What is Sacroiliac
Joint Syndrome?

Sacroiliac Joint Syndrome is pain that originates from the sacroiliac joint and the nerves which innervate this joint. SIJS is characterized by the acute onset of pain during torsional strain, and/or tenderness over the affected joint.
This pain can become chronic, which is defined as lasting longer than six months. Chronic sacroiliac joint pain can be very debilitating. It can be difficult to properly diagnose and therefore to treat. This pain can produce a severe aching discomfort across the lower back and buttock region that is usually worse in the early morning and after extended periods of sitting.
