sacroiliac joints, pubic symphysis
Explanation:
I think they are talking about two different terms:

http://www.prolonews.com/hip_groin_pain_prolotherapy.htm

Only once has a patient said that a physician had examined the pubic symphysis. The pubic symphysis is the front joint of the pelvic bone. The back joint of the pelvic bone is the sacroiliac joint. If the sacroiliac joint is lax, there is a good chance that the pubic symphysis will also be lax. Regarding the treatment of chronic pain with Prolotherapy, it is advisable to treat both sides of a joint to ensure its strength. Someone suffering from low back pain should not only have the sacroiliac joints examined, but the pubic symphysis as well. Likewise, patients with groin pain should have the sacroiliac joints palpated. Sacroiliac ligament laxity can also refer pain to the groin.

sacroiliac (joint) and pubic symphysis

I think the Spanish syntax is a little mixed up. As I understand it, there is a pubic symphysis area and a sacroiliac one:

I was working on my answer when Maria posted hers. I meant to say 'and a sacriliac joint', not 'symphysis'.
