4. Arthritis
5. Degenerative changes in the joint

Common sequelae from altered sacroiliac movement include:

1. Low back pain
2. Hip pain
3. Referred pain to the legs or feet
4. Stiffness or limited mobility in the lower back and hip area
5. Difficulty standing or walking for prolonged periods of time
6. Instability or a sensation of “giving way” in the lower back or hip area.
