Hello nickz-ga,

Magnesium-ga is basically right; this question could potentially
involve many hours of research.  So I assume that you are not seeking
hours of research, but just a basic answer.  (I should emphasize the
disclaimer at the bottom of this page, that answers on Google Answers
are not professional medical advice.)

I decided that the best place for an answer would be the highest
ranked web site in the Google Directory for back and spine disorders
(http://directory.google.com/Top/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Musculoskeletal_Disorders/Back_and_Spine/?il=1
): Spine Health ( http://www.spine-health.com ).  This site indicates
that chiropractic adjustments "are a relatively conservative form of
care and are often considered as the first line of treatment for
sacroiliac joint dysfunction".

"Chiropractic treatments of the sacroiliac joint"

[Note: You can click the link at the bottom right of that page for the
second page of the article.]

In general, "treatment for sacroiliac joint dysfunction is usually
conservative (non-surgical)".

I hope that this information is helpful.

You might want to raise your price on this. It's a question that is
likely to require much more time than most researchers would want to
spend to earn $1.50 (that is the researcher share of your fee.)
