Summary

This study compares three non-invasive treatments—shockwave therapy, laser therapy, and cryotherapy—to see which best reduces pain and improves daily function in people with sacroiliitis (inflammation of the joint connecting the lower spine and pelvis). Researchers will measure pain levels and how well participants can move and do everyday activities. The goal is to find a simple, drug-free way to ease this common cause of lower back and buttock pain.
