Pain from the sacroiliac joint needs two things: for the source of the pain to be identified and treated and for the pain to be treated as well.

The spine in the lower back has several unique characteristics that allow for normal motion, but are also prone to injury.

Strong hamstring muscles can reduce the strain on the structures in the spine and lessen pain in the lower back.

Axial pain represents the most common type of low back pain and is only found in the lower back - it does not extend to the buttocks or legs.

The focus on spinal adjustment is what makes doctors of chiropractic unique in their approach to treating patients with spinal complaints. The chiropractic adjustment, however, may not be the only procedure a chiropractor may employ in managing a patient's care.
