Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a common causative agent for lower back pain

Many people THINK they have a lumbar spine problems, or maybe even a flank/kidney problem, when in fact it is a Sacroilliac joint dysfunction

When looking how to treat SIJ dysfunction, should you just exercise or should you recieve Chiropractic adjustments

After 6 weeks of adjustments, there was notable results

At 12 weeks, there was a positive change in exercise patients

And at 24 weeks, both groups had great results

Side note- what is sacroilliac joint dysfunction

A SIJ dysfunction is when there is improper movement of the joints at the bottom of the spine that connect the sacrum to the pelvis

This can lead to lower extremity pain, numbness , weakness, hip and goin pain, bad sleep, problems sitting(cant sit for long periods)
