Abstract:

Osteopaths often describe clinical findings around the sacroiliac joint. Such findings may be described as somatic dysfunction or specifically, as some combination of positional or motion alteration that is said to occur between the sacrum and ilia. These clinical findings may form the basis of subsequent osteopathic manipulative intervention. This review summarises aspects of current anatomical knowledge relating to the sacroiliac joint in the fields of function, motion and pain. Anatomical knowledge has expanded substantially since the late nineteenth century when osteopathic theories were originally described and yet osteopathic theory and practice in this clinical field remain substantially unaltered. Anatomical information is presented that may assist osteopathic practitioners in a process of informed clinical reasoning with particular respect to the osteopathic clinical examination, findings and subsequent management of the sacroiliac joint.
