Sacroiliac Joint Disorders
What is a sacroiliac joint disorder?
The sacroiliac joint (SI joint) connects your hip to your spine, with one joint located on each side of your lower back just above the buttocks. A sacroiliac joint disorder is a condition that affects this joint, leading to pain and discomfort. Physiotherapy is an effective treatment option for managing sacroiliac joint disorders.
How does a sacroiliac joint disorder happen?
A sacroiliac joint disorder can develop when there is excessive movement in the joint, placing strain on the ligaments and other soft tissues that provide support. If these ligaments and structures are continually stressed and overstretched, it can lead to pain and inflammation in the sacroiliac joint.
What are the symptoms of a sacroiliac joint disorder?
Pain on one side of the back, just above the buttock, is commonly seen in individuals with a sacroiliac joint disorder. Discomfort may also radiate to the groin or the front and outer side of the thigh.
- Localised tenderness over the sacroiliac joint
- Pain that worsens when standing up from a sitting position
- Increased discomfort during prolonged standing or walking
- Pain when climbing stairs or running
- Stiffness and reduced mobility in the lower back or hips
- Pain aggravated by weight-bearing on the affected side
- Occasional tingling, numbness, or weakness in the leg on the affected side
What should I do if I have a sacroiliac joint disorder?
If you have, or suspect you may have, a sacroiliac joint disorder, you should arrange a physiotherapy assessment.
Physiotherapy treatment for a sacroiliac joint disorder.
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in treating sacroiliac joint disorders. Your physiotherapist will diagnose the condition, assess its severity, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Manual therapy to improve joint mobility and alignment
- Strengthening exercises for supporting muscles
- Stretching to reduce muscle tightness
- Postural correction and ergonomic advice
- Pain relief techniques such as heat, ice, or ultrasound therapy
- Gradual return-to-activity planning
What shouldn’t I do if I have a sacroiliac joint disorder?
If you have or suspect you have a sacroiliac joint disorder, you should not ignore the problem or continue activities that aggravate your pain, including sports, as this can worsen the condition and prolong recovery.
Could there be any long-term effects from a sacroiliac joint disorder?
Sacroiliac joint disorders typically do not cause long-term effects if they are diagnosed and treated promptly. Most people recover within a few weeks, although recovery may take longer in cases of severe injury.
