What is a Sacroiliac Joint Injection?

A sacroiliac joint injection involves injecting a corticosteroid medication with local anesthetic into the sacroiliac joint to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. This injection improves the quality of life for individuals suffering from low back pain.

What Happens During a Sacroiliac Joint Injection Procedure?

During a sacroiliac joint injection procedure, the doctor cleans and injects a numbing medication on the skin around the joint. Using fluoroscopy, the doctor guides a thin needle into the sacroiliac joint and injects a mixture of local anesthetic and corticosteroid. Afterward, the patient is monitored for a short period to check for any adverse reactions.
