Why the SI Joint Can Cause Pain
The sacroiliac (SI) joints connect the spine to the pelvis and help transfer mechanical forces through the body. Irritation or altered motion within these joints may contribute to lower back, hip, buttock, or leg symptoms.
​
SI joint–related symptoms may develop gradually or occur following injury, including motor-vehicle collisions. Your evaluation focuses on identifying possible joint involvement, understanding how symptoms affect daily movement and activities, and determining what type of care may be appropriate based on examination findings.
How We Treat SI Joint Pain & Dysfunction
Your care is based on clinical findings from your initial evaluation and your individual response to care. When appropriate, management of your condition may include:​​​
-
Spinal Manipulation ("Adjustments")​
-
Manual Therapy​​​​
-
Therapeutic Exercise​
-
Therapeutic Activities​​​
-
Electrical and Therapeutic Modalities​​​​
-
Re-evaluation​
Treatment methods are selected based on examination findings and updated as response to care is assessed over time.
What to Expect
Following your initial evaluation, care is directed toward addressing pain, movement limitations, and functional capacity based on examination findings. Response to care is monitored regularly, and care plans are modified based on clinical findings and patient tolerance.
​
If additional evaluation, imaging, or referral is indicated, this will be discussed as part of your care plan. Care is guided by what’s needed, with clear communication at each stage.
