Sacroiliac Joint Pain (SI Joint)

Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction is a condition that causes pain in the lower back and pelvis due to issues with the sacroiliac joints, which connect the sacrum at the base of the spine to the pelvic bones. These joints play a crucial role in supporting and transferring weight between the upper body and the legs. When the SI joints become unstable or restricted, they can cause pain, limited mobility, and discomfort. Factors like trauma, pregnancy, arthritis, or even structural abnormalities can lead to SI joint dysfunction. Additionally, conditions such as scoliosis, leg length discrepancies, or certain inflammatory disorders can increase the risk

At Built to Move Physical Therapy, our skilled therapists specialize in assessing the sacrum’s position and using manual techniques to correct misalignments. We also provide education on self-correction and teach specific exercises to stabilize the sacrum and prevent re-injury. In some cases, we may recommend a special support belt to enhance stability.

If you’re experiencing sacral pain or discomfort, contact Built to Move today to learn how physical therapy can help restore your mobility and reduce pain.
