SI joint pain (sacroiliac joint)

Deep pain at the junction of the spine and pelvis? The sacroiliac joint is often involved—and it is very treatable.

The sacroiliac joint (SI joint) connects the sacrum to the pelvis. It is a tight joint with little movement that transmits large forces. SI joint dysfunction causes deep pain in the lower back, often on one side. Structurally, everything is usually fine—it is about function and load distribution.

Deep, often one-sided pain just next to the lower back or in the buttock. It typically worsens when standing up, standing for a long time, climbing stairs, or standing on one leg. Sometimes the pain radiates into the thigh.

Triggers are often muscular imbalances, one-sided loading, strain after pregnancy, or a fall. Weak pelvic and core muscles also increase the likelihood of SI joint symptoms.

After a movement analysis, we treat the impaired function in a targeted way with manual therapy—and, when clearly indicated, with gentle HVLA impulse techniques. We then stabilise the pelvis and core with targeted evidence-based training so the symptoms do not return.
