FAQs

Sitting with SI joint pain can be challenging, as prolonged sitting can exacerbate the symptoms. However, there are several strategies you can implement to help alleviate discomfort and provide support to your Si joint. They include a selection of ergonomic chairs, appropriate postures while using a cushion or pillow when sitting. If the posture friendly chair is not available, use stability balls and avoid crossing legs while sitting. Take sufficient breaks between prolonged sitting episodes. The chair height must be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, armrests can also be used to support the upper body and reduce stress. Excess weight can put additional stress on the SI joint. Dr. Z suggests that maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise can help alleviate pressure on the joint and reduce pain.
