SIJ: Pregnant teen with low back pain likely has sacroiliac joint subluxation on a background of Joint Hypermobility Syndrome and secretion of hormone relaxin (elevated during pregnancy) arousing additional ligament laxity. She needs Obstetrician's opinion, possibly an SIJ belt, and perhaps an Osteopathic opinion. See Brighton Criteria and Boa.com.
