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 Fernandina Beach 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 world, a review of how manual therapy might reduce and/or alleviate sacroiliac joint pain documented that manual therapy – though just which technique of manual therapy is superior was not described in all the studies they read – statistically significantly improved disability due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction syndrome. (4) There is 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 three 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 raised the effectiveness. (5) If we discover through our examination that sacroiliac pain is of consequence in your back pain condition, let’s discuss Fernandina Beach 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.

Fernandina Beach 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 a few weeks or month of exercise. Researchers are discussing that even single or short-term exercise sessions produce benefit! They tested this and discovered that short-term exercise-induced protection offered immediate cardiac protection (like decreasing the magnitude of cardiac/vascular damage due to long-term ischemia) at low cost and in a simple way. (6) We know that our exercise-adverse Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients will like this! Just one exercise session may offer benefit. That’s a first step! And more advantages 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?
