Abstract

Pain resulting from the sacroiliac joint dysfunction is undetermined and extra articular causes of the dysfunction may be as a result of fractures, ligamentous injuries, and myofascia. Other causes may be as a result of inflammation, unidirectional pelvic shear stress, and repetitive torsional forces, but no specific factor has been identified. Physiotherapy (PT) interventions used in the management of SIJ include repetitive exercises, manual joint mobilization, manipulation, bracing, massage, patient education, aerobic conditioning, exercise therapy and electrotherapeutic modalities although no systematic reviews exist on the effectiveness of combined physiotherapy interventions for the SIJD This case describes the effectiveness of a combined physiotherapy intervention in the conservative management of sacroiliac dysfunction. The patient was referred from a peripheral hospital with a 15month diagnosis of low back pain with difficulty in standing pain with sitting over time, and intermittent in nature and relieved with pain medications temporarily. Conclusion This case report suggests that combined physical therapy interventions relieves pain from sacroiliac dysfunction
