Q What can I do to manage sacroiliac joint pain at home?
A Avoid crossing your legs or standing with uneven weight distribution, and sit in a balanced posture. Strengthening your gluteal and core muscles, along with applying warm compresses, is helpful, and it is best to avoid sofas that are too soft.
Detailed Answer
In daily life, left-right balance is key. Do not cross your legs or stand with uneven weight distribution; sit with your buttocks deep in the chair to distribute your weight evenly on both sides. Since overly soft sofas or beds can twist the pelvis, a moderately firm floor is preferable, and during the acute phase, use warm compresses to relieve tension in the surrounding muscles.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Dongjedang examines the patient's daily posture and sleeping environment alongside treatment. This is because no matter how well the procedure is performed, the joint will become unstable again if unbalanced habits persist.
