Frequently asked questions
Is SIJ pain common during pregnancy?
Yes. Hormonal and biomechanical changes during pregnancy can contribute to SIJ symptoms. Targeted strengthening and management strategies are effective.
How is SIJ pain different from lower back pain?
SIJ pain is typically felt around the pelvis or buttock rather than centrally in the spine. Clinical testing helps differentiate between the two.
