Abstract
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is an important pain generator of low back. Upslip and inflare is a rare type of dysfunction with no documented evidence regarding its management. Here we report a case of 31 year old female patient with this dysfunction, who underwent 4 days of Muscle Energy Technique (MET). The technique works by reducing tension in the muscle and thus correcting the malalignment. The patient showed improvement in symptoms at the end of the 4th day and difference in the pre and post values of Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT), Visual Analogue Scale and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was seen. Till date, no study has been done to see the effect of MET on upslip and inflare sacroiliac joint dysfunction. We suggest the use of MET in effectively treating this less frequent type of dysfunction.
