Medical Definition: Strain or tearing of the S.I. Joint ligaments. The S.I. Joint is the connection between your tailbone (sacrum) and pelvic bone (ilium).

Causes: Direct trauma or repetitive rotation to the lumbar spine and pelvis.

Symptoms: Pain in the lower region of the lower back which may be exaggerated by sitting or standing for extended periods of time.

Recommended Treatment: Decreased activity to allow joint to rest and heal. Conservative physical therapy program provided by a certified professional should help expedite your recovery. A S.I. Back Belt will help stabilize a loose or overly flexible S.I. Joint.

Hamstring Strain or Tear

Medical Definition: The hamstring consists of three muscle groups, including the semimembranosus, semitendinousus, and the biceps femoris. A hamstring strain occurs when excessive or repetitive stress causes tearing of the muscle fibers in the hamstring.

Causes: Tight hamstring muscles, muscle imbalance, sudden movement, and repetitive strain are all common types of hamstring injuries.

Symptoms: A sharp pain may be felt in the hamstring when a serious strain or tear occurs. This often happens during such action as an explosive move in basketball or a quick sprint. If you feel a deep ache in the hamstring area it may be a less severe strain or minor tear.

Recommended Treatment: See a medical professional for an evaluation. Rest leg as much as possible and ice after any activity to promote healing. Use a brace when participating in any strenuous activity to reduce stress to area. Stretch the hamstring muscles as long as stretching causes no pain.
