The SI Problem: How Damaged Sacroiliac Joints Mimic Sciatica & Pelvic Pain “Breaking Down Sciatica & The SI Joint.”

Those who have experienced lower back pain or pelvic aches know how unbearable those problems can be. Yet when one or both of the sacroiliac (SI) joint are injured or irritated, that agony is doubled because both the lower spine and the pelvic area are affected. Common Causes Sacroiliitis, the name for SI inflammation, often springs from a person going from a moderate lifestyle into a “weekend warrior” situation. Alternatively, a reasonably active person who is forced to become sedentary can also find herself with sacroiliitis. In general, the sacroiliac joints act as “shock absorbers,” especially to your back, so any changes in joint mobility will first be felt by the SI joint. Of course, a direct hit to your spinal area, or any sudden wrenching, may also result in sacroiliitis. Main Symptoms Sciatic pain is the most frequent complaint of people with sacroiliac joint issues. If the pain has been caused by sudden activity or injury, it often makes itself known in the lower back, pelvic or hip area, especially when it is at its most intense.

more to one side of the back, as well as in the buttocks region. For this reason, it very much adheres to symptoms felt from common sciatica. In addition to the generalzed pain, SI issues tend to make it harder to make common moves like bending over, or attempting to sit or stand. Not only will the pain often stop you from completing these motions, but you may experience a stiffening up caused by the joint inflammation. Treatment Options Chances are, you’ll find that a combination of two or more common sacroiliitis treatments can work wonders in relieving you of SI pain and stiffness. Always check with your doctor before trying any healing methods. Inflammation treatment. The time-tested methods of reducing any bodily swelling and pain can certainly be of benefit to those suffering from SI pain, specifically. Apply ice or heating packs for 20 minute intervals, and rest as much as possible. Pain management.

Patient Success Spotlights “Quickly got me back to where I was before the setback” Success Story: Jodi O.

Hear What Our Patients Have to Say!

got me back to where I was before the setback. I am now able to tie my own shoes, dress myself, and so much more!!! Six months after surgery, I now hope for even more. I will be forever grateful for all that Jim and his staff have done for me!! I am so thankful for The Next Level!!!” “Their primary concern is to help you improve and do your best!” Success Story: Willa S.

“After having back surgery to remove a ruptured disc, I had begun to have trouble with everyday activities, such as, tying my shoes and dressing myself. My body seemed to be losing flexibility and I hurt in my back and hips, that on most days, was almost unbearable. When my doctor ordered physical therapy at my six

“When my doctor told me that I needed physical therapy, my reply was “not me”. When he told me that I may need surgery, I said to myself “I don’t have time to fit either of these in my life”. I was willing to put up with the pain and alteration in mobility. I was in denial. I prayed over the next few days and God told me not to give up. I needed to regainmystrength formy family.

(6) week post-op appointment, I was so relieved! I had been to The Next Level a couple of times before and felt sure that I anyone could help me, they could. From the very beginning, Jim put me at ease. He explained what was happening to me, where my pain was coming from, and why I was having pain. He answered all my questions very thoroughly, was very honest about what was ahead for me in physical therapy and was very encouraging about what I could accomplish. My physical therapy was very slow at first, as I was just trying to get a little flexibility, but the entire staff celebrated all my little accomplishments along the way. No feat was too small! I could always count on a smile, a wave, a hug and words of encouragement at The Next Level. Everyone was well informed about my case and what was the next step I reaching my goal. The atmosphere at The Next Level was always positive and upbeat. Most days it didn’t really seem like physical therapy, but more like a group of friends helping and encouraging me through a tough time. When I had a couple of small setbacks during therapy, they were there with the utmost of care and concern, and quickly

My first visit at The Next Level was remarkable. This is one of the most positive places that I have visited. All the staff here smile, give lots of encouragement, and their primary concern is to help you improve and do your best. My initial consultation with Jim is one I will never forget. He told me I would get better and that I would not need surgery. I began to cry and it was hard to stop. My course of treatment was not too difficult. I have done things that I did not think I was capable of. My pain is gone, I have soreness now and then, but my confidence has accelerated. There is no such thing as I can’t or I won’t get better. The Next Level has changed my life. I am whole again!! I appreciate you all!! Thank you so much!!”
