Joint dysfunction occurs when a joint becomes stiff, and its full range of motion is restricted. This can result from injuries, poor posture, repetitive or insufficient use of a joint, muscle imbalances, and other factors. Similar to arthritis, joint dysfunction can cause localized pain in the affected joint and surrounding muscles. Over time, it may also lead to issues in other areas of the body as the body compensates for limited movement.
A common example is sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, which affects the area where the base of the spine meets the pelvis. This condition can cause lower back pain and restricted mobility and is frequently misdiagnosed because its symptoms resemble sciatica or a herniated disc.
