The Sacroiliac Joint

From Laura Inverarity, D.O., About.com GuideMarch 15, 2009

Follow me on:

Sacroiliac joint pain is a common cause of lower back discomfort. A variety of disorders can affect the sacroiliac joint and cause pain. The most common include:

Arthritis
Trauma from a fall
Leg length difference
Pregnancy

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction causes pain in the lower back region that radiates down the posterior buttock region. The pain increases during walking or standing and is less when lying down. Symptoms can sometimes occur in the hips or groin region as well.
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, have your sacroiliac joint evaluated today.
