Sacroiliac joint injection

A sacroiliac joint injection serves several purposes. First, by placing numbing medicine into the joint, the amount of immediate pain relief experienced will help confirm or deny the joint as a source of pain.

Additionally, the temporary relief of the numbing medicine may better allow a chiropractor or physical therapist to treat that joint. Also, an addition of a small dose of steroids will help to reduce any inflammation that may exist within the joint bringing prolonged relief of your symptoms
