A recent review found that sacroiliac or “SI” joint pain was more common in individuals who had limited spinal mobility. This is because restricted lower back movement leads to an overload of the adjacent joints.

That’s why, for SI pain, we will always assess the hips and spine too. If you are suffering from SI joint pain, check out this video and then give our office a call! 📞 https://www.youtube.com/embed/ObOI6lvuaNI?si=ousKCj8MPQTjpvts

Most people know that your core muscles are essential for preventing lower back pain, but did you know they are also crucial for avoiding spinal compression fractures?

With inactivity, the small core muscles can transition from muscle to fat, which decreases their ability to absorb the forces. This can lead to increased loading of the bones, increasing the risk of a compression fracture.

Check out this infographic for more information on strengthening your core muscles! https://bit.ly/3FH3gYX 🙌
