We help a lot of patients with back pain in our Hauppauge, Long Island office, and Dr. Cohen has noticed that many cases of back pain start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Research shows 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 clinic: chiropractic is an effective method for treating this pain.
Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps Increase Movement in the SI Joint
In the study released in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 32 women with sacroiliac joint dysfunction 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 was given an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine.
Specialists noticed significantly more improvements in both pain and movement immediately after treatment, two days later, and 30 days later for the individuals who had been given high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation to both the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine. This asserts that chiropractic treatment applied to these two areas offers both short term and long term results for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even with just one treatment session.
So, if you are having trouble with sacroiliac joint pain, or have back and leg pain and want to see if your sacroiliac joint is the cause, a consultation at our Hauppauge, Long Island office could be the first and best step towards recovery. Give our office a call today at (631) 360-7999.
