Sacroiliac Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid)

Relieve lower back and hip pain with sacroiliac joint injections featuring steroid, PRP, or hyaluronic acid at CDL Rehabilitation.

What Sacroiliac Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Are

Sacroiliac joint injections are a treatment used to alleviate pain and inflammation in the sacroiliac joint (where the spine meets the pelvis) using steroids, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or hyaluronic acid.

Treatment Description

This procedure involves injecting medications directly into the sacroiliac joint to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve joint mobility. It is commonly used for chronic low back pain and pelvic pain.

What It Includes

The treatment includes the injection of corticosteroids, PRP, or hyaluronic acid into the sacroiliac joint under imaging guidance, typically fluoroscopy, to ensure precise placement. Sessions usually last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Sacroiliac Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Used For?

Sacroiliac joint injections are effective for treating conditions like sacroiliac joint dysfunction, chronic lower back pain, hip pain, sciatica, pelvic girdle pain, and inflammation in the sacroiliac joint.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Relieves pain caused by inflammation or dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint, which connects the spine to the pelvis.
Chronic Lower Back Pain
Provides pain relief in the lower back by targeting the sacroiliac joint, which can be a source of pain due to misalignment or inflammation.
Sciatica
Alleviates sciatica pain by reducing inflammation in the sacroiliac joint and improving nerve function in the lower back and hips.
Arthritis
Eases pain and improves function in cases of sacroiliac joint arthritis by reducing joint inflammation with steroid or regenerative injections.
Post-Surgical Pain
Reduces discomfort and inflammation in the sacroiliac joint following back or pelvic surgery, promoting recovery and improving mobility.
Pelvic Girdle Pain
Relieves pelvic girdle pain caused by sacroiliac joint dysfunction, which can affect walking and normal movement.
Pregnancy-related Pain
Helps alleviate pain in the sacroiliac joint caused by pregnancy-related changes in posture and joint instability.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Lower Back and Hip Pain
Without sacroiliac joint injections, pain in the lower back and hips caused by joint inflammation or dysfunction may persist.
Reduced Mobility
Untreated sacroiliac joint issues can lead to stiffness and difficulty with daily movements, such as walking, bending, or sitting for extended periods.
Increased Inflammation
Lack of treatment may result in worsening inflammation, further exacerbating discomfort and limiting functionality.
Postural Imbalance
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction can cause compensatory postural changes, leading to additional strain on the spine and lower extremities.
Progression to Chronic Joint Damage
Delayed intervention can lead to long-term joint degeneration or chronic pain, requiring more invasive treatments in the future.
