Sacroiliac Joint pain
The sacroiliac joint is formed by the sacrum connecting to the ilium (part of the pelvis). It is a controversial area with some schools of thought considering it a significant source of pain around the lower back and buttock area, whilst others feel it has little contribution to pain in this area. This difference of opinion is due to the SIJ being a very secure joint that has a very small amount of available movement. Pain is usually felt on one side and locally to the base of the spine and buttock area. It can commonly coexist with LBP or hip problems, and patients often complain of pain when getting in or out of the car, turning over in bed or standing on one leg. Pain attributable to the SIJ is often seen during pregnancy.
SIJ pain is usually due to a directional stiffness at the joint, or instability due to poor muscle control. A thorough assessment by your physiotherapist will determine whether the SIJ, lumbar spine, hip joint or a combination of these are the reason for your symptoms.
