Saint Paul Chiropractic Helps Issues in the Sacroiliac Joint
We help a large number of people with back discomfort in our Saint Paul office, and Dr. Slater finds that several cases of back issues start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Research shows that around 25% of all back pain starts out in the SI joint, and now fresh research confirms what we see in our office: chiropractic is an effective approach to treating this problem.
Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps Increase Movement in the SI Joint
In the study released in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, thirty-two women with sacroiliac joint syndrome were split into two groups and asked to engage in one of two treatment methods. The first group was given a chiropractic adjustment only at 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 later, and 30 days after for the individuals who underwent high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation to both the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine. This shows that chiropractic therapy administered in these two areas offers both prompt and lasting results for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even with only a single treatment session.
Therefore, if you are having trouble with sacroiliac joint pain, or live with back and leg discomfort and are ready to find out whether your sacroiliac joint is the cause, a visit to our Saint Paul office may be the first and best step towards feeling better.
