Sacroiliac Joint Injection Q&A
What is a sacroiliac joint injection?
The sacroiliac joints are in the lower part of your spine. They’re fused to your hip bones by ligaments. Sacroiliac joint injections can help reduce inflammation in these joints and alleviate any associated discomfort. They contain steroid medications and a local anesthetic that provide long-lasting relief. Your provider determines if these injections are a match for you.
Which symptoms can sacroiliac joint injections help treat?
Sacroiliac joint injections at Comprehensive Pain Management Partners can help treat the following:
- Low back pain
- Groin discomfort
- Buttocks pain
- Leg pain
- Nerve pain
The discomfort you feel may stem from nerve inflammation, irritation, or swelling in the sacroiliac joints.
Am I a candidate for sacroiliac joint injections?
The experts at Comprehensive Pain Management Partners complete a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you’re a candidate for sacroiliac joint injections or other pain-reducing procedures.
They review your medical history and symptoms, complete a physical exam, and may order nerve testing, blood tests, imaging procedures, or other diagnostic tests.
If conservative pain-reducing treatments haven’t worked and the discomfort is negatively affecting your quality of life, see the experts at Comprehensive Pain Management Partners.
What can I expect during sacroiliac joint injections?
Before receiving sacroiliac joint injections, you’ll change into a hospital gown. If you choose sedation, you receive intravenous (IV) medication to help you feel more relaxed. Your provider cleans the injection site and uses a local anesthetic to numb the area, optimizing comfort.
With the help of X-ray guidance to determine the precise location for the injection, your specialist inserts a needle into the sacroiliac joint to inject pain-reducing medication.
What happens after sacroiliac joint injections?
After a sacroiliac joint injection, you can rest in a recovery area for a short time. Have a family member or friend drive you home when necessary.
Temporary side effects may include soreness or redness at the injection site. The pain relief associated with the joint injections may appear within 3-7 days, sometimes longer. It could last for several months. You might be a candidate for additional joint injections.
