Description: Do you have low back pain, below the waistline, on the backside of your pelvis? If so, you might be suffering from sacroiliac joint pain. SI joint pain accounts for an estimated 20% of "lower back pain," and the SI joint is very different than your lumbar in terms of function and dysfunction - and treatment protocol is also very different.

In all cases, you should check with a trusted healthcare provider before starting any self-care routine. ANATOMY Your sacrum is the bony plate on the back of your pelvis. It’s comprised of 5 fused vertebrae and the SI Joint is where your sacrum, that bony plate meets the elephant ears of your ilium. The key thing to remember about this joint is that it’s mostly rigid. It has maybe 3-5 degrees of rotation or movement, so I like to think about it like a closed door. Injury to the joint can result in inflamed and damaged ligaments, muscles, or bony structures. In the majority of cases, the biggest problem is instability, not stiffness, so healing often revolves around careful stalization of this region.
