Sacroiliac Joint Injection

An SI joint injection involves administering a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid directly into the sacroiliac joint. This procedure serves two primary purposes:

• Diagnostic: To confirm the SI joint as the source of pain.

• Therapeutic: To reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.

The injection is typically guided by imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy to ensure accurate placement.

• Lower back pain stemming from sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
• Inflammation due to sacroiliitis.
• Pain radiating to the buttocks, groin, or thighs.
• Discomfort associated with conditions like ankylosing spondylitis.

• Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant reduction in pain, which can last for several months.
• Improved Mobility: Decreased pain can lead to enhanced movement and quality of life.
• Diagnostic Clarity: Helps in pinpointing the exact source of lower back pain.
