Sacroiliac Pain

The Sacroiliac joints are formed by a few different parts, including the sacrum and iliac bones (together the left and right iliac bones help form the pelvis). These joints are tucked away deep inside the pelvis and are held in place by strong ligaments. These joints support the entire weight of the upper body, and any kind of dysfunction in them typically leads to a terrible pain. Often times this dysfunction is a result of a degenerative disease like osteoarthritis.

One way to help prevent the pain caused by bones and ligaments from rubbing together in the sacroiliac joints is to wear a sturdy back brace. The right back brace will help support some of the weight that was originally transferred to the sacroiliac joint, in turn decreasing pain and discomfort.
