Are you suffering from chronic low back pain? It may be caused by problems in the “iliac joint”.
The doctor reminded that 1/4 of the back pain are related to “iliac joint disorders”, in the treatment of joint problems, if it is inflammation should be dealt with by drugs, if it is a muscle joint disability combined with ligament sprains, can be used drugs, physical therapy, exercise therapy, etc., and can be used in 3 movements to maintain the iliac joints.
A quarter of low back pain problems are related to the “iliac joint”.
Rehabilitation physician Dr. Yen-Liu Lee points out that one-fourth of low back pain is related to “iliac joint disorders”, which can be broadly categorized into traumatic types, such as impact, fracture, repetitive lifting, etc., and non-traumatic types, such as joint deterioration, arthritis, pregnancy and childbirth, infections, and lumbar spine surgery, etc. Most importantly, if the pain is caused by exercise or poor posture, it is necessary to correct the poor kinetic chain, which can lead to back pain. Most importantly, if iliac joint pain is triggered by exercise or poor posture, it is necessary to correct the poor kinetic chain, correct posture, or provide appropriate aids in order to minimize the recurrence rate.
How to check iliac joint?
Clinical iliac joint problems are like common lower back pain, sometimes radiating to the buttocks or thighs, but usually not below the calves. However, it can be difficult for you to differentiate between iliac joint pain and other lower back pain on their own. The best way to diagnose iliac joint pain is to use a general clinical diagnosis by a specialized physician, with the help of CT and MRI, and the golden rule is to diagnose the problem at the same time as the injection treatment.
Treatment of the iliac joint
Treatment depends on the type of iliac joint problem. If the problem is inflammation, medication should be used; if it is a combination of musculoskeletal dysfunction and ligament sprains, medication, physical therapy, exercise therapy, and augmentation injections are good choices; if conservative treatments are ineffective, high-frequency thermocoagulation and surgical treatments need to be considered.
