Common Symptoms of SI Joint Pain
SI joint pain often manifests as discomfort or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or buttocks. You might notice:
- Difficulty sitting or standing persist beyond a week.
- Pain that worsens with specific movements, like climbing stairs or bending
- A sensation of instability or clicking in the hips
- Radiating pain into the thighs or groin
These symptoms can disrupt daily life, affecting your ability to work, exercise, or enjoy time with family.
What Causes SI Joint Pain?
SI joint pain occurs when the sacroiliac joint — which connects your lower spine to your pelvis — becomes inflamed or misaligned. While there are many reasons for dysfunction of the SI joint, common causes include:
- Injury or trauma: Falls or accidents can damage the joint.
- Repetitive stress: Activities like running or lifting can strain the area.
- Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and weight shifts can lead to joint instability.
- Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the joint may cause chronic pain.
Understanding the root cause helps us create a tailored treatment plan for lasting relief.
When Should You See a Chiropractor or Acupuncturist for SI Joint Pain?
You should consider professional care if:
- Over-the-counter pain relievers no longer work.
- Pain disrupts your sleep or daily activities.
- Symptoms persist beyond a week.
- You notice limited mobility in your lower back or hips.
Ignoring SI joint pain can lead to long-term issues like reduced joint function or compensatory problems in other areas of the body.

I came to Oaktree in so much pain from a lower back injury that I could barely walk or do simple daily tasks. I’ve been seeing Hannah and Dr. Katrina for acupuncture and chiropractic care for around two months now.
They’ve been so compassionate and actually take the time to explain why they’re doing what they do with treatments. I love that they asked in depth questions before treatments started (and as time went on) so they could really get to the root of the problem instead of using a bandaid fix. I actually look forward to treatments since I feel better afterward and Hannah and Dr. Katrina are great to talk to!
I’m finally not in pain anymore, my stress levels are reduced, and I feel like I’m better equipped to be mindful of my body and posture to maintain a healthier body. Definitely check out Oaktree!

- Reduced inflammation: Stimulating specific points helps decrease swelling in the joint.

I’ve been going here for acupuncture for about 2 months now and have had such a positive experience. I was scared to try acupuncture at first before going. Veronique is wonderful – very knowledgeable, kind, and has made me feel so comfortable throughout my appointments. I have a bad needle phobia and she is always gentle and understanding. The admin staff are also friendly, organized, and attentive! Love going here and always look forward to it. I chose the right place!
