The sacroiliac (SI) joints connect the base of your spine (sacrum) to your hip bones (ilium) on either side. These joints act as critical, low-motion shock absorbers transferring forces between your upper body and legs. If the SI joint moves too much (hypermobility) or too little (hypomobility), it causes severe local irritation.
Symptoms of SI Joint Dysfunction
- Pain concentrated primarily on one side of the lower back or upper buttock
- Pain that radiates down into the back of the thigh, rarely passing the knee
- Increased discomfort when climbing stairs, stepping up, or putting more weight on one leg
- A distinct feeling of instability or pelvic “giving out” when standing
Rebalancing Pelvic Alignment
SI joint pain is frequently misdiagnosed as a lower back disc issue. Our diagnostic and care protocols are designed to pinpoint pelvic twisting and restore normal, locked tracking to the SI joints. By stabilizing these joints through specific adjustments and targeted exercises, we resolve pain and restore functional symmetry.
