Sacroiliac (SI) Pain

About Sacroiliac (SI) Pain

Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain is a condition that affects the sacroiliac joints located in the lower back and pelvis. Individuals with SI joint pain may experience symptoms such as lower back pain, buttock pain, hip pain, and even pain that radiates down the legs. This discomfort can make it challenging for patients to engage in daily activities, walk, stand, or sit for extended periods. Common causes of SI joint pain include arthritis, injury, pregnancy, or degeneration of the SI joint. Risk factors for developing SI joint pain include age, trauma to the area, and certain repetitive activities that strain the joint.

Treatment Options for Sacroiliac (SI) Pain

At Gateway Pain, patients with SI joint pain have access to a range of treatment options tailored to their specific needs. These options may include physical therapy to strengthen the muscles supporting the SI joint, improve stability, and enhance flexibility. In addition to physical therapy, patients may benefit from injections such as corticosteroids or platelet-rich plasma injections to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in the SI joint. For individuals with severe or persistent SI joint pain that does not respond to conservative treatments, surgical interventions like SI joint fusion may be considered to stabilize the joint and provide long-term pain relief. Dr. Ranson’s expertise in interventional pain medicine allows for a comprehensive approach to managing SI joint pain and improving patients’ quality of life.
