Physical therapy may help sufferers of sacroiliac joint dysfunction, column states

Roughly four of every 10 cases of lower back pain are related to one of the two joints that connect the tailbone and the large pelvic bone, the owner of a physical therapy business wrote in The Pottstown Mercury.

Women very often endure back pain during and after pregnancy and they often are the typical patient who suffers trouble with the sacroiliac joint, John R. Mishock, who holds a physical therapy job with Mishock Physical Therapy and Associates, wrote. Women aged 20 to 40 who have had children often suffer from sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Additional causes include someone falling down on their posterior, a car crash or an injury caused by lifting items.

Mishock wrote that pelvic/sacroiliac ligaments that stretched as a result of childbirth might never regain their elasticity. Yet the column does state that treatment of the sacroiliac joint dysfunction is possible via a physical therapy regimen.

Physical therapists serve important role in aiding the rehabilitation and treatment of people suffering from conditions that are chronic or injuries, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
