Badgley LE et al. – The disordered sacroiliac joint is hypermobile due to abnormal laxity of damaged ligaments that tether together the bones that form the joint.1–5 The ligament that seems to be most commonly injured is the iliolumbar ligament. Damaged ligaments allow the disordered sacroiliac joint bones to partially dislodge when physically stressed. In the upright body, this joint usually bears over 100 pounds or more. It is critical that this disorder be recognized because it is not only a common cause of chronic back pain and sciatica, it may be associated or possibly even causative of a number of common musculo–skeletal conditions. The most common manifestation is chronic low back pain and it may be the cause of between 10 and 30% of such cases.
