Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to compare between effect of therapeutic ultrasound and low-level laser therapy on sacroiliac joint pain after delivery.

Conditions

Sacroiliac Disorder

Keywords

Ultrasound therapy; Low level laser therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Visual analogue scale (VAS)

  This scale will be used by each patient before and after treatment course to estimate the intensity of pain. Visual analogue scale (VAS) is a graphic rating scale with numerical values ranging from 0 to 4, placed equidistantly on a line of 10 cm long drawn horizontally.

Study Arms (2)

Ultrasound

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Effect of ultrasound therapy on sacroiliac joint pain in woman postpartum

Device: Ultrasound waves therapy

Low level laser

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Effect of low level laser therapy on sacroiliac joint pain in woman postpartum

Device: Low level laser therapy

Interventions

Ultrasound waves therapy DEVICE

Therapeutic ultrasound is proposed to deliver energy to deep tissue sites through ultrasonic waves, to produce increases in tissue temperature or non- thermal physiologic changes. Low level laser therapy penetrates particularly light waves that increase cellular metabolism.

Ultrasound

Low level laser therapy DEVICE

Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) is a fast-growing technology used to treat a multitude of conditions that require stimulation of healing, relief of pain and inflammation, and restoration of function.
