To determine whether you have a sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, it`s very important that you get the right diagnostic tests. Here are the most commonly accepted methods to diagnose SI joint dysfunction.

Pain from sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be felt anywhere in the lower back or spine, buttocks, pelvis, groin, or sometimes in the legs. Chronic SI joint pain symptoms can make it difficult to perform common daily tasks and can affect every aspect of a patient`s life.

To determine whether you have a sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, it`s very important that you get the right diagnostic tests. Here are the most commonly accepted methods to diagnose SI joint dysfunction.

For most of the 20th century, doctors were not focused on the SI joint as a source of chronic lower back pain, so misdiagnosis was – and can still be – common. Know what to share with your doctor and choose a doctor trained in SI joint pain diagnosis and treatment to avoid misdiagnosis.

Trauma and degeneration are the two main causes of SI joint dysfunction and pain. Read on to learn more about potential SI joint pain causes.

Several options are available to address SI joint dysfunction, starting with conservative therapies that may be performed repetitively. Some people respond well to physical therapy and exercises. Others may benefit from treatments like therapeutic SI joint injections, and SI joint fusion.

When is traditional “open” surgery the best option for SI joint pain relief? What`s the difference between open SI joint surgery and minimally invasive surgery (MIS)?

Minimally invasive surgical fusion of the SI joint is becoming a covered benefit by more insurance companies every year. The best way to find out is to call your insurance company and ask if they provide a Positive Coverage Policy for sacroiliac joint fusion surgery with the iFuse Implant System.
