Pain in the sacrum, pain in the sacrum with hip pain and/or shooting into the leg
We successfully treat back pain and disc herniations in the lumbar and cervical spine.
Pain in the sacrum as a result of the crossing of forces from the whole body.
„Cross“, i.e. the area of transition of the lower lumbar vertebra into the sacrum, or „esíčka“ (SI articulation or sacroiliacal, in translation cross-hip, articulation) are a frequent place of pain and discomfort. No wonder: in a relatively small space, influences from above from the spine and torso, as well as from below from the pelvis, hips and lower limbs, meet here. This makes this area vulnerable and prone to overload.
In addition to pain localized directly in the sacrum, it can also radiate to the sides, hips, buttocks, groin or even to the lower limbs.
When and why does the loin and sacrum hurt?
Pain with me occurs when leaning forward or bowing the spine, but also when walking, sitting, playing sports and even in a relaxed lying position.
Even with regard to the above, we often do not find the changes that cause problems directly in the area concerned. The cause may be increased tension in the pelvic floor muscles, pathological changes in the hip joints, unequal length of the lower extremities and, in general, muscle imbalance between the abdominal, gluteal, back muscles and muscles related to the hip joints. Often there is a disorder of the straightening of the spine with insufficient function of the deep stabilization system. Predispositions include hypermobility or, conversely, increased stiffness in the higher segments of the spine (usually combined with instability in the lumbar region). Obesity or, for example, scars from operations in the abdomen, groin, hips or back can also play a role.
Treatment of pain in the lower back and sacrum
In physiotherapy, first of all, we diagnose which of the above-mentioned causes is the main one in a particular case. We then work on this problem using manual techniques (whether it is the adjustment of muscle tension altered by imbalances, joint mobilization or scar treatment) and movement therapy aimed at stabilizing the spine, hips and inducing the proper functioning of the trunk muscles.
In our Be Balanced physiotherapy, we mostly use the DNS method of Prof. Pavel Kolář, which is the most effective for back pain and disc herniations.
Our physiotherapists will be happy to help you as well.
