Sacroiliac joint dysfunction happens when there is uncharacteristic movement affecting the sacroiliac joint. The joint is at the base of your spine, sitting just above the coccyx. Unlike many joints in the rest of the body, the sacroiliac joint doesujn’t provide much movement, instead acting as a shock absorber for the upper body.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is usually a secondary issue, meaning there’s usually a different underlying condition that must be solved in order to fix sacroiliac dysfunction.
There are lots of possible causes of sacroiliac joint dysfunction, including:
Pain linked to the sacroiliac joint is often confused with a lumbar injury or sciatica because the symptoms are similar. That’s why a full examination is needed to find out exactly where the problem is. Patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction tend to experience:
Our first priority is to find the true cause of your sacroiliac dysfunction. During your consultation with ProBack Clinics, we will carry out a thorough examination so we know the full extent of your condition. After which, we will recommend the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is pain associated with the sacroiliac joint. Sacroiliac dysfunction is usually a secondary issue, meaning there is likely a different root cause of the problem that will need to be resolved to relieve pain in the long term. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction can also be known as sacroiliac syndrome or sacroiliac joint disorder.
There can be many different causes of sacroiliac joint dysfunction, including lower back misalignment, leg length asymmetry, ankle or knee problems. The condition can also happen after pregnancy, as a result of stretched or damaged tissue.
Finding out if there is a different condition causing sacroiliac joint dysfunction is important if you want to resolve the issue in the long term. In treating sacroiliac dysfunction, shockwave therapy or laser therapy can be used. Shockwave therapy helps improve the function of the lumbar spine, if misalignment in this area is causing the problem. Laser therapy can help in cases where tissue has been stretched or damaged. The light energy distributed by the K Laser on a specific area can help generate cell activity, improving the cell’s ability to heal.
We advise that if there’s an underlying cause of sacroiliac joint dysfunction, that this be discovered and addressed before beginning exercises, to prevent the condition being made worse. Usually, we will recommend specific exercises for each patient, as each case will be completely individual to them. This will traditionally be done after the patient has started their treatment, and usually around six to twelve treatments down the line.

Vladimir’s story started with knee pain. He had experienced this for a number of years alongside an underlying back problem. After surgeries and multiple injections to his knee with no relief, his back pain only got worse. This forced Vladimir to stop working and spiral into depression.
