Sacroiliac Pain: Common Cause Of Back Pain

Your entire spine is sitting on top of a triangle called the Sacrum (sacred bone). This bone has what looks like 2 wings on each side called the ilium. These bones make up the sacroiliac complex. This weekend I was at the Florida Chiropractic Associations National Convention in Orlando and a friend of mine fell down a few steps and jammed his leg. immediately he had shooting pain into his sacroiliac complex on the right side. So much pain that he had to hold himself up with the stair rail. This sacroiliac complex had slipped out of place and injured, pulling local ligaments and muscles into torsion. I helped him to a bench and examined his condition. Right Sacroiliac Joint had moved posterior into subluxation. Gently I helped him onto his side and applied a simple chiropractic adjustment replacing the Sacroiliac joint into normal alignment. He looked up at me and smiled, rolled over and stood up. No more pain. We went to lunch and forgot about the whole fall. Chiropractic adjustments are powerful when given to treat the right problem. If you think you maybe suffering from a Sacroiliac Joint Disorder, give me a call and lets have a look. Usually it causes pain in the buttocks on one side and increases as you try to get up fro a seated position, but there are several exceptions. Sometimes a simple adjustment may be all you need to end your pain.
