Sacroiliac Joint Pain

Sacroiliac Joint Pain

Facing challenges with sacroiliac (SI) joint pain?

Apex Neurosurgery and Spine is your trusted partner in this journey. The SI joint, serving as a bridge between the spine and pelvis, can lead to severe discomfort when compromised. Typical pain areas include the lower back and buttocks, often extending to the legs.

Causes of SI Joint Pain
  • Trauma: Direct impacts or falls onto the buttocks.
  • Pregnancy: Hormonal shifts, weight fluctuations, and altered gait patterns may strain the SI joint.
  • Degenerative Joint Diseases: For instance, osteoarthritis.
  • Muscle Imbalance: Long-term irregular strains may impact the SI joint.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Manifestations include lower back discomfort, thigh and buttock pain, and joint inflammation. Pelvic stiffness and a distinct burning feeling can also be markers. Diagnostics at Apex Neurosurgery and Spine combine patient narratives, thorough physical checks, and imaging techniques like MRIs or X-rays.
