One reason why back pain is so common is that it can have a number of different causes. And sometimes, lower back pain actually stems from your sacroiliac (SI) joint, the point at which your spine attaches to your pelvis. An SI joint injection from Hands of Hope can help determine if your SI joint is the source of your pain–and provide much-needed relief.

What Can Cause SI Joint Pain?
There are several reasons why you might experience pain in your SI joint, including the following:
- Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: This is the term for SI-joint-related pain that develops due to a mechanical issue (i.e., improper movement or a misalignment of the joint itself). It usually manifests as lower back pain.
- Sacroiliitis: We use this term for any SI joint pain that stems from inflammation in the SI joint. It can develop due to osteoarthritis, pregnancy, or trauma to the area.
- Pregnancy: Many women report lower back pain, and that pain often stems from problems with the SI joint. The joints in the pelvis loosen in preparation for childbirth, and that hypermobility can cause issues with the SI joint.
- Ankylosing Spondylitis: This is a particular type of arthritis that affects the spine, and it usually develops in the SI joint, leading to pain, inflammation, and restricted mobility.
What To Expect During the Procedure
An SI joint injection is a relatively simple procedure, and you’ll be able to go home the same day. During the appointment, we’ll help you get comfortable as you lay face down on an examining table, giving us access to your SI Joint.
We’ll numb the insertion point and use an X-ray to guide the injection into your joint, ensuring accuracy. There may be slight discomfort during the injection, but it should only last a few seconds.
We’ll generally keep you at the clinic for about half an hour to ensure a good recovery. Our physicians will also provide personalized information about any activity restriction after the shot, as it can cause slight soreness or weakness in your back and leg. We generally recommend you have someone drive you home afterward.Find relief from SI joint pain at Hands of Hope.
