One major reason for lower back pain is the dysfunction of your sacroiliac joint, called the SI joint. When you experience chronic pain that inhibits your movement, it’s often due to sacroiliac joint disease. The sacroiliac joints connect your sacrum, the bottom part of your spine, to your hip bones. A critical part of your spine, the SI joint absorbs the shocks between the upper body and the pelvis. It also enables forward and backward bending. The sacroiliac joint problems that lead to SI joint disease include: - Hypermobility or instability. Too much flexibility in your pelvis results in lower back pain. - Hypomobility or fixation. Too little flexibility due to degenerative joint disease causes tension and back pain, and it inhibits mobility in the SI joint. Early diagnosis is crucial for successful sacroiliac joint disease treatment.
