Manipulation to effect the relief of the condition has thus far proven to be one of the most effective methods. However, comparatively little research has been done on the different forms of physical therapy that can be used in conjunction with a manipulation so as to maximise its effect. This study focussed on the use of ischaemic compression (a well-accepted technique for the treatment of myofascial trigger points) of the gluteus medius muscle.enChiropracticBackacheManipulation (Therapeutics)Chiropractic--Dissertations, AcademicSacroiliac jointBook chapterhttps://doi.org/10.51415/10321/295
