Sacro-iliac (SI) Joint Injections

The Sacro-iliac Joint injection is an injection of medications into the SI joint where the pelvic bone meets the sacrum. The benefits of the SI Joint Injection include a reduction in pain and increase in mobility. While this injection may last for a variable duration, it is highly beneficial during periods of severe pain and can provide sufficient pain relief to allow patients to progress with their rehabilitation and mobilisation program. 

An SI joint block is performed in the radiology suite using either fluoroscopy or a CT scan.

This procedure is conducted on an out-patient basis and does not require hospitalisation. The medication used includes a type of cortisone and a local anaesthetic.
