What is The SI Joint
The sacroiliac joint connects the base of your spine to the pelvis on each side.
It plays a vital role in absorbing shock between the upper body and legs.
The joint allows minimal movement but provides crucial stability for walking, standing, and bending.
Inflammation or dysfunction can cause pain in the lower back, hips, or buttocks.
Common causes include repetitive strain, pregnancy, uneven leg length, or trauma like falls or car accidents.
Poor posture, hypermobility, or prolonged sitting can also place stress on the SI joint.
Pain may feel sharp, aching, or radiate into the thighs or groin.
Gentle movement, targeted exercises, and rest can help reduce discomfort and improve mobility.
Always consult a professional if pain persists or worsens with movement.
