What is Sacroiliac Dysfunction
Dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint causes pain in the low back and/or leg. This condition is more common in young and middle age women. The sacroiliac joint lies next to the spine and connects the sacrum (the triangular bone at the bottom of the spine) with the pelvis (iliac crest). While it is not clear how the pain is caused, it is thought that an alteration in the normal joint motion may be the culprit that causes sacroiliac joint pain.
