Sacroiliac joint pain, or sacroiliitis, is the term used to describe inflammation of one or both of the sacroiliac joints. The sacroiliac joints are located where the pelvis connects to the lower spine, and are primarily used to absorb shock from the spine. Sacroiliitis most often results in pain in the hips, legs, buttocks, and lower back.

It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on the severity and symptoms of your sacroiliac joint pain.
In mild cases, sacroiliac joint pain may go away on its own with rest and self-care measures such as ice packs, stretching, and wearing supportive footwear. However, leaving the condition untreated could result in more severe pain and an increased risk of further injury. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for an appropriate treatment plan.
Maintaining good posture, exercising regularly, wearing comfortable and supportive shoes, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential steps to help reduce the risk of developing sacroiliac joint pain. In addition, avoiding repetitive movements and practicing proper lifting techniques may also help.
