Sacrum Pain

Holistic treatment is the key for discouraging and/or healing sacrum pain, which has many causes. For example, centuries ago when humans were cavemen, we ran, climbed hills, chased animals and foraged for edible weeds. Modern life finds us sitting in front of the TV or sitting at a computer for long hours. A sedentary life can result in sacrum pain.

Conversely, when legs are not asymmetrical, running can cause sacrum injury. When a spinal disc is herniated, it can result in agonizing pain. Another reason for sacrum pain is degenerative discs caused by spinal compression, usually as we age.

The sacrum is composed of five vertebrae in the form of a pyramid, which attach to the pelvis. When nerve or muscles surrounding the sacrum sustain injury, the sciatic nerve is aggravated. This condition is called sciatica.

Let’s explore holistic treatment for these various dysfunctions:

Spinal Decompression Treatment

Spinal decompression is performed by some chiropractors but can also be done at home with use of an inversion therapy table.  It works by intermittent traction and is non-invasive, comfortable and mild. It only takes a few minutes and many people get so relaxed they go to sleep.

A negative pressure is created in the disc via intermittent traction, which encourages increased blood flow, oxygen and nutrients. The nerve root that is compressed will greatly be relieved when pressure from the disc is halted.

Spinal decompression makes a dramatic impact on degenerative disk, sciatica and herniated discs. There is an excellent chance that surgery can be avoided and people can return to their everyday lives in about three weeks.

Massage Treatment

Did you know that you can become your own massage therapist for sacrum pain? Tennis balls will do a great job! Begin by taking a hot bath or shower, followed by a few gentle stretches.

Put two tennis balls in a sock, so they are touching each other and tie the open end. Lie on the floor, on your back. Place them under the small of your back, with one ball on either side of the spine.

Take a deep breath. Let your body sink into the balls. Rock your hips from one side to the other. Adjust your body so that the balls move up your back. Work them up and down your back for about 10 minutes. If there is a really sore spot, spend extra time on it.

YOGA

Practicing Yoga will strengthen your back muscles. Try a pose known as “Easy Bridge” which is recommended by the American Yoga Association.

• Lay on floor or mat.
  Bend knees and place feet flat, as close to buttocks as possible.
  Breathe in and out. As you breathe in, lift your hips off the floor slowly.
  Arch your back, leaving neck and shoulders on floor.
  Hold one or two breaths.
  Slowly lower hips to floor.
  Repeat twice.
