Sacroiliac joint dysfunction or incompetence generally refers to pain in the sacroiliac joint region that is caused by abnormal motion in the sacroiliac joint, either too much motion or too little motion. It typically results in inflammation of the SI joint, and can be debilitating.

SYMPTOMS

Common symptoms include lower back pain, buttocks pain, sciatic leg pain, groin pain, hip pain (for explanation of leg, groin, and hip pain, see referred pain), urinary frequency, and "transient numbness, prickling, or tingling".

Pain can range from dull aching to sharp and stabbing and increases with physical activity. Symptoms also worsen with prolonged or sustained positions (i.e., sitting, standing, lying).

Bending forward, stair climbing, hill climbing, and rising from a seated position can also provoke pain. Pain is reported to increase during sexual intercourse and menstruation in women.

Like with other chronic pain conditions, patients with severe and disabling sacroiliac joint dysfunction can suffer from insomnia and depression.

TREATMENT
- Rest from any sporting activity
- Sports massage therapy and Neuromuscular therapy
- Use anti inflammatory protocols - Chiropractic adjustment (of Atlas)
- Corrective exercise to improve muscle balance in lower limps
- Ice
- Heat therapy
- Yoga
