Sacroiliac Pain

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is also called Sacroiliac Pain. This pain condition is similar to sciatica in its usual symptoms. There is often radiating pain or weakness in the legs and buttocks, as well as general lower back pain. SI Joint pain is a diagnosis on the rise throughout the orthopedic community.

The sacroiliac joint (SI) is a small but incredibly strong joint that connects the sacrum to the pelvis. This joint acts as the main shock absorber between the torso and the legs. It is not completely understood what exactly causes SI joint pain conditions.

Diagnosis of Sacroiliac Pain

The diagnosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction is made on the basis of exclusion. If there is no evidence of a lumbar spinal condition to blame for pain, then SI joint syndrome is often diagnosed. There are some tests to be done during examination, but they might cause pain in ANY back pain condition, not just SI dysfunction. An injection of anesthetic is often given into the SI joint under live x-ray (fluoroscopy). If the pain goes away, then the SI joint is blamed. However, the anesthetic can affect a nerve and might relieve pain not caused by sacroiliac dysfunction. This is the unfortunate problem with conditions that are diagnosed by saying…

“We know what it is NOT, so therefore it MUST be…”

Recommendation for Sacroiliac Joint Pain

My recommendation for an SI joint problem is to leave it alone. It will most likely go away by itself. If it lingers and becomes a chronic concern, try some conservative or alternative treatments rather than using drugs to relieve the symptoms. If all else fails, try looking to a different source for relief of your pain.
