The proposed study will evaluate the effectiveness of Osteopathic manipulation of the sacro-iliac joint (SIJ) and the lumbar spine in symptomatic female interstitial cystitis (IC) patients with sacro-iliac joint dysfunction. It is predicted that Osteopathic manipulation for a period of 12 weeks will result in subjective indices of increased comfort and objective indices of lower O'Leary-Sant Questionnaire, Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PIFQ-7), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and SF-12 scores, lower visual analog scores for pain and urgency, decreased frequency on voiding diary and greater variation in resting/contraction perineometry scores.
