The best resource on sacroiliac problems availableJuly 16, 1999 23 out of 23 found this review helpful
This book brings together the greatest amount of current clinical and basic science information on the importance of the pelvis, and particularly, the sacroiliac joints, and their relation to low back pain. The traditional medical model has assumed for years that only spinal structures, such as the discs and facet joints, are important in low back pain syndrome. This book clearly identifies the role of the sacroiliac joints in producing low back pain and provides information on both conservative and surgical treatment.
