The complexity and variety of human health conditions can often lead us to overlook or underestimate some of the lesser-known ones.

By definition, segmental dysfunction refers to the irregularity in the spinal segment's motion, primarily affecting joints and ligaments. On the other hand, somatic dysfunction encapsulates any impaired or altered function in the body's related framework that includes skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial structures in addition to other related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements.

The sacral region, located in the lower part of the spine, often bears the brunt of these dysfunctions leading to a range of symptoms and conditions. If not appropriately managed, these can lead to chronic pain and significantly impact a person's quality of life.
