Overview
About Lower Back & SI Joint Pain
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people see an orthopaedic doctor. It can arise from the discs, the small facet joints, the sacroiliac (SI) joints or the muscles.
Treatment targets the exact pain source — with exercise, posture correction, medicines and image-guided injections — and surgery is rarely needed.
