10 Causes of Sciatica
Cause #2: Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
A common cause of sciatica is sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Any dysfunction of this joint can lead to sciatica and pain in one or both legs. It is more common among young or middle-aged women.
This joint is located between the sacrum and the pelvis. Too much movement or too little movement of this joint usually causes sacroiliac joint dysfunction. However, an inflammation of the sacroiliac joint is also associated with pelvic pain and sciatica.
