We see a large number of men and women with back pain in our Downtown St. Louis, MO office, and Dr. Holland finds that many cases of back pain start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Investigation shows that about 25% of all back pain starts out in the SI joint, and now fresh research corroborates what we have noticed in our clinic: chiropractic is an effective approach to treating this issue.
In the study released in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 32 women with sacroiliac joint dysfunction were separated into two groups and asked to participate in one of two treatment therapies. The first group went through a chiropractic adjustment isolated to the sacroiliac joint, and the alternate group was given an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine.
Specialists noticed significantly more improvements in both pain and movement immediately following treatment, two days later, and 30 days later for the patients who underwent high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation to both the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine. This asserts that chiropractic manipulation administered in these two areas offers both prompt and long term results for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even with just one treatment round.
So, if you are having trouble with sacroiliac joint issues, or live with back and leg discomfort and want to find out whether your sacroiliac joint is the root, a visit to our Downtown St. Louis, MO office could be the first and best step towards improvement.
