Brief Summary

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by pain and impaired function in the lower back and pelvis region.

Detailed Description

The reported prevalence of sacroiliac joint pain in cases of chronic low back and lower extremity pain is estimated to be between 10 - 27%. Manual therapy techniques, such as High-Velocity Thrust (HVT) and the Bowen Technique, have emerged as potential treatment options for SIJD. HVT involves quick, controlled movements applied to specific joints to restore normal range of motion and alleviate pain. Conversely, the Bowen Technique is a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork that utilizes subtle rolling movements over muscles and connective tissues to promote relaxation and restore balance within the body.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)	12 Months	used in the management of spinal disorder. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) a patient-completed questionnaire which gives a subjective percentage score of level of function (disability) in activities of daily living in those rehabilitating from low back pain.
Visual Analog Scale(VAS)	12 months	It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms. For example, the amount of pain that a patient feels ranges across a continuum from none to an extreme amount of pain.
