CHIROPRACTIC HELP FOR SACROILIAC PAIN
The great sacroiliac joint debate: does it cause pain or not? We will not get deep into that, but our Fort Wayne 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, a review of how manual therapy might reduce and/or alleviate sacroiliac joint pain documented that manual therapy – though just which manual therapy technique is superior was not described in all the studies they reviewed – statistically significantly boosted disability due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction syndrome. (4) There is always room for more research! Another study juxtaposed the impact of manual therapy, exercise, and a combination of those two on sacroiliac pain dysfunction. All of the groups were shown to have had a significant reduction in sacroiliac-associated pain. The researchers stated in their conclusion that manual therapy was effective in 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 consequence in your back pain condition, let’s ponder Fort Wayne chiropractic non-surgical manual therapy and [possibly even|maybe]70] a little exercise to address 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 incorporates exercise.
Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: EXERCISE - GOOD FOR HEART…AND LOW BACK MUSCLE
Exercise is praised for its benefit for heart health, benefit which emerges after some time of exercise say weeks or months. Researchers are sharing that even single or short-term exercise sessions produce benefit! They verified this and discovered that short-term exercise-induced protection provided immediate cardiac protection (like decreasing the magnitude of cardiac/vascular damage due to long-term ischemia) cheaply and easily. (6) We have a feeling that our exercise-adverse Fort Wayne chiropractic patients will like this! Just one exercise session may offer benefit. That’s a first step! And more advantages of exercise for low back pain sufferers are detailed. A rehab exercise program for normal and overweight patients documented improvement in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein as well as improvement in cardiovascular risk and lumbar muscle. (7) Time to add exercise?
In this month of hearts (Happy belated Valentine’s Day), take care of your heart and spine! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is pleased to be your Fort Wayne chiropractic partner in this endeavor. See you soon!
