Low Back Pain & SI Pain Relief in Tarlac
Low back pain and sacroiliac (SI) joint pain are among the most common musculoskeletal complaints affecting adults today. These conditions can result from muscle strain, poor posture, joint dysfunction, herniated discs, or prolonged sedentary lifestyle. At Tarlac Medical Center, we provide comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and individualized treatment plans designed to relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life.
Early intervention is critical. Persistent pain may lead to reduced mobility, chronic inflammation, and secondary complications such as nerve compression or altered gait patterns. Our goal is to treat the underlying cause, not just the symptoms, using a combination of evidence-based therapies.
Causes of Low Back and SI Pain
- Muscle strain from lifting or sudden movement
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction or instability
- Poor posture while sitting or standing
- Degenerative spine or joint changes
- Chronic inflammation from repetitive stress
A detailed evaluation helps identify the true source of pain and guides an effective treatment plan.
Diagnostic Approach
- Physical examination for posture and movement
- Range of motion and muscle strength testing
- X-ray, MRI, or CT scan imaging
- Functional assessment of gait and core stability
At Tarlac Medical Center, combining clinical assessment and imaging helps target the root cause of pain.
Treatment and Rehabilitation
- Physiotherapy – Core strengthening, stretching, manual therapy
- Pain Management – NSAIDs, steroid or perineural injections
- Kinesiotaping – Reduces strain and improves posture
- Bracing – Short-term support during healing
- Ergonomic Guidance – Safe lifting and posture correction
Combined therapies help relieve pain, restore movement, and prevent recurrence.
Recovery and Expected Outcomes
- Mild muscle strain: 1–3 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between low back pain and SI joint pain?
Low back pain originates from muscles, ligaments, or discs in the lumbar spine, while SI joint pain is localized to the joint connecting the spine and pelvis.
Can low back and SI pain be treated without surgery?
Yes. Most cases respond well to physiotherapy, targeted exercises, lifestyle modifications, and supportive therapies.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies by condition severity but typically ranges from 2 to 6 weeks for acute pain; chronic issues may require longer-term management.
Are injections safe for pain relief?
Yes. Steroid and perineural injections are safe when administered by trained specialists and can provide targeted, rapid relief.
Can proper posture prevent future back pain?
Yes. Maintaining correct posture, strengthening core muscles, and practicing safe lifting techniques reduce recurrence risk.
