Sacroiliac Joint Syndrome |
|
The SI Joint can be injured in an auto accident. The strong ligaments that
hold the joint together can become stretched, much the same way the ligaments in the knee
can be stretched. This can cause some extra movement in the joint (small amounts of
extra "give" in unusual directions). This can lead to inflammation and
swelling inside the joint and or to overload of the ligaments.

Manipulation or mobilization
into the directions that are stiff has been a mainstay of treatment. Other types of
treatment include strengthening the hip girdle muscles, lumbar stabilization exercises, SI
belts, TENS units, injection of anti-inflammatories, prolotherapy, and SI Fusion. |
