What is Sacroiliac Pain?
The sacroiliac joint is one of the strongest in the human body. It must bear the weight of the entire upper body at the junctures of the sacrum and the pelvic ilium. The joint is surrounded by the sacroiliac ligaments which are tough as nails. There are 2 common varieties of sacroiliac symptoms: * Osteoarthritis can cause degenerative changes in the bones, just like anywhere else in the body. This condition is sometimes called sacroiliitis. * Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is often diagnosed when there is a suspected problem with the ligaments which encapsulate the joint. Typically, the ligaments are too loose, which provides abnormal joint movement, although sometimes they can be too tight, causing an overall reduction of movement.
