AbstractOne hundred years ago, the sacroiliac joint was considered to be the most common cause of sciatica; over time, however, it became increasingly apparent that the major back enterprise lay in disc extractions. Still, despite the lack of specific clinical tests, the same clinical symptoms suggesting lumbar disc and lumbar facet joint pathology may also justify consideration of the sacroiliac joint as the pain generator. Treatment approaches, including manual therapies, bracing, and exercises, may benefit both the facet and sacroiliac joints as well as intradiscal pathologies. The possibility of utilizing specific local intra-articular steroid injections into the sacroiliac joint may add another useful tool to the armamentarium of back pain relief strategies.
