CHIROPRACTIC HELP FOR SACROILIAC PAIN
The great sacroiliac joint debate: does it cause pain or not? We aren’t get deep into that, but our Murfreesboro back and leg pain sufferers may experience pain in the sacroiliac joint. Some medical approaches today fuse the sacroiliac joints, inject them, etc. (1,2,3) In the conservative world, an analysis of how manual therapy might reduce and/or alleviate sacroiliac joint pain documented that manual therapy – though just which manual therapy technique is best was not well defined in all the studies they read – statistically significantly boosted disability due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction syndrome. (4) There is always room for additional research! Another study contrasted the impact of manual therapy, exercise, and a combination of those two on sacroiliac pain dysfunction. All three groups were shown to have experienced a significant reduction in sacroiliac-associated pain. The researchers stated in their conclusion that manual therapy was effective over 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 consequence in your back pain condition, let’s consider Murfreesboro chiropractic non-surgical manual therapy and [possibly even|maybe]70] a little exercise to address it!
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Michael McMurray on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that incorporates exercise.
Murfreesboro CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: EXERCISE - GOOD FOR HEART…AND LOW BACK MUSCLE
Exercise is admired for its benefit for heart health, benefit which appears after a few weeks or month of exercise. Researchers are sharing that even single or short-term exercise sessions offer benefit! They tested this and discovered that short-term exercise-induced protection provided immediate cardiac protection (like decreasing the magnitude of cardiac/vascular damage due to long-term ischemia) at low cost and in a simple way. (6) We have a feeling that our exercise-adverse Murfreesboro chiropractic patients will like this! Just one exercise session may offer benefit. That’s the first step! And more bonuses of exercise for low back pain sufferers are documented. A rehab exercise program for normal and overweight patients showed improvement in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein as well as improvement in cardiovascular risk and lumbar muscle. (7) Time to add exercise?
In this month of hearts (Happy belated Valentine’s Day), take care of your heart and spine! Most Chiropractic Clinic is honored to be your Murfreesboro chiropractic partner in this endeavor. See you soon!
