Sacroiliac Joint Problems: A Hidden Cause of Sciatica Explained | Dr. VijayaRaghavan
🔍 Many people think sciatica pain is only caused by a slip disc, but that’s not always true. In this video, Dr. Vijay Raghavan, Spine Specialist from Chennai, reveals the lesser-known culprit behind chronic lower back and leg pain — the sacroiliac (SI) joint.

This video explains how sacroiliitis, or inflammation in the SI joint, can mimic slip disc symptoms, and why identifying the exact cause is crucial for the right treatment.

📌 Key Takeaways:

Sciatica pain is not always due to a slipped disc. Other causes like piriformis syndrome or sacroiliitis must be considered.

The sacroiliac joint connects the spine and pelvis, and inflammation in this area can cause pain radiating down the leg.

If you’re doing slip disc exercises without improvement, SI joint issues may be the real cause.

Proper clinical evaluation is essential to differentiate disc problems from joint inflammation.

Treating the wrong condition can delay recovery—know the root cause before beginning therapy.
