SI Joint left Hip (Forward)

SI Joint Left Hip

The sacroiliac joint connects the spine to the pelvis and is essential to carrying weight throughout the body, although the joint itself does not move much. 

This condition can be treated through spinal adjustments performed on the pelvis, stretching of the lower back and hamstring muscles and proper posture exercises.  These conservative treatments aim to restore proper alignment to the joint while relieving pain and allowing the patient to function properly once again.

When the left hip is positioned slightly forward in relation to the right hip, movement in the hip can cause the iliac bone to press against the sciatic nerve, resulting in pain that can be felt in the lower back, buttocks, back of the thigh, calf or foot.
