Risk Factors

• A history of bone, joint or skin infections. Some people are more prone to infections, and an infection is one possible cause of sacroiliitis.
• Injury or trauma to your spine, pelvis or buttocks. Torn ligaments or trauma may create inflammation or infection of the sacroiliac joints.
• Urinary tract infection. This infection may spread from your urinary tract, which includes your kidneys, bladder and urethra, to your sacroiliac joints.
• Pregnancy. The pelvic bone's expansion to prepare for childbirth may inflame the area around your sacroiliac joints.
• Endocarditis. This infection of your heart's inner lining may spread to your sacroiliac joints.
