Abstract: Sacroiliac joint pain is a common source of discomfort that significantly affects the quality of life, particularly in postmenopausal women. As a result, postmenopausal women may be more susceptible to conditions such as sacroiliitis, arthritis, and other related pain syndromes. Shockwave therapy, a non-invasive treatment modality that utilizes acoustic waves to promote healing, has gained attention in recent years for its potential in managing chronic pain conditions. Sacroiliac joint pain is a common but often underdiagnosed condition that can significantly impact the quality of life, particularly in postmenopausal women who may already be experiencing various musculoskeletal issues due to hormonal changes. Shockwave therapy has emerged as a promising modality, utilizing acoustic waves to promote healing and reduce pain in musculoskeletal conditions. A single case study of Postmenopausal women with sacroiliac joint pain with Bilateral lower limb Weakness. The score of DSIJQ reduced from 64 to 14 and NPRS was reduced by 7th Phase to 1st phase. As significant improvement was observed. Four-week shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive, and effective method for minimizing pain intensity, and boosting functional ability in postmenopausal women with sacroiliac joint pain.
