For the diagnosis of sacroiliac arthritis, it is difficult to rely on self-judgment, and requires a doctor to make a judgment based on the patient’s description, physical examination, and examination of imaging.
Sacroiliac arthritis is an inflammatory reaction of unilateral or bilateral sacroiliac joints caused by various reasons. The main symptoms include lower back pain, morning stiffness, and impaired joint mobility.

The diagnosis of sacroiliac arthritis needs to be determined by the doctor through the patient’s description, physical examination and imaging examination. Physical examination mainly includes “4” test, pelvic compression separation test, etc. Imaging examination includes X-ray, CT, MRI, etc., all of which are helpful for doctors to make a diagnosis.
If symptoms such as lower back pain and morning stiffness occur as mentioned above, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time so as not to delay the condition.
