Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain is a frequently overlooked but significant cause of lower back and buttock pain. The sacroiliac joints, located where the spine connects to the pelvis, play a vital role in absorbing shock and supporting your body’s weight during movement. When these joints become inflamed, stiff, or misaligned, it can lead to pain that mimics other spinal conditions like sciatica or disc issues.
