Noblesville Chiropractic Therapy Treats Issues in the Sacroiliac Joint

We see a good number of men and women with back discomfort in our Noblesville office, and Dr. Dahlager finds that quite a few cases of back problems start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Research shows that around twenty-five percent of all back pain originates in the SI joint, and now new research corroborates what we have observed in our clinic: chiropractic is an effective approach to treating this problem.

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

In the study published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, thirty-two women with sacroiliac joint syndrome were separated 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 alternate group had an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine.

Scientists observed significantly more improvements in both pain and movement immediately following treatment, two days later, and 30 days after for the individuals who received high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation to both the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine. This shows that chiropractic therapy administered in these two areas offers both short term and long term results for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even with just a single treatment round.

So, if you are dealing with sacroiliac joint issues, or live with back and leg problems and want to know if your sacroiliac joint is the cause, a consultation at our Noblesville office could be the first and best step towards recovery. Give our office a call today at (317) 214-7218.
