Therapy
There are a variety of mobilization and manipulation techniques to treat ISG blockage. It must always be examined whether the cause of the complaints lies in the joint or in other areas, e.g. in the musculature, in the context of a pelvic movement. Infiltrations of the sacroiliac joint with a local anesthetic in combination with cortisone can also help to improve the symptoms.
In order to reduce the pain level, an NSAID such as ibuprofen or diclofenac in combination with a muscle relaxant (e.g. Sirdalud®) should be given for a few days as a supportive measure. After the treatment, the patient is advised to exercise and to take local warming measures (warm baths, hot water bottles, cherry stone pillows). In general, it should be added that disturbances in the sacroiliac joints are usually secondary.
For this reason, causes in the area of the spine and also the hips must be excluded. If the symptoms do not improve after 2-3 treatments, inflammatory, rheumatological and tumor diseases must also be excluded.
