The SI joint is one of the major causes of low back pain, and it tends to affect a person’s ability to perform daily activities. Sprained ligaments in the sacroiliac region cause an imbalanced muscular response resulting in muscle spasms and back, hip, and leg pain.
Sciatic back pain is often hard to identify and treat. Sciatica braces can offer you the support and relief you may need to improve your quality of life and get back into the swing of things. We have a vast selection of braces to choose from, but let’s first take a look at what sciatica is and what causes this gnawing pain.
It is the joint between the sacrum under the spine and the ilium bones of the pelvis. The spine is supported by the sacrum which is in turn supported by the ilium bones. They are connected by strong ligaments. There are two sacroiliac joints, one on the left and one on the right. The main function of the joint is to absorb shock for the spine.
