CHIROPRACTIC HELP FOR SACROILIAC PAIN
There is debate about whether the sacroiliac joint causes pain, be we are not get deep into that, but our San Jose 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 ease sacroiliac joint pain reported that manual therapy – though just which manual therapy technique is superior was not described in all the studies they reviewed – statistically significantly improved disability due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction syndrome. (4) There is always room for additional research! Another study juxtaposed the effect of manual therapy, exercise, and a combination of those two on sacroiliac pain dysfunction. All 3 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 reduction and that adding specific exercise to the sacroiliac joint manipulation treatment raised the effectiveness. (5) If we discover through our examination that sacroiliac pain is of concern in your back pain condition, let’s ponder San Jose 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.
San Jose 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 discussing that even single or short-term exercise sessions offer benefit! They tested this and discovered that short-term exercise-induced protection offered immediate cardiac protection (like decreasing the magnitude of cardiac/vascular damage due to long-term ischemia) at low cost and in a simple way. (6) We know that our exercise-adverse San Jose 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 reported. 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! Chiropractic Solutions is pleased to be your San Jose chiropractic partner in this project. See you soon!
