Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction Treatment in Burlington
That deep ache in the lower back or buttock that flares when getting out of a car, climbing stairs, or rolling over in bed is not always caused by the spine itself. In many cases, the sacroiliac (SI) joint may be involved. We assess the full picture to better understand what may be contributing to your discomfort.

Understanding the SI Joint
The SI joints connect the base of the spine to the pelvis and help transfer force between the upper and lower body. Although these joints move only slightly, irritation or abnormal movement can create significant pain and stiffness.
SI joint dysfunction may develop from repetitive strain, pregnancy-related ligament changes, injuries, arthritis, or uneven loading through the pelvis and hips.
Common Symptoms of SI Joint Dysfunction
SI joint pain is often felt on one side of the lower back, buttock, or hip and may worsen with standing, walking, climbing stairs, or changing positions. Many patients notice:
- Pain concentrated on one side
- Discomfort during transitions like standing up
- Aching into the buttock or hip
- Stiffness after sitting or prolonged activity
How The Healing Path Chiropractic and Wellness Centre May Help
Care at our practice begins with a review of your health history, movement patterns, posture, and lifestyle factors. We identify areas of joint dysfunction and mechanical stress before building a personalized care plan.
Our goal is to understand how your pelvis, lower back, posture, and daily activities may be working together to create strain.
The team may use manual chiropractic adjustments, Activator® adjustments, pelvic mobilization, Active Release Techniques®, soft tissue therapy, stretching, and targeted exercises based on your individual needs. Posture and ergonomic guidance are also included to help reduce ongoing strain.
When to Seek Care
If lower back or pelvic pain continues affecting your comfort and mobility, an assessment may help determine whether SI joint dysfunction is involved.
What Improvement May Look Like
As SI joint function improves, many patients report greater ease walking, climbing stairs, and moving through daily activities with less discomfort.
