1 to position #2 and caused the pelvis to raise off the table. After many years and numerous experts investigating the issue, we found that the problem was caused by a hidden anterior subluxation of the sacrum base or a hidden inferior subluxation of the fifth lumbar.

Solution: After completing all basic isolation tests of the lumbars, including position #3, ask the patient to lift both hips off the table. If the pelvic deficient leg reacts in position #1, there is a problem of either an anterior sacral base which may be pressure tested by applying an anterior pressure on the base of the sacrum and observing reactivity of the pelvic deficient leg. If reactivity occurs, make contact on the third sacral tubercle and the line of drive is inferior.

If pressure testing the anterior sacrum does not cause reactivity, then pressure test the spinous process of the fifth lumbar in an inferior direction and observe for reactivity of the pelvic deficient leg. If reactivity of the pelvic deficient leg occurs simply contact the inferior border of the spinous process of fifth lumbar and the line of drive is superior.
