Sacroiliac Joint Injection
Sacroiliac joint injection is a minimally invasive interventional pain management procedure used to diagnose and treat pain originating from the sacroiliac joint, which is located in the lower back where the spine meets the pelvis.
During the procedure, a local anaesthetic and a corticosteroid medication are injected into the sacroiliac joint under the guidance of advanced imaging techniques to ensure accurate placement of the medication. The injection can help to reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by conditions such as sacroiliac joint dysfunction, sacroiliitis, or arthritis.
Sacroiliac joint injections are typically performed in a Day Surgery Unit and take less than an hour to complete, it is considered safe and effective for relieving pain caused by sacroiliac joint conditions.
Your Pain Specialist can discuss the benefits and risks of this procedure with you and help determine if it is an appropriate treatment option for your specific condition.
