The sacroiliac joint or SI joint (SIJ) is the joint between the sacrum and the ilium bones of the pelvis, which are connected by strong ligaments.

Since sacroiliitis can describe any type of inflammation found within the sacroiliac joint, there can be a number of issues that cause it.

The sacroiliac joint is a paired joint in the pelvis that lies between the sacrum and an ilium. Due to its location in the lower back, a dysfunctional sacroiliac joint may cause lower back and/or leg pain. The resulting leg pain can be severe, resembling sciatica or a slipped disc.

There were variations, but the primary maneuver is to grab the legs and pull the knees up to the chest and hold them there for several seconds.
