Sacroiliac Therapy
Sacroiliac therapy is one method of dealing with pain due to
sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
SI joint therapy consists of various conservative medical and
complementary
treatments designed to improve joint function and end painful symptoms.
Sacroiliac pain
is a controversial diagnosis, since it is very difficult to distinguish pain originating in the SI joint from many other common lower back and buttock pain conditions.
Sacroiliac Joint Therapy Modalities
There are many common treatment options for SI joint pain. Many choices involve
massage
or
manipulation
of the joint manually or though
exercise
therapy. The majority of treatments are conservative in nature and
surgery
is not a common solution unless the pain is chronic and severe. Surgical correction of SI joint conditions does not show very good results for pain relief and the procedures are usually reserved for desperate cases. Detailed information on therapy modalities can be found on my
back pain treatments
page.
Results of Sacroiliac Therapy
Therapy for SI joint pain should help to resolve the pain in a matter of weeks or months. SI pain syndromes which resist treatment might very well be
misdiagnosed
conditions. This is a common phenomenon and usually indicates a
psychosomatic
cause for the symptoms. In the case of long term
unresolved back pain
conditions, the patient should consider trying
knowledge therapy
to overcome any possible psychological contributors to their pain.
Recommendation on Sacroiliac Therapy
The SI joint pain diagnosis is a relatively new and growing treatment specialty in the
back pain industry.
Doctors love this diagnosis, since it is a great explanation for
lower back pain
in patients without other obvious
spinal abnormalities
or causative conditions. It is very difficult to prove that pain is actually due to SI joint dysfunction and almost impossible to disprove. This makes SI dysfunction yet another wonderful
back pain scapegoat
condition. Unfortunately, most diagnosed patients have no idea that the SI joint is rarely problematic and fall into long lasting therapy programs which do nothing to correct their pain. If you are in a treatment program for an extended time without enacting a cure over your pain, it is time to reconsider your options. Physical treatments usually DO work well for SI pain. If your treatments have not solved your pain problem, you might want to consider trying an alternative choice for your sacroiliac treatment. Knowledge therapy has cured diagnosed SI joint pain in thousands of patients. There are no risk, no side effects and nothing at all to lose…EXCEPT THE PAIN.
