Chiropractic Helps Low Back Problems and the Sacroiliac Joint

Depew Chiropractic Care Effective for Issues in the Sacroiliac Joint

We help a lot of patients with back issues in our Depew office, and Dr. Palmer has noticed that quite a few cases of back problems stem from the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Research has demonstrated that about one quarter of all back pain originates in the SI joint, and now fresh research ratifies what we have observed in our clinic: chiropractic is an effective method for treating this issue.

Research Supports Chiropractic Care Can Help Increase Movement in the SI Joint

In the study published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, thirty-two women who suffered from sacroiliac joint syndrome were split into two groups and asked to take part in one of two treatment therapies. one group went through a chiropractic adjustment isolated to the sacroiliac joint, and the second group had an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint as well as the lumbar spine.

Researchers found greater improvements in both pain and movement immediately following treatment, two days later, and 30 days after for the group 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 prompt and long term results for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even with only one treatment round.

Therefore, if you are having trouble with sacroiliac joint issues, or have back and leg pain and are ready to see if your sacroiliac joint is the source, a visit to our Depew office could be the first and best step towards feeling better. Give our office a call today at (716) 668-2225.
