Sacroiliac Joint Pain Treatment

Finally Get Answers About Your Back Pain

SI joint dysfunction affects up to 25% of people with chronic low back pain, yet it’s often misdiagnosed or overlooked entirely. This condition occurs when the sacroiliac joints—where your spine connects to your pelvis—become either too mobile or too restricted. The result is pain that can feel identical to sciatica, disc problems, or other back conditions. But here’s the key difference: SI joint pain typically stays localized to one side of your lower back and buttocks, rarely extending below the knee.

What Proper Treatment Actually Delivers

When SI joint dysfunction is correctly identified and treated, you can expect real, measurable improvements in both pain and function.

You’ll finally understand why previous treatments didn’t work and get a clear path forward.

Pain patterns become more predictable and manageable with proper pelvic stability restoration.

Daily activities like sitting, standing, and walking become comfortable again without constant adjustments.

Sleep quality improves when you’re not waking up with stiffness and positional pain.

Exercise and physical activities return as joint stability and ligamentous integrity are restored.

Long-term recurrence decreases with proper biomechanical correction and strengthening protocols.

Clinical Pelvic Rehab Process

How We Differentiate SI Pain From Sciatica

The biggest challenge with SI joint dysfunction is that it mimics sciatica so closely that many patients spend years treating the wrong problem. True sciatica involves nerve compression in the spine, while SI dysfunction stems from joint instability or restriction. We use specific diagnostic tests like the Fortin finger test, where you can pinpoint pain within one centimeter of the posterior superior iliac spine. Sciatica pain, by contrast, is harder to localize and typically radiates further down the leg. We also evaluate how your pain responds to different positions and movements—SI joint pain often worsens with prolonged sitting or when transitioning from sitting to standing.

Ligamentous Integrity Restoration

Rebuilding Pelvic Stability From The Ground Up

Your sacroiliac joint depends on strong ligaments for stability—particularly the interosseous sacroiliac ligament, which is actually the strongest ligament in your entire body. When these supporting structures become stretched, torn, or imbalanced, the joint loses its ability to transfer forces properly between your spine and legs. Our treatment focuses on restoring this ligamentous integrity through targeted manual therapy, specific mobilization techniques, and progressive stabilization exercises. We address both the immediate pain and the underlying biomechanical dysfunction that caused the problem in the first place.
