SI Joint Pain Treatment That Treats the Whole Pelvic System

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.

Is This You?

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

Why Your SI Joint Still Hurts After “Trying Everything”

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

The Unpain 3-Part Sacroiliac Joint Pain Relief Program

INITIAL VISIT

Whole-Body Root-Cause Assessment

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

Pain & Inflammation Modulation

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

Strength & Progressive Aftercare

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

What Results Can I 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

The Research Behind Our Approach

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.
