SI Joint Pain: Causes, Symptoms & How Chiropractic Care Can Help

If you're struggling with persistent lower back pain, it might not be just a muscle strain—it could be SI (sacroiliac) joint pain. At Lobacz Chiropractic, we help patients in Evansville, Newburgh, and surrounding areas find natural, drug-free relief from SI joint dysfunction through customized chiropractic care.

What Is the SI Joint?

The sacroiliac (SI) joints are located where your spine connects to your pelvis—on each side of your lower back. These joints are essential for transferring weight between your upper body and legs. When one or both SI joints become irritated or inflamed, they can cause significant discomfort and affect your daily activities.

Common Causes of SI Joint Pain

• Injury or trauma (e.g., a fall, car accident)

• Pregnancy and hormonal changes

• Leg length discrepancy

• Repetitive stress or poor posture

• Arthritis or degenerative joint conditions

Symptoms of SI Joint Dysfunction

SI joint pain can mimic other issues like herniated discs or sciatica, making it difficult to diagnose without a proper evaluation. Symptoms may include:

• Pain in the lower back, buttocks, or hips

• Pain that worsens when standing, walking, or climbing stairs

• Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the lower back

• Pain that radiates into the thighs (but rarely below the knee)

• Discomfort when sitting for long periods or getting up from a chair

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to get checked out.

How Chiropractic Care Helps SI Joint Pain

At Lobacz Chiropractic, we specialize in treating SI joint dysfunction using safe, non-invasive techniques that help restore normal motion and function to the joint. Here’s how we can help:

1. Chiropractic Adjustments

Gentle spinal and pelvic adjustments help realign the SI joints, reduce inflammation, and relieve pressure on surrounding nerves and tissues.

2. Soft Tissue Therapy

We may use techniques like trigger point therapy or myofascial release to ease tension in the supporting muscles around the SI joint.

3. Customized Rehab Plans

We provide personalized stretching and strengthening exercises to improve stability and prevent future flare-ups.

4. Lifestyle & Postural Advice

From proper sitting posture to lifting techniques, we guide you in making small daily changes that support long-term spinal health.
