What is
The sacroiliac joint is the joint that joins the sacrum, the final bone of the spine in the form of a triangle, with the pelvis, the rest of the hip. This joint is responsible for allowing the transmission of forces from the lumbar spine to the hips and from there to the rest of the legs to the feet. Its function is essential to allow us to perform daily gestures such as getting up, walking, climbing stairs or running. Its pain can radiate to the gluteal region, end of the spine and back of the thigh.

Causes
This pain does not usually manifest itself on its own, but arises as a consequence of particular anatomical situations that lead to an overload of the joint:
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Overloading after spinal surgery
- Overloading due to disc and joint involvement in the lumbar region.
- Scoliosis
Symptoms
This pain is located at the end of the lumbar spine, a little on the sides of the region at the end of the spine where it articulates with the pelvis. The pain worsens when sitting, squatting or going from standing to sitting.
