Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 It depends on how much arthritis is present and how much of the joints are still left intact. Chiropractic is very good for this as it puts movement into the joints being affected which helps to get them back into function. Ice is good for acute flare ups, heat is good for chronic pains. Moreover it is important to figure out the cause of the sacroilitis, is it age related, weight related, due to physical deconditioning? Along with passive care such as chiropractic it is always good to be doing something active that you can be in control of like pilates, yoga, strength training. Really what you get out of your body depends on what you are putting into it.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 The cause has been puzzling me for some time. I am 64, overweight and I have a very sedentary job. I suspect these are the main causes. The arthritis isn't too bad according to the x-rays. A hot water bottle seems to help. From what other list members are saying I think I need to get moving. We have a very good local yoga centre and I might have to rearrange my meagre funds to give that a try. Thank you for your help.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 The Rolf Method of Structural Integration may be superior to chiropractic.  Rolfing releases impacted areas by working on connective tissue to allow the body to settle back into its normal shape.  Trauma can be stored in connective tissue and the release of it can be euphoric.  Rolfing makes permanent changes and makes followup visits unnecessary.  I had this done in 1975 and swear by it.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hi Mary, Did you try the herb Feverfew? In some cases it's very helpful. Also, water with apple cider vinegar. Be sure that both are organic, raw. Rena - Mary B.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 This sounds very interesting. A family friend is studying massage and has given me a couple of treatments which do seem to help. The idea of trauma being released is very interesting because I felt some of that and wondered about it. I will mention this to him in case he hasn't heard about it.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Tuesday, July 28, 2009, 5:27 PM Re: sacroiliitis. A Loving Atma Namaste! MEDICAL BACKGROUND Sacroiliitis is an inflammation of one or both of the sacroiliac joints, which connect your lower spine and pelvis. With sacroiliitis, even the slightest movements of your spine can be extremely uncomfortable or even painful for you. Sacroiliitis can be difficult to diagnose, and it may be mistaken for other causes of low back pain, including sciatica, herniated disks and strained muscles. Sacroiliitis may be associated with a group of diseases called spondyloarthropathies, which cause inflammatory arthritis of the spine. Treatment for sacroiliitis may involve a combination of you resting, receiving physical therapy and taking medications. Symptoms Sacroiliitis symptoms may include: § Pain and stiffness in your lower back, thighs or buttocks § Pain that worsens with walking because the motion of your hips strains your sacroiliac joints § Inflammation in one or both of your eyes (uveitis or iritis) § Psoriasis, an inflammatory skin condition § Pain radiating down your leg § Limping § Decreased range of motion § A fever that appears quickly Causes A wide range of factors or events may cause sacroiliitis: § A traumatic injury or sudden impact, such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall, affecting your spine, lower back, pelvis or buttocks § Spondyloarthropathies, which include ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis associated with psoriasis and others § Degenerative arthritis, also called osteoarthritis of the spine, causing degeneration of the sacroiliac joints, which can cause mild inflammation and pain § Pregnancy, because the pelvis must stretch to accommodate childbirth § Infection of the sacroiliac joint, which may result from a number of infections Risk factors The following factors may increase your likelihood of getting the condition: § A history of bone, joint or skin infections. Some people are more prone to infections, and an infection is one possible cause of sacroiliitis. § Injury or trauma to your spine, pelvis or buttocks. Torn ligaments or trauma may create inflammation or infection of the sacroiliac joints. § Urinary tract infection. This infection may spread from your urinary tract, which includes your kidneys, bladder and urethra, to your sacroiliac joints. § Pregnancy. The pelvic bone's expansion to prepare for childbirth may inflame the area around your sacroiliac joints. § Endocarditis. This infection of your heart's inner lining may spread to your sacroiliac joints. § Illicit drug use. People who inject drugs may have a higher risk of developing sacroiliitis. Complications Delayed treatment of sacroiliitis — either because of an incorrect diagnosis or because you've put off going to your doctor — can cause serious harm to your sacroiliac joints. Sacroiliitis may be part of a larger inflammatory arthritis condition known as ankylosing spondylitis. Complications of this condition can be very serious, including difficulty breathing, spine deformities, lung infections and heart problems. Tests and diagnosis Screening and diagnosis of sacroiliitis is difficult, but your doctor may confirm a diagnosis based on: § Localized pain that seems to be on or around your sacroiliac joints, which a doctor can determine by pressing on your sacroiliac region while you move in certain ways to gently stress the sacroiliac joint § X-rays of your sacroiliac joints § CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of your sacroiliac joints § Cultures of fluid from the sacroiliac joint § Blood culture, if the cause appears to be an infection Physical Therapy Treatment for sacroiliitis may also involve physical therapy and rest to help manage pain and stiffness. Your doctor or physical therapist can help you learn range-of-motion and stretching exercises to maintain joint flexibility, and strengthening exercises to give your muscles additional stability. Lifestyle and home remedies These actions you can take on your own may help: § Don't smoke. Smoking decreases blood flow to the infected area and makes it harder for your body to fight disease. § Keep up with any prescribed medications. Medications are the most effective when taken routinely and appropriately, as prescribed. § Follow through with physical therapy exercises and rest. Both are crucial to maintaining joint mobility and recovering fully. Source: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER) PRANIC HEALING 1.
