Sacroiliac Joint Problems

Sacroiliac joint problems (SIJ) are one of the most common generators of pain in the lower back region. The joint does not have much motion and transmits forces from the upper body to the pelvis, hips and legs. It is also commonly affected by inflammatory conditions such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and anklylosing spondylitis.

Sciatica

Sciatica is a specific pain that originates from the sciatic nerves which each run from one side of the pelvis through the hip and buttocks and down the leg. The Sciatic nerve forms what is effectively an electrical cable to and from the brain. Sciatica is a condition where pain, weakness or altered sensation can be experienced in the buttock, hamstring, calf or foot but it stems from the spine, via the Sciatic nerve. The most common cause of Sciatica is compression of the nerve due to a herniated disc.

Sciatica may be triggered by very small, normal movements like bending over to one side to pick something up, as well from suffering a trauma like falling off a ladder and landing on your back. It usually affects only one side of the pelvis and leg. Pain extending from the lower back along the back of the leg is a common symptom of sciatica.
