Lumbar Pain and the SI Joint in Brunswick GA

We help a good number of men and women with back pain in our Brunswick GA Chiropractic office, and Dr. Halverson has noticed that many cases of back pain start in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Research has revealed that roughly one quarter of all back pain starts out in the SI joint, and now fresh research confirms what we see in our clinic: chiropractic is an effective approach to treating this issue.

Brunswick GA Chiropractor shares a Conducted study

In the study published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, thirty-two women with sacroiliac joint dysfunction were split into two groups and asked to take part in one of two treatment therapies. The first group was given a chiropractic adjustment isolated to the sacroiliac joint, and the alternate group was given an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint as well as the lumbar spine.

Scientists found significantly more improvements in both pain and movement immediately after treatment, two days post-treatment, and 30 days later for the individuals who received high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation to both the sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine. This asserts that chiropractic treatment applied to these two areas offers both prompt and long term results for sacroiliac joint pain sufferers-even after only a single treatment session.

Therefore, if you are dealing with sacroiliac joint pain, or live with back and leg pain and want to see if your sacroiliac joint is the source, a visit to our Brunswick, GA office may be the first-and best-step towards feeling better. Give our office a call today at (912) 262-9735.
