Addressing Sacroiliac Dysfunction Without Surgery
The sacroiliac joint serves as the connection point between the spine and the pelvis. This structure handles the transfer of forces between the upper and lower body. Discomfort often arises when this area becomes unstable due to injury or ligament laxity. Patients might experience lower back issues or difficulty sitting for long periods due to inflammation or degenerative changes. Common contributing factors often include post-traumatic injury and pregnancy-related stress or referred sensation from nearby pelvic structures. Some patients also experience discomfort following previous lumbar surgeries due to stress transfer.
Typical management plans often involve high-dose steroid injections or surgical fusion. Steroids may provide temporary relief but may affect tissue health over time. SI joint fusion connects the joint permanently but changes the joint’s mechanics. This mechanical change sometimes transfers stress to the lumbar spine or hips. Some clinical research suggests that roughly seventeen percent of spinal fusion patients needed additional surgery within five years. Other findings indicate that over half of patients continued narcotic use two years post-surgery.
Physicians in the licensed Regenexx network at Pain Doctors Medical at 13th Street in Newark offer image-guided orthobiologic procedures to address sacroiliac dysfunction. This approach utilizes customized concentrations of the individual’s own platelets or bone marrow-derived cells to treat specific areas of damage. This process may help support the body’s natural repair process and typically involves less recovery time than surgical options.
