WHAT IS A SACROILIAC JOINT SPRAIN/STRAIN?
Synovial joints, also known as sacroiliac joints, are weight-bearing joints that are connected to the lumbar spine, sacrum,
and pelvis, and are encircled by muscles and ligaments.
The joint can become stressed, which can result in concerns with the tissues surrounding it, such as muscles and ligaments, if these joints do not move properly or if they move excessively.
