Over 80% of the population is likely to suffer from low back pain at some point in their lives. A majority of these cases can be attributed to two main causes: general factors such as muscle strain, injury and overuse; and specific spine conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease (DDD), spondylolisthesis or spinal stenosis. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) was once thought to be a less common cause for lower back pain. However, recent studies have shown that SIJD may be responsible for up to 25% of lower back pain. The sacroiliac (SI) joint is within the pelvis, between the sacrum and ilium, and is held together by strong ligaments. The SI joint is a strong, weight-bearing synovial joint with unique elevations that form an interlocking interface. Humans have two SI joints, one on either side of the sacrum. A primary function of the SI joint is shock absorption for the spine, as well as torque conversion, allowing transverse rotations in the lower extremities to be transferred up the spine.
Research findings included details on market sizing and trends, procedural data and competitive landscape, among other things. The research methodology and data collection for the analysis involved a multi-faceted approach which included: primary research, secondary research, utilization of iData's proprietary in-house procedural database and an end-user physician online survey.
