Learn more about the sacroiliac joint at http://si-bone.com. The current standard is that SI joint injection should be performed under fluoroscopic guidance, utilizing contrast to confirm needle placement, injecting no more than 2 ccs. of solution whether it’s a diagnostic and/or a therapeutic injection. The percent pain reduction that we’re looking for after a diagnostic sacroiliac joint pain injection under fluoroscopy is performed is greater than or equal to a 75% pain reduction when comparing pre-procedure and post-procedure visual analog pain scores within 15 to 30 minutes. We use the provocative maneuvers or simple functional activities like sitting, standing and…
The last segment of the spine is the sacrum. The sacrum attaches to the large pelvic bones known as the ilium. The joints that connect the sacrum to the ilium are called the sacroiliac joints or “SI joints.” The integrity of the SI joint depends on strong ligaments that encase and cover the joint. These ligaments compress and stabilize the joint. SI Joint pain can develop when these ligaments become damaged or degenerate due to age, allowing the joint to have excessive motion. This excessive motion may inflame and disrupt the joint and surrounding nerves. Pain commonly presents in the…

The SI Joint is the connection between the spine and the pelvis. The SI Joint is a true diarthrodial joint. The articular surfaces are ear shaped, containing irregular ridges and depressions. Its concave sacral surface is covered with thick hyaline cartilage and its convex iliac surface lined with thin fibrocartilage. Biomechanically, the SI Joint’s movement is induced by motion occurring at other locations in the body. This movement is very small, with less than 4 degrees of rotation…
