1. Causes of SI Joint Dysfunction
2. SI Joint Dysfunction - Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention
SI Joint Dysfunction Treatment
The most often used treatments involve physical therapy and exercises focusing on core stability. After working with a physical therapist patients can continue the exercises at home. A special belt is sometimes used to support the area in addition to the exercises. In extreme cases a physician may prescribe injections of steroids or pain medications directly into the sacroiliac joints. Other medications can be taken by mouth if the physician deems it safe during pregnancy.
Prevention
Although it is not possible to prevent the release of the hormones that can cause this disorder there are some things that can lessen the pain. Since climbing stairs can be painful it is best to avoid them when possible. Walking slowly can help lessen the motions that have to be absorbed by the joints. Moving both legs together when getting in and out of vehicles makes it easier to avoid twisting the back. The best sleeping position is on the side while placing a pillow between the knees.
