Sacroiliac joint dysfunction and its role in lower back pain

If you have been struggling with pain in your lower back or upper thighs, this may be indicative of sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) – however, it is a condition that is often misdiagnosed.

In this guide, Mr Prokopios Annis, an experienced spinal surgeon, clearly explains what SIJD is so that patients can understand this condition and how to manage the symptoms.
