The Sacro-Iliac Joints (SI Joint) connect the spine to the pelvis and can become painful because of arthritis, injury, pregnancy, or altered body mechanics. An SI Joint Injection places medication directly into the joint using fluoroscopic guidance to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. This minimally invasive procedure often improves pain during standing, walking, climbing stairs, and changing positions. Most patients are discharged the same day. Relief from the injection also helps confirm that the SI joints are the source of pain, allowing more definitive treatments such as Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation to be considered.
Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation is a type of RFA which produces bigger lesions. It gives great results for Sacro-Iliac Joint Arthropathy
