You can’t sit without shifting. Rolling over in bed wakes you up. Stairs, car rides, even standing too long. You’ve tried adjustments, stretches, maybe even injections. Nothing holds.
We assess the whole spine, pelvis, and hip system.
SI joint pain rarely starts and ends at the joint itself. We look at what’s loading it wrong.
Shockwave, EMTT, and manual therapy target different tissue layers.
We match the right tool to the right structure, from fascia to deep joint.
Strengthening keeps the results long term.
Adjustment without exercise is temporary. We build stability so your progress sticks.
60-minute one-on-one assessment + treatment plan.
No pressure, no contracts.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Pain near your lower back or buttock that flares when you sit too long, climb stairs, or roll over in bed
Postpartum pelvic or lower back pain that didn’t resolve on its own
You had lumbar fusion surgery and now you have new pain lower down, near the pelvis
Chiropractic adjustments help for a day or two, then the pain comes right back
You’ve been told “it’s just your SI joint” but no one has looked at the full picture, from your hip to your spine to the muscles and fascia around the pelvis
The Real Problem
Explore 4 slides on Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Most people have several of these happening at once. That’s why we assess the whole chain, from your lumbar spine to your hips, not just the painful spot.
OUR APPROACH
INITIAL VISIT
Assess your spine, pelvis, and hip mechanics together, not just the sore spot
Identify specific pain drivers: joint stiffness, instability, fascia tension, or muscle weakness
Receive a clear written plan with transparent pricing before you commit
First 2 to 6 Weeks
Focused shockwave targets the deep SI joint area. Radial shockwave loosens surrounding soft tissue.
EMTT provides electromagnetic therapy for pain modulation and inflammation reduction
Chiropractic adjustment restores joint mechanics after soft tissue work
Make sitting, standing, and stairs tolerable, fast.
6+ Weeks and Beyond
Pelvic girdle stabilization exercises targeting glute and core strength
Progressive loading and mobility work to rebuild confidence in movement
Home exercise program for long-term durability so gains don’t fade
What To Expect
Every case is different, but research and our clinical experience consistently show:
Noticeable pain reduction within 1 to 4 weeks. In clinical trials, shockwave therapy reduced SI joint pain significantly within the first 1 to 4 weeks. EMTT showed continued improvements over 6 to 12 weeks.
Functional improvement you can feel. Patients in studies showed measurable gains in daily mobility, including walking, getting up from a chair, and climbing stairs.
A realistic path to avoid or delay more invasive procedures. Research supports multimodal conservative care as an effective approach, especially when stabilization exercises are part of the plan.
Our promise: we will tell you honestly at the assessment if we don’t believe you’re a good candidate for this approach.
EVIDENCE
Shockwave therapy has been shown to reduce SI joint pain compared to sham treatment in a randomized controlled trial, with meaningful improvement within 4 weeks.
In a trial of 90 postpartum patients with SI joint dysfunction, focused shockwave and combination therapy produced substantial reductions in pain and disability within 2 weeks.
A meta-analysis of 12 randomized trials (632 patients) found shockwave therapy improved pain and disability in chronic low back pain at both 4 and 12 weeks.
EMTT combined with physiotherapy has been shown to improve disability and pain scores compared to physiotherapy alone in a randomized trial for low back pain.
Combining manipulation with exercise yields longer-term benefits than exercise alone for SI joint dysfunction, according to clinical practice guidance.
Outcomes are group averages from clinical trials; individual results vary.

Initial Sacroiliac Joint Pain Assessment — Edmonton
60-minute one-on-one session. Here’s what’s included:
Full-body movement and strength assessment (lumbar spine, pelvis, hips)
Identify which pain drivers matter for your case
Review of history and imaging if available
Clear written plan with transparent pricing before you commit
No referral needed. No obligation to continue beyond the first visit.
No pressure, no contracts.
We will tell you honestly at the assessment if we don't believe you're a good candidate for this approach. If your condition needs something different, we'll refer you directly.
