Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction is a condition affecting the joints located between the sacrum and the hip bones. This joint plays a crucial role in weight-bearing and movement, and any dysfunction can result in lower back and hip pain. This condition affects the joint between the sacrum and the ilium bones of the pelvis and can cause a range of symptoms that can make daily life difficult.

 The sacroiliac joint is a critical area in your body that connects your spine to your pelvis. When this joint becomes dysfunctional, it can cause a variety of symptoms, including low back pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Many people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction also experience pain in the buttock area that can spread down the back of the leg.

Symptoms of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Symptoms may include:

• Discomfort or pain in the lower back and hips that can be dull or sharp and range from mild to severe
• Pain in the buttock area that can spread down the back of the leg
• Difficulty standing or walking for long periods
• Stiffness or instability in the lower back especially after sitting or standing for long periods of time. This discomfort can limit your mobility, making it difficult to bend, twist, or perform other movements that require movement in the lower back.

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical attention from the pain specialists at Monarch Pain Management, as early intervention can greatly improve outcomes. With proper care, including physical therapy and targeted exercises, Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction can be managed and treated effectively.
