Blog
Welcome to the world of comprehensive pain relief! At Phoenix Medical Services, we understand the debilitating nature of sacroiliac pain and are here to help you find relief. With our unique approach and the expertise of Deborah Riczo, a renowned specialist in the field, we are dedicated to providing you with the best care possible.
Understanding the Pelvic Girdle
The pelvis is a complex structure consisting of several bones, including the sacrum and the two iliac bones that make up the sacroiliac joint. The sacroiliac joint connects the spine to the pelvis and plays a crucial role in providing stability and transmitting forces from the upper body to the lower body.
Sacroiliac pain, also known as sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD), occurs when there is an imbalance or dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. The exact cause of sacroiliac pain can vary from person to person and may include factors such as injury, pregnancy, arthritis, or even muscle imbalances.
The Pelvic Girdle Musculoskeletal Method
Deborah Riczo, with her extensive knowledge and experience, has developed the Pelvic Girdle Musculoskeletal Method, a specialized approach to diagnosing and treating sacroiliac pain. This method focuses on finding the root cause of the pain and addressing it comprehensively to provide long-lasting relief.
Diagnosis Process
When you visit Phoenix Medical Services, Deborah Riczo will carefully evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and perform a thorough physical examination. Using advanced diagnostic techniques, such as X-rays, MRI scans, or ultrasound, she will assess the condition of your sacroiliac joint and identify any potential abnormalities.
Treatment Options
Once the diagnosis is made, Deborah Riczo will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. The Pelvic Girdle Musculoskeletal Method emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, combining various techniques and therapies for optimal results. These may include:
- Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, and muscle energy techniques, are used to improve joint mobility and restore proper alignment.
- Exercise therapy: Specific exercises targeting the pelvic girdle muscles and core stability are prescribed to strengthen the surrounding muscles, enhance stability, and support the sacroiliac joint.
- Modalities: Heat or cold therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation may be used to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
- Education and self-management: Deborah Riczo will provide you with valuable information and guidance on self-care strategies, ergonomic modifications, and lifestyle modifications to help you manage your sacroiliac pain effectively.
