What’s the Sacroiliac Joint Got to do With my Lower Back Pain?

At the offices of Southern Medical Suites, our team of physical therapists are uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat symptoms arising from this joint with the funny sounding name. The sacroiliac sits between the sacrum (a bone at the bottom of your spine) and the ilium (a bone in the upper part of your pelvis). Although the two sides of the joint are supposed to work together, trouble sets in if one side isn’t carrying its weight. Stiffness, looseness, a muscle imbalance, arthritis or an injury are among the culprits.

Our friendly, fully licensed staff will conduct a thorough examination and evaluation, carefully observing how your body responds to various movements. We will then work closely with you and your doctor to develop an individual treatment plan focused on relieving your pain by restoring the sacroiliac joint’s function and providing stretching and exercises that will strengthen your lower back so the pain doesn’t return. This process includes carefully monitoring your progress and adjusting our program accordingly.

There’s no need to live with aggravating lower back pain. At the comfortable, state-of-the-art offices of Southern Medical Suites, we deliver personalized care that will restore the healthy, active lifestyle you desire. Contact us today to schedule a comprehensive assessment — your first step on the path to better health.
