Oh, good. You might ask your gentle guy about a thrust adjustment at the SI. I've seen chiropractors who mainly use an activator pen to move the joints. I like to be man handled because the relief is so quick. It always amazes me how one little joint can pinch a nerve and cause so much trouble. Many chiropractors, probablly your friend too, use both methods.
I have a bit of scoliosis, it's the torque that throws my hip joint.
I'm praying you find relief.
