Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: Forty volunteers participated in the study and these participants were divided into sacroiliac joint manipulation group (n=20) and control group (n=20). The sacroiliac joint manipulation was performed in the lateral decubitus position and the control group did not underwent any manipulation. Assessment methods were performed immediately after the manipulation. The frequency and percentage values for categorical variables and the mean, standard deviation, and median values for numerical data were displayed, respectively. Since there were less than thirty data points in each group, nonparametric tests were used to examine the data. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the data between the two groups, and the Wilcoxon sign test was utilized to examine the difference between the two measures for each group. Measurement time differences were recorded, and the Mann-Whitney Test was used to compare the groups.
Primary purpose: BASIC_SCIENCE

Brief summary: The aim of this study was to determine whether sacroiliac joint manipulation has a positive effect on muscle strength, balance and range of motion in standing workers.

Detailed description: The study included 40 participants who were previously informed about the study, met the inclusion criteria and signed the consent form. Participants were randomly divided into two groups as sacroiliac joint manipulation group (n=20) and control group (n=20). Hip and lumbar range of motion was assessed with a goniometer, postural control and balance with Biodex, and quadriceps femoris and hamstring muscle strength with MicroFet®2. The sacroiliac joint manipulation group underwent sacroiliac joint manipulation and the control group did not undergo any procedure. The effect of the manipulation was measured immediately after the manipulation and the significance level was accepted as p\&lt;0,05.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Having signed the voluntary consent form
* Being between the ages of 18-50
* Working standing for at least 3 hours a day
* Working standing for at least 6 months
* Suffering from low back pain in the last 6 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Having diseases that may cause balance problems
* Having a history of trauma in the last 6 months
* Pregnancy or suspicion of pregnancy
* Contraindications to chiropractic treatment (such as tumor, rheumatological condition, fracture, dislocation, metastasis and aneurysm)
* Feeling pain in the pelvis and sacroiliac joint,
