Overview

Sacroiliac Joint Pain, also known as SI Joint Pain, is a common condition that affects the sacroiliac joint located at the base of the spine. This joint connects the sacrum (the triangular bone at the bottom of the spine) to the ilium (part of the pelvis).

Various factors can cause sacroiliac Joint Pain, such as injury, degeneration, or inflammation of the sacroiliac joint. It often manifests as lower back, hip pain, or buttock pain, which may radiate down the legs. This condition can significantly impact mobility and quality of life, making specialised care essential for effective relief.

Common Causes:

Trauma or Injury: Falls, accidents, or sports injuries can inflame the sacroiliac joint, causing pain.
Degenerative Changes: Aging or wear and tear can lead to joint dysfunction and pain.

Overuse or Repetitive Strain: Repetitive movements or excessive stress on the joint can lead to pain.

Ligamentous Laxity: Loose ligaments around the joint can lead to instability and pain.

Buttock Pain: Pain or tenderness in one or both buttocks, sometimes radiating down the back of the thigh.
