An SI joint injection is performed to relieve pain caused by arthritis in the sacroiliac joint, the area where the spine and hip bone meet. The injection delivers steroid medication into the joint to reduce swelling and inflammation. This can ease discomfort and improve movement for patients dealing with sacroiliac pain. (Learn more about recovery through Physical Therapy.)
Your doctor may recommend an SI joint injection if arthritis in the sacroiliac joint is causing persistent pain. The injection reduces inflammation, helping to relieve pressure and stiffness where the spine and hip connect. It offers a nonsurgical option to help manage arthritis symptoms effectively before moving to other treatments. (See related care in Pain Management.)
An SI joint injection typically contains a steroid medication. This medication reduces swelling and inflammation inside the sacroiliac joint, where arthritis often causes pain. By calming irritation in the joint, the injection provides temporary pain relief and supports improved mobility for daily activities. (Learn about other minimally invasive options like PRP Therapy.)
This injection targets pain caused by arthritis in the sacroiliac joint. When inflamed, the joint can make standing, sitting, or moving painful. By reducing inflammation, the injection helps relieve joint-related discomfort and allows patients to function more comfortably. (See additional treatment information in Orthopedics.)
Arthritis in the sacroiliac joint leads to inflammation, stiffness, and pain. An SI joint injection delivers steroid medication directly into the joint to reduce swelling. This provides short-term relief, helping patients manage pain, improve mobility, and return to daily activities with less discomfort. (Explore similar care options under Injury Care.)
No. Relief from an SI joint injection is temporary. Its purpose is to decrease inflammation in the sacroiliac joint and improve mobility for a period of time. While it does not cure arthritis, it is an effective treatment to reduce symptoms and support better quality of life. (Learn about other supportive options like Cervical Joint Injection.)
