Description:

The SI joints distribute your body's weight across the pelvis. They act as a shock absorber reducing the amount of stress that movement places on your spine. The bones in the joints are irregular and fit in like a piece of art. . The bones are all linked together by muscles and extra-strong ligaments which add stability and allow for a restricted range of motion. Though minor this movement is required for staying upright and even giving birth. The joint bones are  lined with a cartilages for protection. Fluid fills the spaces between the bones in the SI joints providing lubrication. These areas are densely packed with open nerve endings that send pain signals to the brain. It can be painful when the bones in the SI joint are in improper alignment or when the cartilage wears away causing the bones to rub together.

Cause:

Plenty of individuals experience pain that aggravates over time; however SI joint pain can be linked  most often to an injury more than half of the time. It is difficult to attribute any single specific functional difficulty (such as walking sitting standing sleeping on the affected side job activity bowel movements coughing sneezing and so on) to the SI joint as a source of pain. Other  contributing factors include: • Injury to Lumbar Spine or Hip • Lumbar Fusion  • Age related degeneration • Pregnancy/Childbirth • Inflammatory joint disease like sacroilitis

Symptom:

Pain is frequently felt in the buttocks with discomfort radiating into the thigh or groin but it might also be felt in the low back. SI joint disorders are characterised by the following symptoms: • Pain and discomfort in the lower back • Lower-extremity pain numbness tingling and weakness • Buttock/pelvic pain • Hip/groin discomfort • Leg instability (buckling giving way) • Sleep disturbances caused by pain • Sitting patterns that are disrupted (inability to sit for long periods of time sitting on one side) • Rising from sitting posture  is excruciatingly painful. • Difficulty in climbing stairs.
