Sacroiliac Pain Treatment

Sacroiliac pain refers to sacroiliac joint pain treatment.

The sacroiliac bones are formed by the connection of the iliac bones, the largest bones in the pelvis, with the sacrum. The sacrum is composed of five fused vertebrae. There’s relatively little motion in the sacroiliac joints, with most of the pelvic motion occurring at the hips or lumbar spine, but they do support the weight of most of the upper body when a person is standing. Because so much stress is placed on these joints, they are especially susceptible to sacroiliac joint pain caused by cartilage degeneration and arthritis.

Loss of cartilage is the most common cause of sacroiliac joint dysfunction. As the cartilage degenerates, it can no longer function as a protective shock absorber alleviating friction between bones rubbing against one another. As a result, osteoarthritis may ensue. Patients may also develop joint dysfunction as a result of abnormal gait patterns and joint disorders such as gout and rheumato increased wear and stress on the joints.

This form of joint pain affects between 15 to strengthen the weak muscles and stabilize the pelvis.

At New York Dynamic Rehabilitation clinic (NYDNRehab), located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, we provide several advanced methods for sacroiliac joint pain treatment. Technological gait and running analysis diagnoses abnormalities in a patient’s running and walking cycles. Markers are placed on strategic locations of the runner’s body. Then, as he or she moves along a treadmill in our gait lab, computers record, measure, and analyze information from all marked parts of the body to create imaginary scenarios for the performance of exercises that can’t be done in a normal environment. With over fifteen years’ experience treating sports and orthopedic injuries, NYDNRehab is a pioneer in patient care and rehabilitation.
