We treat a good number of men and women with back problems in our Burton office, and Dr. Elganainy has noticed that quite a few cases of back problems start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Investigation shows that roughly twenty-five percent of all back pain originates in the SI joint, and now new research ratifies what we have observed in our office: chiropractic is an effective method for treating this pain.
In the study released in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, thirty-two women who suffered from sacroiliac joint dysfunction were split into two groups and asked to take part in one of two treatment therapies. one group went through a chiropractic adjustment only at the sacroiliac joint, and the alternate group was given an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine.
Scientists found greater improvements in both pain and movement immediately following treatment, two days later, and 30 days after for the patients 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 short term and continuing benefits for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even after just a single treatment session.
So, if you are dealing with sacroiliac joint problems, or cope with back and leg problems and would like to know if your sacroiliac joint is the root, a consultation at our Burton office could be the first and best step towards improvement. Give our office a call today at (810) 715-7746.
