Sacroiliac Joint Pain: Pelvic Instability as an Indicator of Inguinal Hernia
The sacroiliac joint has no active muscular control of its own — its stability is entirely dependent on the surrounding musculature maintaining adequate tone. The presence of a direct inguinal hernia can lead to an inhibition of the muscles and ligaments supporting the pelvic ring, including the sacroiliac joint.
Testing the Adductors
It is important to make the adductors part of your clinical examination for pelvic stability, low back and hip issues.
