title: Sacroiliac dysfunction as a cause of low back pain.
abstract: The diagnosis of sacroiliac dysfunction cannot be assessed by the usual movements of the lumbar spine; namely, extension, flexion and lateral flexion. Many patients complaining of lower back pain have good lumbar mobility. If this is so, careful attention must be given to other structures in the region capable of causing lower back pain, including the sacroiliac joints (SIJs).
