Many interventions can be used to treat SIJD, including exercise and manual manipulation. The effectiveness of these treatments by themselves, or in conjunction, is not well understood. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Clinical Question<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> In active individuals with SIJD, is an exercise intervention, manual manipulation, or a combination of the 2 effective in reducing pain and improving function? <jats:italic><jats:bold>Summary of Key Findings<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Three studies were included in this critically appraised topic. One study found that both exercise therapy and manipulation therapy decreased pain and improved function, but found no between-group differences. The other 2 studies found that exercise therapy, manipulation therapy, and the combination of the 2 were effective in decreasing pain and improving function in the participants. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Clinical Bottom Line<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The results of the studies suggested that exercise therapy, manual therapy, and a combination of the 2 therapies can be effective in reducing pain and dysfunction in patients with SIJD. While manual therapy techniques alone may be effective in reducing SIJD pain short term, exercise therapy or a combination of the 2 may be more effective in reducing pain long term. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Strength of Recommendation:<\/jats:bold><\/jats:italic> There appears to be level B evidence supporting the use of exercise therapy, manual therapy, or a combination of the 2 for the treatment of SIJD. This recommendation is based on the inconsistent or limited quality patient-oriented evidence presented in the 3 included studies, as defined by the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jsr.2024-0205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,2]],"date-time":"2025-04-02T06:43:32Z","timestamp":1743576212000},"page":"682-689","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Effects of Exercise and Manual Manipulation on Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: A Critically Appraised Topic"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3045-5311","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Christopher J.","family":"Joyce","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Florida, Jacksonville, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3906-0928","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kallie","family":"Nowell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0048-460X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Michelle C.","family":"Boling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Florida, Jacksonville, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernadette D.","family":"Buckley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Florida, Jacksonville, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"r1","series-title":"Expert Rev Neurother","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1586\/ern.12.148","article-title":"Sacroiliac joint pain: a comprehensive review of epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment","volume":"13","author":"Cohen SP","year":"2013","unstructured":"Cohen SP, Chen Y, Neufeld NJ.
