Effective Relief for Lower Back and Hip Pain Without Surgery

What Is SI Joint Dysfunction?

The sacroiliac (SI) joints are located where the lower spine connects to the pelvis, supporting the weight of the upper body during movement. When one or both SI joints become inflamed, misaligned, or move abnormally, it leads to a condition known as SI joint dysfunction. This can cause pain in the lower back, hips, or buttocks, and often mimics conditions like sciatica or a slipped disc.

SI joint dysfunction is commonly underdiagnosed, yet it plays a major role in chronic lower back and pelvic pain.

Common Causes of SI Joint Dysfunction

  • Direct trauma to the pelvis or lower back (falls, accidents)

  • Poor posture or prolonged sitting

  • Repetitive strain from running, lifting, or twisting

  • Muscle imbalances in the core, hips, or glutes

  • Pregnancy or childbirth, due to pelvic ligament stretching

  • Arthritis or joint degeneration (osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis)

  • Leg length discrepancies or spinal alignment issues

  • Previous spinal surgery (especially lumbar fusions)

Signs and Symptoms of SI Joint Dysfunction

  • Pain in the lower back, buttocks, or groin region

  • Pain that worsens with prolonged standing, walking, or climbing stairs

  • Pain that reduces when lying down or changing positions

  • Stiffness or tightness in the hips and pelvis

  • Difficulty sitting or rising from a seated position

  • Pain during activities like turning in bed, bending, or twisting

  • Uneven weight distribution while standing or walking

  • Referred pain to the thighs (not typically below the knees)

Role of Physiotherapy in SI Joint Dysfunction

Physiotherapy is a key component in both the treatment and long-term management of SI joint dysfunction. At Myo Physio at Home, our physiotherapists create a customized rehab plan that includes:

  • Manual mobilization techniques for joint correction

  • Core stabilization exercises to support the pelvis and spine

  • Targeted strengthening of gluteal and hip stabilizers

  • Flexibility training to relieve compensatory tension

  • Gait and balance correction for even weight-bearing

  • Pain education to prevent fear-avoidance behavior

With consistent at-home physiotherapy, most patients notice a significant reduction in pain and improvement in daily function within weeks.

How to Prevent SI Joint Dysfunction

Preventive care is vital for long-term joint health and mobility. We guide our patients in developing sustainable habits to avoid recurrence.

  • Maintain good posture while sitting, standing, and walking

  • Avoid prolonged sitting and frequently change positions

  • Incorporate regular low-impact exercise (walking, swimming, yoga)

  • Strengthen core and hip muscles to stabilize the pelvis

  • Use proper techniques while lifting, bending, or twisting

  • Address any leg length differences or foot mechanics issues

  • Stay active and avoid sudden overload on the lower back

  • Follow ergonomic advice for workplace and household tasks
