Brief Summary

This study is a randomised controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of intra muscular electrotherapy combined with manipulative therapy in terms of pain, mobility, range of motion, and disability."

Conditions

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Pain Intensity

  Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS): ICC (0.93-0.96) It has a scale of 0-10 or 0-100 points and can be given verbally or in writing

  4 weeks

• Lumbar ROM

  Lumbar ROM will be measured using Inclinometer
