Solution of the IGS blockade through physiotherapy
If an ISG-blockade occurs, it is in any case useful to consult a physiotherapist, especially if it is the first ISG-blockade. The physiotherapist is not only able to initiate a therapy by specific exercises and massages, but he can also assess by his experience and his examination whether it is really only a blockade or whether there are possibly more serious disorders which have to be clarified by a doctor (orthopaedist). If this is not the case, the physiotherapist can attempt to correct the muscle shortening, muscle hardening, differences in leg length and tension by means of sacroiliac joint and back massages, heat applications, stretching and stabilization exercises, and thus also to loosen the canting of the sacroiliac joint.
ISG-Blockade release with Kinesiotape
Kinesiotaping is a widely used supportive therapy method in the physiotherapeutic field, which aims at the healing, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal system disorders. Kinesiotaping is applied to the skin using specific techniques to relieve and relax muscles, joints and tissue. This is the only way to achieve a significant reduction in pain. The special tapes can also be used for ISG blockades, where they are often stuck onto the respective joint in a diamond shape.
ISG-Blockade release through acupuncture
Acupuncture, as a branch of traditional Chinese medicine, is a procedure in which the stimulation of certain points of the body (by inserting the finest needles into the skin) is intended to influence various body regulations. One area of application of acupuncture is the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and thus also of painful ISG blockages. The aim of acupuncture is to release muscle tensions and shortening, so that the blockage is released or the ISG joint becomes more accessible for loosening exercises.
Release ISG blockade yourself
The ISG blockage does not necessarily always have to be treated by a physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractor or other therapist. Often it can also be removed on its own.Through targeted stretching exercises or physiotherapeutic exercises at home, heat applications, self applied massages (using for example a Blackroll or a tennis ball) and loosening attempts, it is quite possible that the blockage itself can be released and spontaneous healing can occur. It is important that the person concerned should be shown correctly how to perform the self-exercises and how exactly other additional measures must be performed correctly in order to avoid mistakes in self-execution. Therefore, it is still useful to consult an experienced therapist during the first ISG blockade. If one or more further blockades occur in the course of life, the therapy measures can then possibly be carried out independently.
