• A common, yet enigmatic cause of this debilitating pain is the malalignment of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ).
• At first glance, however, many rehab professionals and even surgeons believe other back and hip injuries, such as facet-joint syndrome or a bulging disc, are the reasons for the pain.
• X-rays, MRIs, and even CT scans might show narrowing spinal discs or other possible factors producing the problem; yet these tests have minimal benefit because they oftentimes fail to show the exact source of the client’s pain.It is important to accurately identify and diagnose pain from the SIJ’s and pain from hip impingement.
• Medical professionals may misdiagnose the problem and intervention may be unsuccessful.
