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 Toronto back and leg pain sufferers may have 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 may decrease and/or relieve sacroiliac joint pain revealed that manual therapy – though just which manual therapy technique is best was not clear in all the studies they read – statistically significantly boosted disability due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction syndrome. (4) There’s always room for more research! Another study juxtaposed the effect of manual therapy, exercise, and a combination of those two on sacroiliac pain dysfunction. All of the groups were shown to have experienced 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 elevated the effectiveness. (5) If we find sacroiliac pain to be of concern in your back pain condition, let’s discuss Toronto chiropractic non-surgical manual therapy and [possibly even|maybe]70] a little exercise to deal with 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.
Toronto 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 tested this and discovered that short-term exercise-induced protection offered immediate cardiac protection (like reducing 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 Toronto chiropractic patients will like this! Just one exercise session may offer benefit. That’s a first step! And more bonuses 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! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is honored to be your Toronto chiropractic partner in this project. See you soon!
