Did you know that experts estimate that 20-25% of chrronic lower back pain comes from the sacroiliac joints ( the joints between the lower spine and pelvis)? This is one of the reasons there are so many unsuccessful low back/spine surgeries.
Although fusion of the SI joints can be beneficial in a very small subset of patients, it to is a highly overperformed surgery.
