Sacroiliac Joint Injection
Dr. Miller offers a highly effective treatment for patients experiencing chronic lower back or pelvic pain caused by dysfunction in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. The Sacroiliac Joint Injection is a minimally invasive procedure designed to provide pain relief and reduce inflammation in the SI joint, which connects the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) to the pelvis.
What Is a Sacroiliac Joint Injection?
A Sacroiliac Joint Injection involves the precise injection of a local anesthetic and/or corticosteroid medication directly into the sacroiliac joint. This procedure is used to alleviate pain caused by inflammation or irritation in the SI joint, which can lead to lower back, buttock, and leg pain. The injection not only helps reduce inflammation but also offers diagnostic information about the source of pain.
Why Choose a Sacroiliac Joint Injection?
-
Targeted Pain Relief: The injection delivers medication directly to the inflamed SI joint, providing targeted relief from chronic pain.
-
Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed with a small needle, requiring no incisions or long recovery time.
-
Quick Procedure: The injection is typically performed in a short time frame, often within 30 minutes.
-
Dual Benefits: It provides immediate pain relief while also helping to diagnose the exact source of pain.
-
Non-Surgical Solution: This procedure offers a non-invasive alternative to surgery for SI joint-related pain.
