Brief summary (from the registry)
The sacroiliac joint is Located between the pelvis and base of the spine, the sacroiliac joints are strong, stable joints that allow for little movement. While these joints do not bend like a knuckle or knee, they are susceptible to degenerative arthritis. Sacroiliac joint pain is one of the most common causes of chronic low back pain, accounting for 10% to 27% of patients with chronic lower back pain. It is known to be caused by abnormal motion in this joint, namely, too much motion or too little motion. Patients with pain experience various degrees of pain in the low back, groin, buttock, or posterior thigh.
