MECHANICAL LESIONS OF THE SACROILIAC JOINTS

RALPH R. FITCH M. D.

Strains of the sacroiliac joints are common. Such strains are the commonest cause of sciatic pain and of pain in the lower back. Tenderness over the sacroiliac joint and an increase of pain from flexion of the thigh, with the knee extended, are the two most important diagnostic points. The normal curve of the lumbar spine must be restored whenever it has been altered. The pelvis must be supported by pressure applied at least as low down as the great trochanters.
