What does a Sacroiliac Joint Injection entail?
A sacroiliac joint injection involves injecting local anesthetic and a steroid medication into the sacroiliac joint to reduce inflammation and swelling of nerves. This procedure can provide temporary pain relief that lasts several hours and longer lasting pain relief usually begins after 24-48 hours. It may be recommended for those experiencing low back or buttock pain, pain after a work injury, joint osteoarthritis, sacroiliitis, or persistent post-spine surgery pain.
