Comparing two manual therapies for sacroiliac joint pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether two different hands-on treatments can reduce pain from sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common cause of lower back and buttock pain. One treatment focuses on correcting a pelvic twist, while the other targets a specific joint movement. The goal is to see which works better.
