SI Joint Pain Acupuncture Treatment

SI joint pain is also known as Sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Those who suffer from this condition feel pain in lower back and upper leg of either side of their body. SI joint pain can be the result of other conditions such as disc diseases, joint overuse, inflammation, degenerative diseases, or age. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is more present in women in their 30’s and 40’s.

So what is the sacroiliac joint?

The sacroiliac joint is the connecting joint between the sacrum and the pelvis. It is located below the lumbar spine and above the coccyx. The SI joint is characterized by being very small yet quite strong. It acts as a shock absorbing strutting, transmitting all the forces of the upper body to the hips and legs.

Symptoms of SI Joint Pain

Apart from low back pain and upper leg pain occurring, the following symptoms can show:

pain in the thigh to buttock radiating down the sciatic nerve
throbbing pain when exercising (bending, squatting, or standing up from a sitting position)
limited flexibility
loss of stability/balance
muscle weakness in legs

For proper diagnosis, please contact one of our clinics. Alongside chiropractic care and physiotherapy, acupuncture can help reduce SI joint pain by increasing blood flow to the affected areas, reducing stress on the muscles, relieving inflammation.
