Sacroiliac Joint Injection (Pain Management Procedure)

Headed by Dr. Hemaxi Ambani

WHAT IS SACROILIAC JOINT INJECTION ?

A sacroiliac joint injection is a procedure used to diagnose or treat lower back pain originating from the sacroiliac joint, where the spine connects to the pelvis. During the procedure, medication is injected directly into the joint to alleviate pain.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING SACROILIAC JOINT INJECTION

During the procedure:

  • You lie face down on an X-ray table, possibly receiving sedation.
  • The skin around the lower back and buttocks is cleaned and numbed.
  • The doctor guides a needle into the sacroiliac joint using X-rays, injecting contrast dye to confirm correct needle placement.
  • Medication, including a local anesthetic to block pain and a steroid to reduce inflammation, is injected into the joint. You may feel some discomfort during the injection, which typically lasts a few seconds.
  • The needle is removed, and a bandage is applied.

    • WHAT HAPPENS AFTER SACROILIAC JOINT INJECTION

    You'll be monitored for about half an hour before someone can drive you home. Follow any activity restrictions provided by your doctor, and inquire about using heat or ice in the injection area. You may experience soreness or slight weakness in your leg for a few hours. Pain relief from the numbing medicine may occur initially, followed by increased pain as it wears off. The steroid's effects may take up to 7 days to be noticeable, initially causing pain relief before potentially increasing pain for a few days.

    Keep track of your pain in a diary as directed by your doctor, and contact them if you experience severe pain, prolonged leg weakness, fever, signs of infection, or other concerning symptoms.
