Sacroiliac Joint Steroid Injections — Naples, FL

Sacroiliac (SI) joint injections deliver corticosteroid and anesthetic medication into the SI joint to diagnose and treat pain originating from this commonly affected joint.

About This Procedure

The sacroiliac joints connect the sacrum (base of the spine) to the iliac bones of the pelvis. SI joint dysfunction is a common cause of lower back, buttock, and leg pain.

Under fluoroscopic guidance, medication is injected directly into the joint to reduce inflammation and pain.

The injection serves both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes — pain relief confirms the SI joint as the source of symptoms.

Benefits

• Targeted relief for SI joint-related pain
• Both diagnostic and therapeutic
• Effective for post-pregnancy and degenerative SI pain
• Quick outpatient procedure

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes SI joint dysfunction?

Common causes include arthritis, pregnancy, prior spinal surgery, leg length discrepancy, and trauma. It can also develop from repetitive stress activities.

How long does the relief last?

Relief duration varies. Some patients experience weeks to months of benefit. If effective, repeat injections or radiofrequency treatment may be considered.

Are there activity restrictions after the injection?

Rest on the day of the procedure and avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours. Most patients resume normal activities quickly.
