Chiropractic Therapy Treats Low Back Pain and the Sacroiliac Joint
Alexandria Chiropractic Helps Problems in the Sacroiliac Joint
We treat a good number of people with back pain in our Alexandria office, and Dr. Wagner finds that many cases of back issues start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Research has revealed that about twenty-five percent of all back pain begins in the SI joint, and now fresh research corroborates what we have observed in our clinic: chiropractic is an effective approach to treating this problem.
Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps Increase Movement in the SI Joint
In the study published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, thirty-two women with sacroiliac joint dysfunction were separated into two groups and asked to engage in one of two treatment methods. one group was given a chiropractic adjustment isolated to the sacroiliac joint, and the alternate group was given an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine.
Researchers found significantly more improvements in both pain and movement immediately following treatment, two days post-treatment, and 30 days later for the individuals who underwent high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation to both the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine. This suggests that chiropractic treatment administered in these two areas offers both short term and lasting benefits for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even after just a single treatment round.
Therefore, if you are suffering with sacroiliac joint discomfort, or cope with back and leg issues and are ready to find out whether your sacroiliac joint is the cause, a visit to our Alexandria office may be the first and best step towards recovery. Give our office a call today at (859) 448-0056.
