Abstract
Aim. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of pinotherapy and manual therapy in the treatment of pain in the sacroiliac joints.
Method. The study included a group of 40 patients, who reported to the physiotherapist office with pain in the sacroiliac joints. The clinical evaluation involved: a Pain Numeric Rating Scale and the Oswestry Questionnaire. Patients were divided into two groups of 20 people. In the first group shock therapy was used, in the second group selected manual therapy techniques were used.
Results. After the therapy, a statistically significant reduction in pain in the sacroiliac joints was observed in both groups (Pain Numeric Rating Scale). The relative difference in the severity of pain reduction in both groups was similar.
Conclusions. The study showed that pinotherapy and manual therapy techniques are effective in treating pain in the sacroiliac joints. In addition, both methods show comparable efficiency of treatment of the abovementioned disorders, because of it is possible, they can be used interchangeably in patients depending on individual contraindications.
