Have you ever felt an unexplained pinch in your lower back and/or hip that becomes irritated when you move from the sitting-to-standing position? If so, then you may be experiencing sacroiliac joint pain. The sacroiliac (SI) joints are formed by the connection of the sacrum and the right and left iliac bones. The function of this joint is to transfer weight and forces due to movement of your upper body through the pelvis, to your legs and vice versa. When this joint becomes injured and/or moved out of place, Dr. Jason Jumper of Renew Chiropractic can fix the problem.
The primary role of the sacroiliac joint is to provide stability for the pelvis and to bear the upper load of the body. It acts as a shock-absorbing structure and does not have much motion, but it can cause pain once it’s moved out of its groove. While it is not clear how the pain is caused, it can develop because of too much movement or too little movement. If you feel inflammation in this area, the longer you wait to find relief, the longer it will take to correct the problem.
Because everyone is different, the treatment plan varies for each individual. Fortunately, sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be treated without surgery. Dr. Jason Jumper may implement a treatment method called “The Pettibon System.” The Pettibon system uses a group of manipulative techniques performed both by hand and mechanical instruments and rehabilitation exercises.
