SACROILIITIS
Sacroiliitis is a condition referring to the inflammation of the sacroiliac joint – located in your pelvic region – and can involve symptoms like lower back pain, lack of mobility and joint dysfunction.
WHAT IS SACROILIITIS?
Sacroiliitis is typically caused by either too much or too little movement of the sacroiliac joint. Symptoms may include pain in the lower back, buttocks, hips and legs, and general stiffness in the hips and lower back. Pain associated with sacroiliitis tends to worsen when sitting for extended periods of time.

WHO CAN GET SACROILIITIS?
In order to correctly diagnose sacroiliitis, a diagnostic test called a sacroiliac joint block is performed. Medication is injected into the joint in order to attempt to temporarily relieve pain. If your pain is relieved, the diagnosis of sacroiliitis is typically certain. Upon diagnosis, initial treatment recommendations are typically more conservative, such as hot or cold compresses, physical therapy, sacroiliac joint exercises and continued sacroiliac joint injections. If conservative methods fail to relieve pain, sacroiliac joint surgery may be recommended.
