Brief Summary

the purpose of the study will be to to examine the effect of low level laser therapy on pain and function disability in postnatal women with sacroiliac joint pain.

Conditions

Sacroiliac Joint Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• pain intensity

  The pain intensity will be assessed through visual analogue scale (VAS) for both groups before and after the end of treatment program. Each woman will be asked to mark a point on the line between the extremes that related to her pain intensity.

  up to 2 months

• pain pressure threshold

  pressure algometer will be used to assess pain pressure threshold for both groups before and at the end of the study

  up to 2 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• functional disability

  up to 2 months
