Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a term used to describe pain in the sacroiliac joint. This is a condition caused by a slight mis-alignment or too much or too little movement in the joint.
Sacroiliac joint pain is one of the COMMON lower back issues I see!
But what is this?
The sacroiliac joints (SIJ) are the area where the tailbone fits into the pelvis, and should allow for only a few degrees of motion. They are like shock absorbers & connect our upper and lower body.
Around 20% of cases are pregnancy related due to hormones, and other times its either due to an impact, or lots of micro-trauma over time.
Pain in the SIJ area is a sign that we may have issues AROUND where we experience it – not just the point itself…
So with SIJ pain, check:
your core strength your glute strength your hip mobility
Getting the above in check, will really give your sacroiliac joints the support & ideal range of movement.
