Understanding Sacroiliac Joint Subluxation
Sacroiliac joint subluxation refers to a partial dislocation or misalignment of the sacroiliac joint, which connects the sacrum to the pelvis. This condition can cause significant lower back and pelvic pain, often mimicking other back conditions. It can result from trauma, pregnancy, or biomechanical issues. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and pain specialists to provide comprehensive care.

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Physical Examination: Provocative tests for SI joint.
- X-ray Imaging: Assessing joint alignment.
- MRI Scanning: Evaluating soft tissue involvement.
- Diagnostic Injections: Confirming SI joint involvement.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve physical therapy, manual manipulation, medications, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to reduce inflammation and support joint stability.
- Physical Therapy: Strengthening and stabilization exercises.
