5. Diagnosis of Sacroiliitis

Physical examination is important for diagnosing sacroiliitis. A healthcare provider will apply direct pressure to the sacroiliac joint and see if it causes pain. They may also move your legs in various directions to see if these movements cause pain in the sacroiliac joints. They may recommend x-rays or more advanced imaging, like MRI, to look for damage to the sacroiliac joints.
