Chiropractic Therapy Helps Low Back Issues and the SI Joint

Roselle Chiropractic Effective for Problems in the Sacroiliac Joint

We see a large number of people with back issues in our Roselle office, and Dr. Ahmed has noticed that several cases of back issues start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Investigation has revealed that about twenty-five percent of all back pain begins in the SI joint, and now fresh research confirms what we have observed in our clinic: chiropractic is an effective way to treat this issue.

Research Shows Chiropractic Care Can Help Increase Movement in the SI Joint

In the study published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 32 women who suffered from sacroiliac joint dysfunction were split into two groups and asked to participate in one of two treatment methods. one group was given a chiropractic adjustment isolated to the sacroiliac joint, and the other group received an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine.

Researchers observed 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 manipulation administered in these two areas offers both short term and lasting results for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even with just one treatment round.

Therefore, if you are having trouble with sacroiliac joint problems, or have back and leg problems and are ready to see whether your sacroiliac joint is the source, a visit to our Roselle office could be the first and best step towards improvement. Give our office a call today at (630) 295-8851.
