Medical Record, Physical and Neurological Data That Orient to the Diagnosis of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Sponsor: University of Valencia

Summary

There are many patients coming daily to our office with the complaint of chronic lumbosacral pain radiating or not to the legs that need a proper diagnosis before any treatment is decided. The diagnosis, based mostly on radiological exams, carries a risk of failure to diagnose the sacroiliac joint as the cause of the pain. The study proposes that a quick interrogatory followed by a physical exam with the adequate provocative testing can raise the suspicion of the diagnosis that the pain is originating from the sacroiliac joint. Thereafter, a diagnostic sacroiliac joint block can be performed. The study aims to correlate findings from patient history and physical examination with eventual diagnosis.
