Why Sacroiliac Joint Pain Disrupts Movement and Daily Life

Sacroiliac joint pain causes discomfort at the base of the spine, where the spine meets the pelvis. These joints absorb shock and support movement between the upper and lower body. When inflamed or irritated, they can lead to persistent pain and reduced mobility.

The condition often stems from injury, arthritis, or repetitive stress. Pregnancy, prolonged sitting, and mechanical dysfunction can also trigger symptoms. Patients typically report localised pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving, with discomfort worsening during certain activities.

Sacroiliac joint pain can disrupt daily life, but multiple treatment paths exist. Early diagnosis and targeted therapies often help manage symptoms effectively. In persistent cases, surgical intervention may provide lasting relief and improved function.
