If you are a Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeon, here are 7 Reasons to consider learning OptiLIF 2.0
Do you suffer from SI Joint Pain?
Learn about SI Joint Dysfunction and the latest treatment options.
The sacroiliac joints (SI) are the foundation of the spine and are located at the junctions of the sacrum and ilium on each side. These complex joints, composed of systems of ligaments and multiplanar joint surfaces, transmit the forces exerted through the spine from the upper body to the legs.
The SI joint is designed to absorb shock forces and is naturally constrained to only limited movement. Instability in the SI joint is a major pain generator in some patients. Although there have been many advances in surgical techniques to address instability problems in the lumbar spine, instability in the SI joint has remained relatively unaddressed, with most patients running out of options once conservative treatments have failed to offer continued relief from painful SI symptoms.
What is SI Joint Dysfunction?
Common causes of SI Joint Instability and Pain include prior injury or accident, arthritis, low back instability or prior low back surgery, ligamentous loosening due to pregnancy.
Common symptoms of pain involving the SI Joint include low back pain, pelvis/buttock pain, lower extremity pain, hip/groin pain, problems sitting, sleeping, or walking.
Causes and Symptoms of SI Joint Dysfunction
When it is suspected that some or all of the patient's symptoms could be attributed to SI joint instability, it is recommended to begin with conservative treatment options. Conservative treatment may include physical therapy, chiropractic manipulation, patient-specific exercise programs, or bracing.
Pain management evaluation and intervention may e the next step, including pain medications or therapeutic injections that may provide some patients temporary relief but often only work short term. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has also been used with some success, but similar to injections, it may only provide temporary relief.
SI Joint Stabilization should only be considered after non-surgical interventions have failed to provide a patient with an enduring solution to their pain. Stabilizing the SI join can provide enduring pain relief.
