Sacroiliac Joint Pain Care in London
Personalised Chiropractic Care for Sacroiliac Joint Pain in London
The sacroiliac (SI) joints connect the base of the spine to the pelvis. When they become irritated or stiff, they can cause pain in the lower back, buttock and sometimes the thigh.
I’m Dr Ida Norgaard, a chiropractor at Inc-Health in central London. I assess the SI joint together with the lower back and the joints and muscles around it, since several structures can cause similar pain. See also our back pain page and sciatica page.

Understanding Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Common Causes of SI Joint Pain
SI joint pain may follow a fall, repetitive twisting, uneven leg loading, pregnancy and childbirth, arthritis, or long periods of sitting or standing on one leg. It often shows up on one side only.
The joint relies on strong muscles and ligaments for stability. Chiropractic care aims to ease joint stiffness and muscle tension and is combined with exercises to improve stability and control around the pelvis.
Clear, personalised care for sacroiliac joint pain
Every sacroiliac joint consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your lower back, pelvis and movement, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Sacroiliac Joint Pain?
I take a detailed history and use a series of tests to identify whether the SI joint, the lower back or the nearby muscles are the main source of pain. Treatment may include joint mobilisation or adjustment, soft tissue work, and exercises for the hips and trunk.
I explain how to sit, sleep and move so you do not keep irritating the joint. If your pain pattern suggests another cause, or you need further investigation or a specialist opinion, I will refer you.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Sacroiliac Joint Pain Symptoms
Low Back and Buttock Pain on One Side
Typical symptoms include a dull ache or sharp pain to one side of the lower back, pain in the buttock that may spread to the groin or thigh, and pain when climbing stairs, getting out of a car or standing on one leg.
Changing position often, avoiding crossing your legs and placing a pillow between the knees at night can ease strain while you are being assessed. If you have any of the warning signs below, seek emergency help. See also hip pain.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Can a chiropractor help with sacroiliac joint pain?
Chiropractic care may help to ease SI joint stiffness and related muscle tension, and exercises help to improve stability.
How do I know if my pain is from the SI joint?
Pain on one side of the lower back or buttock that is worse with stairs, standing on one leg or turning in bed may point to the SI joint. A proper examination is needed.
Is SI joint pain common in pregnancy?
Yes. Hormonal changes and extra load can irritate the pelvic joints. See our pregnancy chiropractor page.
Is SI joint pain the same as sciatica?
They can feel similar, but sciatica involves irritation of a nerve and often pain below the knee. I examine to tell them apart.
When should I seek urgent help?
Seek emergency help for bladder or bowel changes, numbness around the genitals or anus, or weakness in both legs.
What happens at a first sacroiliac joint pain appointment?
Dr Norgaard takes a detailed history, examines you, explains what she finds and discusses a personalised plan that may include hands-on treatment, exercises and advice. The first visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes. See your first visit.
How many sessions will I need for sacroiliac joint pain?
This depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them and how you respond to care. Dr Norgaard explains what to expect after your assessment and reviews your progress as you go.
How much does a chiropractor cost in London?
An initial consultation of 45 to 60 minutes costs £160 and follow-up sessions of 20 to 30 minutes cost £90. You receive a receipt after every visit. See our chiropractor prices and book directly, with no GP referral needed.
