CHIROPRACTIC HELP FOR SACROILIAC PAIN
There is debate about whether the sacroiliac joint causes pain, be we aren’t get deep into that, but our Tonawanda back and leg pain sufferers may feel pain in the sacroiliac joint. Some medical approaches today fuse the sacroiliac joints, inject them, etc. (1,2,3) In the conservative world, an analysis of how manual therapy may decrease and/or alleviate sacroiliac joint pain revealed that manual therapy – though just which technique of manual therapy is best was not well defined in all the studies they read – statistically significantly boosted disability due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction syndrome. (4) There’s always room for more research! Another study juxtaposed the effect of manual therapy, exercise, and a combination of those two on sacroiliac pain dysfunction. All three groups were shown to have had a significant reduction in sacroiliac-associated pain. The researchers stated in their conclusion that manual therapy was effective over the long term for sacroiliac joint pain decrease and that adding specific exercise to the sacroiliac joint manipulation treatment raised the effectiveness. (5) If we find sacroiliac pain to be of concern in your back pain condition, let’s ponder Tonawanda chiropractic non-surgical manual therapy and [possibly even|maybe]70] a little exercise to deal with it!
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Michael McMurray on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that includes exercise.
Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: EXERCISE - GOOD FOR HEART…AND LOW BACK MUSCLE
Exercise is praised for its benefit for heart health, benefit which appears after some time of exercise say weeks or months. Researchers are discussing that even single or short-term exercise sessions offer benefit! They verified this and discovered that short-term exercise-induced protection provided immediate cardiac protection (like lessening the magnitude of cardiac/vascular damage due to long-term ischemia) at low cost and in a simple way. (6) We have a feeling that our exercise-adverse Tonawanda chiropractic patients will like this! Just one exercise session may offer benefit. That’s a first step! And more bonuses of exercise for low back pain sufferers are documented. A rehab exercise program for normal and overweight patients showed improvement in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein as well as improvement in cardiovascular risk and lumbar muscle. (7) Are you ready to add exercise?
In this month of hearts (Happy belated Valentine’s Day), take care of your heart and spine! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is pleased to be your Tonawanda chiropractic partner in this effort. See you soon!
