Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction is a condition in which the sacroiliac joint (located between the sacrum and pelvis) is “locked.” Usually there is inflammation of the joint, and surrounding ligaments and soft tissues.  Too much or too little motion in the sacroiliac joint can cause this condition.  Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction is commonly characterized by low back and gluteal pain and may be accompanied by groin, hip, and sciatic leg pain.

To treat sacroiliac joint dysfunction, manual therapies may include one, or a combination of, the following:

ART (Active Release Technique)

Trigger Point Dry Needling (depending on situation)

Chiropractic Manipulation/Mobilization

Corrective Exercise
