Sacroiliac Medical Expert Group (SIMEG) e.V.

SIMEG was founded by spinal surgeons, seeking answers for unsolved cases of low back pain. We are convinced, that sacroiliac joint dysfunction needs scientifically orientated surgeons and non-surgeons to develop an educational program to find and teach the right diagnosis and treatment - unbiased.

The sacroiliac joint has been neglected as a cause of severe low back pain since years. As always in history once a new orthopedic surgical playground has been detected, economical desires grow faster than the scientific knowledge. Whereas back in the 1980s spinal surgery was performed only by a few dedicated and experienced pioneer surgeons, several major societies today - after almost 40 years - are still opening new barrels of unanswered questions. Questions of pain generators, of diagnosis, of RCT designs and many more.
