CHIROPRACTIC HELP FOR SACROILIAC PAIN
The great sacroiliac joint debate: does it cause pain or not? We
won’t get deep into that; however, our Auburn
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 may decrease and/or ease
sacroiliac joint pain reported that manual therapy – though
just which technique of manual therapy is superior
was not well defined 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 of
the 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 decrease 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 ponder Auburn
chiropractic non-surgical manual therapy and maybe a little
exercise to deal with it!

Auburn CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: EXERCISE - GOOD FOR HEART…AND LOW BACK MUSCLE
Exercise is praised for its benefit
for heart health, benefit which emerges 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 found 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 Auburn 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) Time
to add exercise?
In this month of hearts (Happy belated Valentine’s Day),
take care of your heart and spine! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is honored to
