Chiropractic Therapy Extremely Effective for Back Pain and the Sacroiliac Joint

Prescott Chiropractic Effective for Problems in the Sacroiliac Joint

We see a large number of people with back issues in our Prescott office, and Weary Chiropractic Clinic has noticed that many cases of back issues start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Investigation shows that around one quarter of all back pain begins in the SI joint, and now new research confirms what we see in our clinic: chiropractic is an effective method for treating this problem.

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Can Help Increase Movement in the SI Joint

In the study released 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 therapies. The first group went through a chiropractic adjustment only at the sacroiliac joint, and the second group had an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine.

Researchers observed significantly more improvements in both pain and movement immediately after treatment, two days post-treatment, and 30 days after for the group who underwent 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 continuing benefits for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers even with just one treatment round.

So, if you are suffering with sacroiliac joint issues, or have back and leg issues and would like to see if your sacroiliac joint is the root, a visit to our Prescott office may be the first and best step towards recovery. Give our office a call today at (928) 778-2227.
