Non-Surgical Relief For Sacroiliac Joint Conditions

Avoid SI Joint Surgery with the Regenexx Approach

The sacroiliac joint connects the base of the spine to the pelvis and plays a key role in shock absorption during movement. When this joint becomes unstable or inflamed, due to injury, overuse, pregnancy, or degenerative changes, it can lead to localized or referred pain that interferes with walking, sitting, or even sleeping.

Common SI Joint-Related Concerns May Include:

• SI joint instability or lax ligaments
• Pain after pregnancy or childbirth
• Referred discomfort from surrounding pelvic structures
• Degeneration of the SI joint
• Inflammation caused by injury or overuse
• Discomfort following lumbar fusion (due to adjacent joint stress)

Conventional treatments for SI joint dysfunction often include high-dose steroid injections or surgical joint fusion. While steroid injections may offer short-term relief, repeated use can affect surrounding tissue and the body’s natural repair response. SI joint fusion, an invasive procedure, removes the joint’s ability to absorb shock and may shift mechanical stress to adjacent joints. One study has shown that approximately 16.5% of patients who undergo lower back fusion require additional surgery within five years, and one-third need revision procedures within a decade. Another study found that 55% of patients continued to use narcotics two years after undergoing surgical fusion.

During outpatient procedures using Regenexx injectates, physicians in the licensed Regenexx network use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents into the exact areas of damage around the SI joint to reduce pain and improve function. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery, with little to no need for opioid pain medications or time off work.
