SI Joint Pain Relief At Home
Many people suffer from some form of pain daily—whether it’s an old sports injury or new aches and pains that come with age. With discomfort or pain in the back, in particular, it’s vitally important it gets diagnosed and treated properly. If not, the pain could remain unresolved, persisting, and perhaps worsening for years.
There are a plethora of different types of pain in the back, and because that region of the body is so large and involved in so many day-to-day activities, it can be difficult to know exactly what kind of pain is occurring and for what reason.
What is SI Joint Pain?
Sacroiliac joint pain—also known as SI joint pain—is felt explicitly in the lower back and buttocks. SI pain is challenging to pinpoint or identify because it can often mimic other conditions such as a herniated disc.

-Sharp, stabbing pain
-Pain radiating from hips into the lower back and/or down thighs
-Feelings of leg instabilityHip/groin pain
-Sensations of numbness, tingling, or weakness in the lower back
-Difficulty sleeping due to pain
Experiencing any of these symptoms (individually or in combination with each other) is cause for concern. Luckily, there are ways to understand better what causes SI joint pain and subsequently ways to combat it.
What Causes SI Joint Pain?
The primary cause of SI joint pain is damage or injury to the joint between the spine and the hip. The ligaments become too loose or too tight as a result. This can happen for many reasons, including fall, work-related injury, car accident, hip or spine surgery, or childbirth. SI joint pain can also happen when repeated movements of the pelvis are not the same on both sides of the body
