Cause #7: Inflammation of the Sacroiliac Joint
The sacroiliac joint is where the spine and pelvis meet. The joint itself doesn’t move a lot, but it’s still very important because it helps absorb the weight of the upper body as weight transfers to the lower body.
The sacroiliac joint can wear down during intense movement or after an injury. Arthritis also may cause damage to the sacroiliac joint. If the joint is damaged, lower back pain can result.
