Sacroiliac Joint Injections
What Are Sacroiliac Joint Injections?
Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) injections are used to diagnose and treat pain in the lower back, buttocks, or pelvis caused by inflammation or dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint. These joints connect your spine to your pelvis and can become painful from arthritis, injury, or strain.
Precise Pain Relief with CT Guidance
We use CT imaging to guide the needle directly into the sacroiliac joint. This ensures accurate placement of the steroid and anaesthetic, improving pain relief and reducing the risk of complications.
Comfortable, Low-Dose Procedure
The procedure is done using local anaesthetic. We use low-dose CT protocols to minimise radiation while keeping you comfortable throughout the process. Most patients are in and out within an hour.
Dual Purpose: Diagnosis & Relief
SIJ injections can confirm whether your pain is coming from the sacroiliac joint. They may also provide pain relief that lasts from days to several months, depending on the cause of the problem.
