Sacroiliac Joint Injections
Non-Surgical Solutions for Pelvic Pain
The bottom of your spine is connected to your pelvis at the sacroiliac joint. This joint helps distribute weight between your upper body and legs. When a condition like arthritis or a traumatic injury causes damage to the cartilage in this joint, you may feel a lot of pain in your pelvis.
Treatments for sacroiliac pain may include medication or physical therapy. However, some people require more for successful treatment. In these cases, sacroiliac joint injections may be the best treatment option.
To learn more about these injections, contact iRISE Spine and Joint today. We are here to help you manage your pain as completely and safely as possible.
What Are Sacroiliac Joint Injections?
Sacroiliac joint injections help people with back pain in two different ways:
- They reduce pain: Besides helping you feel better, reducing pain is beneficial for diagnosing the cause of the pain itself. If you’re still experiencing pain after the recovery period following your sacroiliac joint injection, your pain is related to something besides epidural shrinking.
- They reduce inflammation: The injections include corticosteroids, which are released at a controlled rate over time to reduce and prevent inflammation.
Are Sacroiliac Joint Injections Safe?
Generally, sacroiliac joint injections are considered safe. They do not involve the use of incisions, which lowers the chances of infection or blood loss. However, as with any procedure, there is a small possibility of certain complications.
Although rare, complications during sacroiliac joint injections may include:
- Infection
- Allergic reaction
- Blood loss
- Nerve damage
What Is Recovery Like?
You may notice some soreness around the area where the needle was inserted after the procedure. Most people notice an immediate improvement in their condition after a sacroiliac joint injection.
You should avoid driving for the rest of the day after the injection. Have a friend or family member assist you or talk to one of our staff members at iRISE Spine and Joint about ride assistance.
If you are suffering from pain and limited mobility due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction, SI joint fusion may be a good answer. Call us at (888) 966-9750 to learn more.
