SI Joint Pain Treatment
Your Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain Treatment Options
If you have been diagnosed with SI joint dysfunction, which can lead to one or both of the SI joints becoming painful, your doctor may first consider nonsurgical treatments, such as medications, physical therapy, or steroid injections. If those non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief, ask your doctor about minimally invasive SI joint fusion.

The "Triangle": A Minimally Invasive Surgical Option
The iFuse Implant System was developed as a minimally invasive surgical option for patients who have failed non-surgical options. The iFuse triangle-shaped implant, available since 2009, is clinically proven to reduce pain and improve function and quality of life.
Why Choose an SI Joint-Trained Provider?
Ask your doctor if he or she is specifically trained in diagnosing and treating SI joint problems. If not, consider finding one who is. An SI joint-trained healthcare provider can diagnose SI joint pain, can help you determine what steps to take to help gain insurance coverage for treatment, and should be thoroughly familiar with the iFuse Implant System, which is intended specifically for sacroiliac fusion due to degenerative sacroiliitis or SI joint disruption.
