CHIROPRACTIC HELP FOR SACROILIAC PAIN
There is debate about whether the sacroiliac joint causes
pain, but we
aren’t get deep into that; however, our McHenry
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 realm, an analysis of
how manual therapy might reduce and/or ease
sacroiliac joint pain revealed that manual therapy – though
just which technique of manual therapy is superior
was not clear in all the studies they read
– statistically significantly enhanced disability due to
sacroiliac joint dysfunction syndrome. (4) There’s always room
for additional research! Another study contrasted
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 concluded that manual therapy was effective in 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 find sacroiliac pain to be of concern in your
back pain condition, let’s discuss McHenry
chiropractic non-surgical manual therapy and possibly even a little
exercise to deal with it!

McHenry CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: EXERCISE - GOOD FOR HEART…AND LOW BACK MUSCLE
Exercise is commended for its benefit
for heart health, benefit which emerges after some time of exercise say weeks or months. Researchers
are sharing that even single or short-term exercise sessions offer
benefit! They verified this and discovered that
short-term exercise-induced protection provided immediate cardiac
protection (like reducing the magnitude of
cardiac/vascular damage due to long-term ischemia) cheaply and easily. (6) We have a feeling that our
exercise-adverse McHenry chiropractic patients will like this! Just
one exercise session may offer benefit. That’s a first step! And more
advantages of exercise for low back pain sufferers are detailed.
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) Are you ready
to add exercise?
