Sacroiliac Joint Injections

Joint Pain Diagnostic in Downtown Brooklyn & Lower Manhattan

Sacroiliac joint (SI joint) pain arises from degenerative changes within the SI joint.

The sacroiliac joint injections may be used to diagnose and treat certain types of back pain. These degenerative changes within the sacroiliac joint may cause inflammation.

SI joint injections may also be used as a diagnostic evaluation. If the pain decreases significantly after the injection, this helps to verify the joint as a source of pain. Injections may provide temporary pain relief or the pain may remain reduced for a long period of time.

During Sacroiliac Joint Injections

• You will be lying on a table in a procedure room.
• The skin in the area where the joint injection will be made will be cleaned.
• A local anesthetic will be used to numb the area of the injection.
• Fluoroscopy, a method used to make images, will be used as the physician passes the needle into the SI joint.
• A mixture of anesthetic and a steroid (similar to cortisone) is injected into the SI joint(s).
• The joint injection procedure will take about 30 minutes.
