Sacroiliac Injection
Sacroiliac Injection
A sacroiliac joint injection involves injecting medicine directly into the sacroiliac joint to diagnose or treat lower back pain arising from that area. It aims to numb the joint for diagnostic purposes or reduce inflammation and pain with steroid medication. The procedure is guided by X-rays to ensure accurate needle placement. Risks include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, and temporary side effects from steroids. Patients may experience immediate relief from numbing medicine and gradual pain reduction from steroids over several days.

How Sacroiliac Injection Works?
A sacroiliac joint injection involves administering numbing medicine and often steroids directly into the sacroiliac joint to alleviate lower back pain. The injection, guided by X-ray imaging, targets the joint where the spine connects to the pelvis. Numbing medicine provides immediate pain relief, while steroids reduce inflammation over several days. This dual approach helps diagnose the source of pain and provides therapeutic benefits. By numbing the joint and reducing inflammation, sacroiliac injections can offer effective relief for individuals suffering from sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
