What is Sacroiliac Joint Pain?

Sacroiliac joint pain is discomfort in one or both of the joints that connect the lower spine and pelvis.

Common causes include arthritis, pregnancy, trauma, infection, or conditions that alter normal walking pattern.

Symptoms requiring management include lower back pain, buttock pain, sciatica-like pain, or difficulty turning or standing from a seated position.

Diagnosis involves a physical examination, patient history, and possibly imaging tests or diagnostic injections.

Conservative treatments include physical therapy, pain relievers, lifestyle modifications, and sacroiliac joint injections.

Interventional treatments can include nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and sacroiliac joint fusion.

The goal is to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve the patient's quality of life.
