Say Goodbye to Back Pain: A Closer Look at SI Joint Fusion Treatment

Tired of dealing with persistent back pain or that burning sensation in the pelvic area? It's time to bid farewell to unnecessary aches and welcome a life of pain-free living. 

At the Chicago Institute of Neuropathic Pain, interventional pain specialist, Dr.Micheal Rock, provides the best sacroiliac joint fusion treatment for this ailment. Let’s delve into this blog and learn more about our innovative approach.

Understanding Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, alternatively referred to as SI joint dysfunction, occurs when there’s an abnormal movement in the sacroiliac joint. This joint connects the sacrum to the pelvis and works as an essential component for both shock absorption and transferring the load of the upper body to the lower body. 

Dr. Rock delivers personalized Sacrix SI Joint Fusion Treatment for every patient, as we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all conditions. So whether you are experiencing pelvic discomfort or severe back pain, we are here to help you find the relief that you deserve.

Symptoms 

The following symptoms identify sacroiliac joint dysfunction:

  • Lower back pain: Pain is usually felt on one side of the lower back and may radiate to the buttocks and thighs.

  • Leg pain: Pain that radiates down the leg, often resembling sciatica.

  • Stiffness: Experiencing stiffness in the lower back and pelvis is a common symptom. 

  • Numbness or tingling: In some cases, numbness or tingling sensations may be present in the legs.

  • Hip pain: Pain may also be experienced in the hip and groin areas.

Our Treatment Approach 

At the Chicago Institute of Neuropathic Pain, experienced satisfactory results with Dr. Rock. We employ an advanced approach to diagnose sacroiliac joint pain, consisting of three major stages:

  • Pre-treatment: We conduct a brief review of the patient’s medical history, imaging tests like MRI and X-rays, and physical examination to ensure the effectiveness of treatment.

  • During treatment: The treatment is done under anaesthesia so that it can be completed appropriately. 

  • After treatment: Recovery depends on one’s healing ability, physique, and underlying medical conditions. However, most patients have reported resuming daily activities soon after treatment.

Benefits

  • Long-lasting Pain Relief: One of the significant benefits of the Sacrix SI joint Fusion Treatment is that it provides lasting relief from severe back pain. In addition to alleviating back pain, it relieves other related symptoms such as numbness, stiffness, and burning sensations in the pelvis area.

  • Improved Energy Levels: Chronic lumbar pain can severely impact an individual's ability to perform even the simplest of tasks, causing significant pain and stiffness. However,  our pain management doctor effectively addresses this pain, enabling you to easily perform daily activities. This treatment is crucial, as low back pain can make even the most basic tasks, like tying your shoes, a major challenge.

  • Enhanced Quality of Life: Dealing with back pain or the associated symptoms can have a significant impact on your daily life, from disrupting your sleep to making it difficult to complete everyday tasks. This pain can prevent you from living your life to the fullest. However, undergoing this treatment can lead to a drastic improvement in the quality of your life.

  • Minimally-Invasive Pain Management Treatment: SI joint fusion treatment offers a minimally invasive approach to pain management, providing relief without the need for major surgery. This treatment helps to reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up the recovery process, ultimately leading to an enhancement in the overall quality of life for patients.

  • Reduced Reliance on Pain Medications: When you opt for this treatment, you won't have to depend on pain relief medication anymore. This treatment works by stabilizing the sacroiliac joint and effectively reducing pain. By choosing this treatment, you can improve your quality of life and reduce your reliance on medication and its associated side effects
