Thank you for joining us for today’s livestream where we talked about how to treat sacroiliac joint pain. We’re going to be explaining the relationship between the SIJ and the lower back and how to deal with these problems in the future.

The sacroiliac joint can often be pinpointed as an issue following many different diagnoses in the past. Unlike many joints, we don’t directly control the sacroiliac joint, so you can’t move it on demand. It allows the transmitting of forces from the hip into the lumbar spine. It provides stability to the structure.  You can’t specifically rehabilitate the sacroiliac joint because you can’t isolate the area. Looking at the research, practitioners can be inaccurate when it comes to testing mobility of the sacroiliac joint, so it’s not hugely accurate to make a diagnosis on the area without imaging.  During pregnancy, the ligaments loosen and can cause a genuine problem in the sacroiliac joint. If you have a lower back problem, you might see issues with the SI joint come to light, and they may be more mobile. The structure alone does not become injured, rather it’s likely to be an additional area of problem in addition to the lumbar spine.  Poor movement can contribute to this issue as it makes the back more exposed to injury and compromise the sacroiliac joint. There’s usually instability in the sacroiliac joint that causes people to come in complaining of a problem there. This instability is caused by gravity compressing down onto the joints and making them unstable, which if you’ve seen any of our other videos you will recall why. If your spinal alignment changes, the way we absorb the weight of gravity changes and we become more susceptible to injury. Taking the pressure off can resolve the problem.  Improving the mobility in your lower spine, increasing the strength and reengaging the core allow you to improve the function of the back. Supporting the natural curve in the back is important to take the pressure off. Strengthening then allows you to improve long-term prospects.
