Strained
sacroiliac needs evaluation
Sept. 27, 2004
Q.
My doctor told me that I have a strained sacroiliac
muscle. What is a sacroiliac and how do I treat it?
A. The sacroiliac is not
a muscle but rather the posterior part of the pelvis
that is between the lower back and the hip joints. The
sacroiliac joints (right and left) connect the sacrum,
the triangular bone at the bottom of the spine, with
the pelvis (iliac crest). Sacroiliac joints are frequently
strained by bending forward from the waist, usually
while lifting or setting down a heavy load. Because
the sacroiliac is at the center of gravity of the body
and is a major weight-bearing joint, injuries to the
area can be severe and debilitating.
A strained sacroiliac should be evaluated by a chiropractor,
who can determine the range of motion and alignment
of the joint and what the proper course of treatment
should be. Treatment usually consists of chiropractic
manipulation of the injured joint and the surrounding
joints to realign the area to ensure a faster and proper
healing. A chiropractor most likely will prescribe icing
at home and a regimen of exercises to stabilize and
strengthen the sacroiliac joint.
