SI Joint: “The Sacroiliac Joint connects the spine to the pelvis. Pain can occur when the joint becomes inflamed, stiff, unstable, or overloaded.
Common causes of SI joint pain include:
Poor posture or pelvic misalignment
Uneven weight distribution stresses the joint.
Pregnancy
Hormonal changes and ligament laxity increase joint mobility.
Trauma or falls
Sudden impact on the hips, buttocks, or lower back.
Disc problems or lumbar spine issues
Conditions like disc bulge can alter movement mechanics and overload the SI joint.
Leg length difference
Causes uneven pelvic loading.
Arthritis
Especially osteoarthritis or inflammatory conditions like ankylosing spondylitis.
Muscle imbalance or weakness
Weak core, glutes, or tight hip muscles reduce pelvic stability.
Prolonged sitting or standing
Repetitive stress irritates the joint.
Heavy lifting or twisting movements
Common in gym injuries or manual work.
Post-surgical changes
Sometimes after spinal fusion surgery.
Typical symptoms:
Pain near one side of lower back or buttock
Pain while standing from sitting
Pain during stair climbing, walking, or turning in bed
Pain radiating to thigh or groin
Management may include physiotherapy, pelvic stabilization exercises, posture correction, manual therapy, activity modification, and sometimes injections depending on severity.”
