Pilot Study of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction Treated with a Single Session of Fascial Manipulation Method: Clinical Implications for Effective Pain Reduction.

Abstract in brief

• The study shows that a single session of Fascial Manipulation, targeting fascia points far from the painful SI joint area, can significantly reduce pain in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction, with effects observed immediately after treatment and maintained at a one-month follow-up.
• The research highlights the potential role of fascia in causing lower back pain, suggesting that treating fascia tissues distant from the pain site can influence and alleviate SI joint pain effectively.
• Patients experienced notable improvements in pain levels, measured both subjectively on the pain scale and objectively through pressure sensitivity, indicating that fascial manipulation might be a promising non-invasive therapy for SIJD.
