Arthritis refers to a group of more than 100 conditions that affect the joints, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. The most common types include:

• Osteoarthritis (OA): The most prevalent form, OA occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time, leading to pain and inflammation.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the lining of the joints, causing swelling, pain, and potential joint deformities.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis: A type of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, leading to pain and stiffness in the back.

Common symptoms of sacroiliac joint pain may include:

• Localized Pain: Discomfort in the lower back, buttocks, or hips, often on one side.
• Radiating Pain: Pain that may travel down the leg, mimicking sciatica.
• Stiffness: Reduced range of motion in the lower back and hips.
• Worsening Pain with Certain Movements: Pain that increases with prolonged sitting, standing, or activities such as climbing stairs.
