Sacroiliac Joint Injections

Sacroiliac (SI) joint injections are a targeted treatment designed to relieve pain and inflammation in the lower back and legs due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Even small movements in these joints can cause intense discomfort, making daily activities challenging. This injection not only helps confirm whether the SI joint is the source of pain but also provides significant relief, allowing you to regain comfort and mobility.

At Advanced Pain Consultants in Raleigh, Dr. Sonia Pasi performs this procedure with a focus on patient comfort and effective pain management.

How does the Procedure Work?

• Preparation and Numbing: The area around the SI joint is numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort.
• Injection of Medication: Using precise guidance, the doctor injects a combination of Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, or a corticosteroid directly into the SI joint. This mixture works to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

If pain relief is immediate, it confirms that the SI joint is the source of discomfort. The duration of relief can be days, weeks, or even months, particularly if physical therapy is also used.

If you’re struggling with lower back or leg pain, don’t wait to find relief. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Sonia Pasi at Advanced Pain Consultants in Raleigh by calling (919) 800-0850 today.
