Sacroiliitis Disease and Disability Benefits

In this article we will unpack the definition of Sacroiliitis, as well as discover what (if any) disability benefits you may be entitled due to this disease. There are many common disabilities that have the capacity to change the quality of life you exeperience, as well as alter (however big or small) your daily routine as you know it.

Sacroiliitis, by definition, is an inflammation of either one or both of your sacroiliac joints that connect your lower spine to your pelvis. This is caused when your sacroilic joint between the base of your spine (sacrum) and your pelvic bone (ilium) becomes inflamed or infected. Sacroiliitis is a rheumatic disease, meaning that it involves pain and inflammation in your joints or muscles. The slightest movements can cause severe discomfort, even intense pain. There is also what is known as Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and its origin is in the disruption of the normal movement of your joint, such as the elbow and knee. However, it is important to note that there are many other points of inflammation that are not limited to your joints and extend to other organs, such as:

lungs
kidneys
blood vessels
heart
skin
eyes
nervous system

Let's focus now on what can be the cause of this common disability. There are actually several different causes of Sacroiliitis, and we will look a bit closer at those below:

Spondyloarthropathies: arthritis that is associated with psoriasis and others
Pregnancy: can cause the pelvis to stretch to enable childbirth
Heavy Lifting: improper lifting or preparing the muscles
Infection: caused by bacteria in your food
Osteoarthritis: of your spine

There are also many affects you could suffer from that would potentially include any of the following:
