How easy is it to diagnose sacroiliac joint dysfunction?
It is not always easy to diagnose sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Sometimes your physical findings may indicate a sacroiliac joint dysfunction, but chronic changes may also be seen in your lumbar spine. Your doctor may discuss the difficulty of making a correct diagnosis in the presence of multiple abnormalities. To confirm the sacroiliac joint as the source of low back pain, injections are invaluable. Provocation tests are helpful for localizing the pain source.
