The sacroiliac joint is where the sacrum and ilium bones meet and act as a pivot or joint. This subtle joint connects the spine to the pelvis, allowing for fluid motion during walking, running, jumping, and other activities. This joint is a unique and delicate part of the body, and its health significantly affects the spine and pelvis. If you have chronic pain or a traumatic injury to your sacroiliac joint, first, you should visit a doctor or physical therapist to get an official diagnosis. Then, you can recover by exercising, using support, changing your workstation, and taking care of your injury.
