The Sacroiliac Joint is the joint where the sacrum (area below the lumbar spine) meets the pelvis. They are strong weight bearing joints with irregular edges that help lock the joints together like a wedge, preventing much movement within the joint. Sacroiliac Joint Pain is often caused by the compression or repetitive loading of the strong ligaments that help hold the joints together. Pain can be caused by inflammation or bruising of the ligaments or joint capsule, interference to the nerves around the joint or muscle dysfunction.
Lower back pain can come from many sources but typically arises from facet joints and the soft tissues that surround and support your lumbar spine. The area of the spine that takes the most load from movement and activity is the lower back, or lumbar region. This consists of five relatively large vertebrae and discs. The discs cushioning these vertebrae can bulge, tear and decrease in height due to repeated bending or prolonged sitting and can result in Lower Back pain for ‘no apparent reason’ or can occur in acute sudden episodes.
Evidence suggests that staying active with even acute back pain gives you better long term results. You will not be harming your back if you stick to the recommendations given from your Physiotherapist. We also recommend using a lumbar support when sitting and taping from your Physiotherapist.
