- Infectious conditions including bone tumors, nerve root irritation, and tuberculosis of the spine or hip
- Pre-diagnosed inflammatory joint diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis

Eksperimentel: Strain Counter-Strain Group
Participants in this arm receive strain counter-strain technique applied to the quadratus lumborum, piriformis, and erector spinae muscles.
The therapist places the patient in a comfortable position for each corresponding muscle for 90 seconds, repeated three times per muscle, for three sets per session.
Treatment is delivered three times per week for four weeks.
Each session begins with a 10-minute moist hot pack to the gluteal area.

Strain counter-strain is an indirect manual therapy technique based on the proprioceptive hypothesis of somatic dysfunction.
The therapist identifies tender points in the quadratus lumborum, piriformis, and erector spinae muscles.
The patient is then placed in a comfortable position that reduces tension in the targeted muscle.
This position is maintained for 90 seconds, after which the therapist passively returns the patient to the starting position.
The procedure is repeated three times per muscle, with three sets per session.
Treatment is provided three times per week for four weeks.
A 10-minute moist hot pack is applied to the gluteal area before the technique begins.

Aktiv komparator: Maitland Mobilization Group
Participants in this arm receive Maitland mobilization grades II and III applied to the sacrum in prone lying.
Grade II is used in week one and early week two using 3 to 4 sets of 30-second oscillations.
Grade III is introduced by the end of week two and used primarily in weeks three and four for 40-second sets to improve mobility.
Treatment is delivered three times per week for four weeks.
Each session begins with a 10-minute moist hot pack to the gluteal area.

Maitland mobilization is a manual therapy technique using passive oscillatory motions to treat joint pain and stiffness.
The patient is positioned in prone lying.
The therapist places hands centrally on the upper sacrum and applies pressure in a postero-anterior direction.
Grade II (large amplitude, low intensity) is used for pain reduction in week one and early week two, with 3 to 4 sets of 30-second oscillations at 2 to 3 Hz.
Grade III (large amplitude, high intensity) is introduced by the end of week two to improve stiffness and function, using 40-second sets at 2 to 3 Hz through weeks three and four.
One Grade II session is added in week four to maintain pain relief.
Treatment is provided three times per week for four weeks.
A 10-minute moist hot pack is applied to the gluteal area before mobilization begins.

Change in Pain Intensity
Tidsramme: Baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment (week 4)
|
Pain intensity is measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), an 11-point scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).
Participants rate their current pain level at the sacroiliac joint region.
The scale is administered by a blinded outcome assessor.

Change in Functional Limitation
Tidsramme: Baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment (week 4)
|
Functional limitation is measured using the Modified Oswestry Disability Index (MODI) questionnaire.
The MODI contains ten sections covering activities of daily living: pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, social life, traveling, and employment/homemaking.
Each section is scored from 0 to 5, with total score converted to a percentage.
Higher percentages indicate greater disability.
Scores are classified as: minimal disability (0 to 20 percent), moderate disability (21 to 40 percent), severe disability (41 to 60 percent), crippled (61 to 80 percent), and bed-bound or exaggerated symptoms (81 to 100 percent).
The questionnaire is administered by a blinded outcome assessor.
