Treating Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Chiropractic Adjustment

The goal of chiropractic treatment for sacroiliac joint dysfunction is to find a method that yields the best outcome but is also well tolerated. There are two main chiropractic adjustment techniques used to treat sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Low velocity, low amplitude thrust spinal mobilization is a gentle technique. High velocity, low-amplitude thrust or spinal manipulation is a more traditional approach, and though it is not as gentle as the spinal mobilization method, it can be more effective. The traditional chiropractic maneuver or adjustment makes the cracking sound similar to what is heard when cracking the knuckles. The actual sensation of this maneuver is usually relieving even when the sounds give an impression of something uncomfortable. Some patients cannot tolerate the sound effects of this traditional approach and choose do undergo spinal mobilization instead.
