Gadsden Chiropractic Helps Pain in the Sacroiliac Joint
We help a large number of men and women with back discomfort in our Gadsden office, and Gadsden Family Chiropractic finds that quite a few cases of back pain stem from the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Research has revealed that roughly 25% of all back pain starts out in the SI joint, and now fresh research corroborates what we have noticed in our office: chiropractic is an effective way to treat this issue.
Research Shows Chiropractic Therapy Helps Increase Movement in the SI Joint
In the study published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, thirty-two women who suffered from sacroiliac joint dysfunction were separated into two groups and asked to participate in one of two treatment methods. one group was given a chiropractic adjustment only at the sacroiliac joint, and the other group received an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine.
Scientists noticed greater improvements in both pain and movement immediately following treatment, two days later, and 30 days after for the individuals who had been given high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation to both the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine. This asserts that chiropractic treatment applied to these two areas offers both short term and continuing results for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even with only one treatment session.
So, if you are having trouble with sacroiliac joint discomfort, or cope with back and leg problems and are ready to find out if your sacroiliac joint is the root, a visit to our Gadsden office may be the first and best step towards feeling better. Give our office a call today at (256) 543-3033.
