The Normal Sacral Spine 
 
The sacrum is made of 5 fused vertebrae upon which the spine rests. Nerves pass through the sacrum that form nerves that pass down the lower extremities as well as nerves that supply pelvic organs with nerve innervation. 

Sacroiliac joints are the junction of the sacrum with the pelvic bone called the ilium. Sprain and abnormal motion of these joints is capable of causing pelvic and buttock pain.
