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.
