Can chiropractic treatment help with sacroiliac joint pain?
– Chiropractic treatment can help with sacroiliac joint pain by applying manual adjustments or manipulations to the joint and the surrounding structures. This can reduce inflammation, improve alignment, restore mobility, and relieve pain.
– Chiropractic treatment can also include exercises, stretches, massage, heat/cold therapy, and other modalities to enhance the effects of the adjustments.
– Chiropractic treatment is usually considered a safe and effective option for sacroiliac joint pain, especially when combined with other conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or injections.
– However, chiropractic treatment may not be suitable for everyone, and some people may experience side effects such as soreness, bruising, or discomfort after the adjustments. Therefore, it is important to consult with a qualified chiropractor who can perform a thorough evaluation and recommend a personalized treatment plan for sacroiliac joint pain.
