Our sacroiliac joint is a highly complex joint that connects the bottom end of the spine with the pelvis. As a major joint in the body, the S.I joint is stabilised by an intricate network of ligaments and muscles in the hip and the low back such as the gluteal muscle groups, rectus femoris and erector spinae. On top of that, the joint lining also contains highly sensitive nerve endings and cartilage to ensure optimum function.
Due to the complexity of the joint, SI syndrome occurs when the movement of the S.I joint is compromised, resulting as either hypermobility (excessive movement) or hypomobility (lack of movement) at the joint. Some common factors that can affect mobility at the joint are:
•Prolonged Sitting •Pregnancy •Leg length inequality
•Hip osteoarthrisits •Tightening of the surrounding musculatures.
•Trauma such as landing on buttock. •Scoliosis
The resulting change in mobility causes overusage of certain structures hence the development of pain.
Patients with SI syndrome may experience:
•Low back pain •Pain with prolonged sitting or pain with sit-stand manoeuvre. •Referred pain into lower limb such as groin, knee, foot.
•Neurological symptoms such as tingling and numbness.
Due to the presentations that overlap with various other conditions, SI syndrome is often overlooked and misdiagnosed.
Chiropractic treatments have been well documented to manage SI syndrome in a drug-free and effective manner. The initial phase of treatment would focus on pain management by restoring proper function and reducing inflammation at the involved joint. Treatments would usually involve joint manipulation/mobilisation, trigger point therapy, home stretches and kinesiotaping. Once the inflammation subsides, the patient would then be gradually exposed to an exercise program aimed at strengthening the region.
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms associated Si syndrome, please do not hesitate to come in for an examination at Spearwood Chiropractic. Call us on 0481342837 to make an appointment.
