We treat a large number of people with back pain in our South Buffalo office, and Dr. Nowak has noticed that many cases of back pain start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Research has demonstrated that roughly twenty-five percent of all back pain starts out in the SI joint, and now fresh research corroborates what we have noticed in our office: chiropractic is an effective way to treat this issue.
Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Helps Increase Movement in the SI Joint
In the study released in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, thirty-two women with sacroiliac joint syndrome were split into two groups and asked to engage in one of two treatment therapies. The first group received a chiropractic adjustment isolated to the sacroiliac joint, and the alternate 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 post-treatment, and 30 days later for the group who underwent high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation to both the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine. This asserts that chiropractic treatment administered in these two areas offers both short term and continuing results for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even after only a single treatment session.
Therefore, if you are dealing with sacroiliac joint pain, or live with back and leg pain and are ready to find out if your sacroiliac joint is the root, a visit to our South Buffalo office could be the first and best step towards recovery. Give our office a call today at (716) 825-4121.
