Non-Surgical Treatment For SI Joint Pain
The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is a very important part of the body – it’s like the bridge between your upper and lower body. Injuring this area can be very tough, as nearly every lower body movement you do affects the SIJ.
Having SIJ pain also changes the way you move, almost subconsciously! If you have pain doing a certain movement, the body will slightly change its mechanics to make it a little bit easier or pain-less – think about when you sprain something, you’ll stiffen up that joint and avoid bending it too much.
This change in body mechanics can cause a domino-effect into the rest of your body, resulting in more stiffness that feeds back into increasing the pain you feel in your SIJ. Some common treatments for that include steroid-injections, which are designed to temporarily lower your pain. However, those usually come with some negative side-effects, and actually weaken the joint if done too many times. There’s also SIJ fusion surgery, which involves locking up the joints so that they can’t move.
Sacroiliac Joint Treatment Using Non-Invasive Therapy
You can probably imagine how bad fusing the SIJ would be for your overall mobility, plus it has a low success rate of eliminating the pain, and increases the chance of you needing additional surgery to correct the damage your altered body mechanics have done due to the SIJ fusion.

Sacroiliac Joint Pain Frequently Asked Questions
What is the sacroiliac joint?
The SIJ is a super important joint, consisting of your hip (AKA pelvis) and sacrum (lower spine). It transfers energy between the upper and lower body, making it an extremely important joint for stability and mobility.
What activities should I avoid if I have SIJ pain?
Things that put a lot of impact or pressure through your hips like running, jumping, skipping, and crossing your legs should be done very carefully until you have a proper recovery plan in place. We here at FIMO use advanced medical diagnostics to determine exactly what the extent of damage is and how to best approach recovery.
