 sacrum subluxation Claudia Anrig,DC

 Sacral region
The sacrum is a triangular-shaped bone and consists of five segments (S1 – S5) that are fused together.
Young and middle age women are more susceptible to developing sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a condition in which pain typically concentrates on one side of the low back and radiates down the leg to the knee or at times, to the ankle or foot.
Back pain or leg pain (sciatica) can typically arise due to injury where the lumbar spine and sacral region connect (at L5 - S1) because this section of the spine is subjected to a large amount of stress and twisting during certain activities, such as sports and sitting for long periods of time.

 Chapter 18 On the Sacral Bone and the Coccyx
This set of six bones corresponds to the three bones which make up the sacrum of the dog; for just as in the dog the topmost bone is greater than the middle and the middle greater than the lowest, so in man the bones are smaller the lower their position on the sacrum.
Sometimes, not infrequently, the sacrum is made of only five bones, showing in almost all its construction nothing peculiar except in the series of foramina that transmit its nerves, as I shall state presently.
The topmost of these three ossicles has its body attached to the third bone of the sacrum in the same way as the lumbar vertebrae are interconnected, as it receives the descending processes of the sacrum with its ascending processes.

 Iron Shirt 3: Spine
Instructions such as "clench the buttocks" and "straighten the lower back" are not specific to the muscles that directly massage the sacrum, and so fail to trigger sacral pulsing, and likewise fail to catalyze the sexual vitality ~ sacrum relationship.
Once the sexual vitality ~ sacrum relationship has been activated, you'll find that exercises that shift the shape of the spine become much more effective, and that the connection of the cranial and sacral pumps becomes much easier to engage.
Realize that, by pulsing the sacrum and drawing jing into the spinal column, you're nurturing nerve plexuses at their roots.
