SACROILIAC JOINT PAIN
The sacroiliac joint may well be the most overlooked cause of low back
pain. A recent large study of sacroiliac joint pain or syndrome performed
by orthopedic researchers found that it was the single most common
diagnosis in those with undiagnosed back pain. This study found that one
in four patients with low back pain had this disorder and that chiropractic
manipulation was effective in correcting sacroiliac syndrome in 95% of these
patients.
Researchers at Linkoping University Hospital in Sweden treated preg-

nant women with low back pain with chiropractic manipulation. Seventy
percent were totally relieved of their pain while the other 30% obtained at least partial relief. These
researchers commented that this treatment is very promising for the treatment of this disorder.
Sacroiliac syndrome is one of the most common causes of low back pain. Medical research
is finding that chiropractic treatment is perhaps the most effective way of dealing with this often
overlooked cause of back pain. Chiropractic care can prevent chronic suffering in many people
and should be the first treatment choice in sacroiliac syndrome.
Our office takes great pride in providing the best care available for those suffering from sacroiliac
syndrome.

Study Affirms U.S. Jews'
Identification With Israel
New York (JTA) — In
times of crisis for Israel, the
American Jewish commun-
ity, its own financial con-
straints notwithstanding,
tends to rally behind Israel
with whatever money it can
find, according to the results
of a new study which, as
seen this week, is backed up
by real-life events.
"Israel is among the
strongest motivators for par-
ticipation in Jewish philan-
thropy in times of peace, and
becomes even more compell-
ing for American Jews if
they feel that Israel's securi-
ty is threatened," says Gary
Tobin, director of the Cohen
Center for Modern Jewish
Studies at Brandeis Univer-
sity, in a recent statement
about his study.
But the study found that
the almost reflexive tenden-
cy of older American Jews to
support Israel cannot be
taken for granted among
younger Jews.
"Among these younger,
more Americanized Jews,
basic good feelings for Israel
are present, but building on
these feelings and
translating them into finan-
cial support for Israel can be
a greater challenge," writes
Mr. Tobin.
In the wake of the Gulf
war, and even before the
three Iraqi missile attacks
on Israel, American Jews
hastened to support the Jew-
ish state, holding rallies
nationwide, raising cash
anew for the embattled Jew-
ish state and besieging the
Israeli consulates with calls
offering everything from
masking tape to helping the
army.
A whole new round of
money hunting also has
begun, with an emergency
$100 million campaign for
State of Israel bonds and a
move by United Jewish Ap-
peal to call in campaign
pledges totaling $400 mill-
ion. Officials say they are
optimistic about the results.
Mr. Tobin's study, which
brought earlier demographic
research on American Jew-
ish communities together
with personal interviews
and new research among
Jewish leadership and
others, found that despite
people's concern over par-
ticular Israeli governmental
policies, Israel remains an
important part of their lives.
According to the study,
"Israel and American Jew-
ish Philanthropy," which
appeared in the "Policy and
Planning Papers" published
by the Cohen Center, those
interviewed said Israel made
them feel stronger and pro-
uder as Jews.
Mr. Tobin pointed out that
the unwavering support for
Israel by American Jewish
leaders can no longer be
taken for granted, although
it remains extremely strong,
according to interviews con-
ducted with Jewish leaders.
"American Jewish philan-
thropic leadership needs to
be reassured and nurtured
as much as less committed
groups of Jews," he writes.
Mr. Tobin's study has
isolated a few areas in which
emphasis should be placed to
increase American Jewish
ties to Israel, with the side
effect of positively influenc-
ing the rate of philanthropic
giving.
The study suggests that an
emphasis should be placed
on visits to Israel as part of
the Jewish educational pro-
gram in the United States to
help combat assimilation
and strengthen Jewish iden-
tity.
In addition, special Israel
missions must be expanded
to reach a broader audience.
"It is incumbent upon the
organized Jewish commun-
ity to convert latent good
feelings about Israel into ac-
tive philanthropy and in-
volvement," concludes the
study.
Israel Opens
Moscow Office
Tel Aviv (JTA) — The
Israeli flag was raised last
week over diplomatic
premises in Moscow for the
first time in nearly 24 years.
It was raised in modest
ceremonies Jan. 3 over what
had been the Israeli Em-
bassy until the Soviet Union
severed diplomatic relations
with the Jewish state in
June 1967 after the Six-Day
War.
"This is the day which the
Lord hath made," Israeli
Consul General Arye Levin
said in Hebrew, quoting
from Psalm 118, as he
hoisted the blue and white
flag with the Star of David.
Full diplomatic relations
still have not been restored
between the two countries.
Many observers believe,
however, that the formal
opening of the new Israeli
Consulate on Jan. 3 was a
major move in that direc-
tion.
