Relief for SI Joint Pain — Without Injections or Surgery

If sharp, aching, or burning pain near your lower back is affecting how you move, sit, or sleep — your sacroiliac (SI) joint might be the source. At Restorative Care Chiropractic in Peachtree City, we offer natural, targeted relief for SI joint dysfunction with gentle, effective chiropractic care.

What Is the SI Joint — and Why It Hurts

Your SI (sacroiliac) joints connect the bottom of your spine to your pelvis. These joints play a key role in stabilizing your hips, absorbing shock from walking, and transferring movement between your upper and lower body.

When the SI joint becomes inflamed, stiff, or overly mobile, it can lead to intense discomfort and movement limitations.

Common signs of SI joint dysfunction:

  • Sharp pain at the base of your spine or one side of your lower back

  • Pain that worsens with standing, walking, climbing stairs, or rolling over in bed

  • Aching or burning sensations in the hips, buttocks, or groin

  • Difficulty standing upright or shifting weight when walking

  • Pain that mimics sciatica but doesn’t travel past the knee

SI joint pain is often misdiagnosed as a lumbar disc issue or general back pain — but with the right care, it’s very treatable.

How Chiropractic Care Helps with SI Joint Pain

At our office, we take a whole-body approach to diagnosing and treating SI joint dysfunction. We don’t just chase symptoms — we identify and correct the root cause.

Here’s how chiropractic care can help:

  • Gentle Pelvic and Sacral Adjustments
    We realign the SI joint using precise, low-force techniques to restore balance and reduce irritation — no cracking or twisting required.
  • Dolphin Neurostim Therapy
    This microcurrent therapy helps calm inflamed nerves and loosen tight muscles surrounding the SI joint, improving comfort and mobility.
  • Muscle Balance and Core Stability Work
    We address muscle imbalances that pull on the pelvis, creating instability or asymmetry in the SI joint.
  • Postural and Movement Corrections
    We guide you on how to move, sit, and exercise safely — so your SI joint doesn’t keep getting irritated.
  • Whole-Body Alignment
    We assess and treat the lower back, hips, knees, and even the feet — because any misalignment can overload the SI joint.

With consistent, gentle care, many patients feel significant relief in just a few visits.

Postpartum-Focused SI Joint Pain Section

SI Joint Pain During and After Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body — including loosening of the ligaments in your pelvis to prepare for childbirth. For many women, this creates instability in the SI joints, leading to sharp or aching pain in the lower back, hips, and buttocks.

Postpartum SI joint pain is often caused by:

  • Hormonal changes (like increased relaxin)

  • Pelvic instability or asymmetry during pregnancy

  • A difficult labor or delivery

  • Imbalanced posture while nursing, baby-wearing, or lifting your child

  • Core muscle weakness or diastasis recti

At our office, we use gentle, safe chiropractic techniques to help restore pelvic balance, reduce inflammation, and support your body’s healing process.
We work with moms at every stage — from early postpartum recovery to getting back into exercise — with tools like low-force adjustments, Dolphin Neurostim, and core-stabilizing strategies tailored to your comfort.

You’ve done an amazing thing. Now let’s help your body feel as strong and supported as it deserves.

Who We Help with SI Joint Pain

We commonly help:

  • Pregnant and postpartum women experiencing pelvic instability or shifting
  • Athletes and weekend warriors who lift, twist, or move aggressively
  • Desk workers with prolonged sitting or poor posture
  • People with leg length differences or scoliosis
  • Anyone with pain after lifting, twisting, or repetitive movement

Whether your SI joint pain started after an injury, a pregnancy, or seemed to come out of nowhere — we can help you get back in alignment and back to life.

Sports-Specific SI Joint Pain Section

SI Joint Pain in Athletes and Active Adults

From quick pivots in pickleball to powerful golf swings and long-distance runs — athletic movement demands a strong, stable pelvis. But when your SI joint isn’t functioning properly, every step, swing, or squat can feel like a flare-up waiting to happen.

We commonly help athletes with SI joint issues related to:

  • Rotational stress from golf, tennis, or pickleball

  • Repetitive strain from running or cycling

  • Asymmetrical movement patterns (especially in sports with dominant sides)

  • Muscle imbalance between the core, glutes, and hamstrings

  • Tight hip flexors or unstable pelvic alignment from overtraining or sitting

If your SI joint is inflamed, hypermobile, or “locked up,” you may notice pain with lunges, twisting motions, or even just standing for too long.

At Restorative Care Chiropractic, we combine chiropractic adjustments, Dolphin Neurostim therapy, Shockwave and sport-specific movement corrections to help stabilize your SI joint and get you back to your game — without pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes SI joint pain?
SI joint dysfunction is often caused by misalignment, muscle imbalance, pregnancy-related ligament changes, past injuries, or uneven weight distribution.

Is chiropractic safe for SI joint pain?
Yes. We use low-force, controlled techniques that are safe, effective, and comfortable — even for sensitive joints and pregnant patients.

Can the pain be mistaken for something else?
Definitely. SI joint pain often mimics disc problems or sciatica. That’s why we perform a detailed assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

How long before I feel relief?
Many patients notice improvement in just a few visits, though chronic or complex cases may take a few weeks of consistent care.
