Tamworth Osteopath considers lecturing on sacroiliac joint treatments because it is so common and often not understood.
Tamworth Osteopath John Williams successfully treats on average 4 patients daily with sacroiliitis, which is inflammation of the sacroiliac joint.
This is so common that over the 10 years in practice John and his Staffordshire team of osteopaths and physiotherapists have treated thousands of sacroiliac joints which can cause an immense amount of pain and suffering in the low back, groin and pelvic area. Patients from Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Measham, Brownhills, Swadlincote and Burton on Trent travel for treatment.
The sacroiliac seems to be a joint that is not understood too well and seems difficult to diagnose. Even after this problem has been identified practitioners appear to struggle in treating the problem quickly. Often mistaken for disc prolapse, arthritic hip, sciatica and a variety of low back conditions the sacroiliac joint is a marvel of engineering and is complex in both function and movement.
At Atlas Pain Relief Centre in Tamworth, Staffordshire John has devised a treatment plan that works effectively and quickly on treating the pain and discomfort caused by sacroiliitis. On average acute patients will be pain free in 4 treatments and occasionally it might take 6 visits to be resolved.
In 10 years of treating sacroiliac joints John has only failed to resolve 2 cases of this common problem which is a near 99% success rate. Often patients present with acute pain which they have had for years and have often been receiving treatment elsewhere with no success. Regardless they are successfully treated in the 6 treatments.
The problem with treating the sacroiliac joint is that firstly diagnosis by imaging is not effective. A standard MRI scan will not show any signs of dysfunction or cause of pain in the joint. Most sacroiliac joints are a problem caused by dysfunction and subsequent inflammation.
A scan is a static image and will appear normal when viewed, it is only when asked to perform movement that the problem will be obvious. However, often patients present with no dysfunction in the joint itself and appear to be suffering symptoms of inflammation only. This is where practitioners seem to struggle to treat the patient.
As a result of seeing so many patients that have been unsuccessfully treated elsewhere John is now considering using his lecturing skills to set up workshops and share his knowledge on how to successfully treat this problematic joint.
