Back

Pelvic and lower back pain has identifiable contributing factors.

Sacroiliac joint pain is commonly felt around the lower back, pelvis or buttock. We assess hip, pelvic and trunk function to identify contributing factors and guide a progressive recovery plan.

Common symptoms

  • Pain around the lower back, pelvis or buttock on one side
  • Pain aggravated by prolonged standing or sitting
  • Discomfort with single-leg activities such as stairs or walking
  • Pain that may radiate into the groin or thigh
  • Stiffness in the pelvis or lower back

Common causes

  • Muscle imbalance around the pelvis and hips
  • Pregnancy or postpartum changes
  • Asymmetric loading patterns
  • Previous injury or trauma to the pelvis
  • Hypermobility or reduced joint stiffness

How Stance approaches sacroiliac joint pain

We assess hip, pelvic and trunk muscle function to identify the factors contributing to your symptoms. Treatment builds strength and control around the pelvis through progressive loading.

Frequently asked questions

Is SIJ pain common during pregnancy?

Yes. Hormonal and biomechanical changes during pregnancy can contribute to SIJ symptoms. Targeted strengthening and management strategies are effective.

How is SIJ pain different from lower back pain?

SIJ pain is typically felt around the pelvis or buttock rather than centrally in the spine. Clinical testing helps differentiate between the two.
