Understanding Sacroiliac Joint Pain
The SI joint plays a vital role in supporting your body’s weight and enabling movement. However, when this joint becomes a source of chronic pain, daily life can feel like a constant struggle.
Symptoms often mimic other causes of lower back pain, which can delay an accurate diagnosis. This complexity underscores the importance of choosing a pain management center experienced in treating sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Conventional Treatments for SI Joint Pain
For many patients, physical therapy, targeted exercise, medications, injections and other conservative approaches provide relief. These pain management treatments aim to reduce inflammation and restore mobility. However, when chronic pain persists despite these methods, it may be time to explore more advanced options.
What is Posterior SI Joint Fusion (PsiF)?
Posterior SI joint fusion (PsiF) is a minimally invasive solution for sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This outpatient procedure provides long-term stability and relief without the extensive recovery associated with traditional SI joint fusion surgery.
Here’s how it works:
- A small incision is made to allow for precise access to the SI joint.
- An allograft spacer and demineralized bony matrix are inserted to stabilize the joint.
- Over time, the joint fuses as a bony bridge forms, eliminating pain caused by instability.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
The PsiF procedure is straightforward and designed with your comfort in mind. During the treatment, you’ll be under monitored anesthesia while our team performs the fusion with precision.
Recovery times vary, but most patients notice improvements in stability and pain reduction within weeks. Follow-up appointments ensure your progress is on track, and our specialists remain available to support you throughout your healing journey.
