Sacroiliac Joint Pain Relief Chiropractic
Pronounced (say-kroe-il-e-l-e-tis), is an inflammatory condition where your lower spine and pelvic region connect. Sacroilitis can cause pain in your buttocks and lower back regions, extending down one or both of your legs. Prolonged standing or climbing can increase the pain. This particular condition can be difficul to diagnose because it is mistaken for other low back pain conditions. It has been linked to a group of diseases that cause inflammatory arthritis of the spine. Blakely Chirporactic has been helping San Diego residents for over 4 decades with low back pain and arthritic-related conditions. Our goal is to get you back to a normal and healthy life.

Sacroilitis Symptoms
The pain associated with sacroiliitis most commonly occurs in the buttocks and lower back.
Sacroiliitis pain can be aggravated by:
Prolonged standing
Bearing more weight on one leg than the other
Stair climbing
Running
Taking large strides
Causes for Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Traumatic injury. A sudden impact, such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall, can damage your sacroiliac joints.
Arthritis. Wear-and-tear arthritis (osteoarthritis) can occur in sacroiliac joints, as can ankylosing spondylitis — a type of inflammatory arthritis that affects the spine.
Pregnancy. The sacroiliac joints must loosen and stretch to accommodate childbirth. The added weight and altered gait during pregnancy can cause additional stress on these joints and can lead to abnormal wear.
Infection. In rare cases, the sacroiliac joint can become infected.
Complications from Sacroiliac Disease
As with most conditions that can cause chronic pain in the body, sacroilitis can result in depression and insomnia.
The sacroiliac joints link your pelvis and lower spine. They're made up of the sacrum — the bony structure above your tailbone and below your lower vertebrae — and the top part (ilium) of your pelvis. There are sacroiliac joints in both the right and left sides of your lower back. Strong ligaments hold these joints in place. The sacroiliac joints support the weight of your upper body when you stand.
