We help a lot of patients with back issues in our Hyattsville, District Heights office, and Dr. Aazami has noticed that many cases of back pain start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Research has revealed that roughly 25% of all back pain begins in the SI joint, and now fresh research corroborates what we have observed in our office: chiropractic is an effective method for treating this issue.
In the study released in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 32 women who suffered from sacroiliac joint dysfunction 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 received an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint as well as the lumbar spine.
Specialists noticed significantly more improvements in both pain and movement immediately following treatment, two days post-treatment, and 30 days later for the group who had been given high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation to both the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine. This demonstrates that chiropractic treatment applied to these two areas offers both short term and continuing benefits for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even with only one treatment session.
So, if you are dealing with sacroiliac joint pain, or cope with back and leg pain and are ready to find out whether your sacroiliac joint is the source, a visit to our Hyattsville, District Heights office could be the first and best step towards recovery.
