Sacroiliac Joint Injections

What Are Sacroiliac Joint Injections?

Sacroiliac joint injections involve the administration of a combination of anesthetic and corticosteroid medication directly into the sacroiliac joint. This joint connects the lower spine to the pelvis, and inflammation or irritation in this area can lead to chronic pain. The injection aims to reduce inflammation and block pain signals, providing relief for several weeks to months.

How Do Sacroiliac Joint Injections Work?

During the procedure, a specialized needle is carefully guided into the sacroiliac joint using imaging techniques, such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound, to ensure precise placement. The anesthetic provides immediate pain relief, while the corticosteroid works to reduce inflammation over time. The entire procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes and can be performed in an outpatient setting.

Sacroiliac joint injections are commonly used to treat:

• Chronic lower back pain
• Pain in the hips or buttocks
• Pain radiating down the legs
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

While the effects of the injection can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months, your doctor may recommend additional treatments or therapies to maintain pain relief.
