Sacroiliac Joint Steroid Injection is both diagnostic procedure and treatment used to relieve low back and buttock pain. A local anesthetic and a corticosteroid are injected into one or both sacroiliac joints (they connect the spine to the hip bones) – or the surrounding ligaments – to reduce inflammation and swelling inside the joint space. This may help alleviate the pain associated with injury or disease to the sacroiliac joint, including sciatica symptoms.
What to Expect During the Diagnosis and Treatment Process of Spine and Pain Conditions
For most people, the decision to see an Interventional Pain Anesthesiologist for spine and pain conditions is full of hope. Some patients may be a little apprehensive after years of pain, but knowing what to expect can help alleviate fear and adjust expectations.
Our goal over the course of your treatment is to listen intently, pinpoint pain precisely, and then provide a targeted treatment plan for your pain.
