CHIROPRACTIC HELP FOR SACROILIAC PAIN
The great sacroiliac joint debate: does it cause pain or not? We will not go deep into that, but our Oxford 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 realm, a review of how manual therapy may decrease and/or alleviate sacroiliac joint pain reported that manual therapy – though just which manual therapy technique is best was not described in all the studies they reviewed – statistically significantly enhanced disability due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction syndrome. (4) There’s always room for more 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 reduction and that adding specific exercise to the sacroiliac joint manipulation treatment elevated the effectiveness. (5) If we discover through our examination that sacroiliac pain is of concern in your back pain condition, let’s discuss Oxford chiropractic non-surgical manual therapy and [possibly even|maybe]70] a little exercise to address 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.

Oxford CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: EXERCISE - GOOD FOR HEART…AND LOW BACK MUSCLE
Exercise is commended for its benefit for heart health, benefit which appears after some time of exercise say weeks or months. Researchers are discussing that even single or short-term exercise sessions offer benefit! They verified this and discovered that short-term exercise-induced protection offered immediate cardiac protection (like lessening the magnitude of cardiac/vascular damage due to long-term ischemia) cheaply and easily. (6) We have a feeling that our exercise-adverse Oxford 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) Are you ready to add exercise?
In this month of hearts (Happy belated Valentine’s Day), take care of your heart and spine! Satterwhite Chiropractic is pleased to be your Oxford chiropractic partner in this project. See you soon!
