Sacroiliac joint pain is located where the lower spine and pelvis join together. Patients with sacroiliitis may feel pain around the lower spine, pelvis, lower back, buttocks, and legs. This pain can even reach the feet if the inflammation is severe. Sacroiliac joint pain can feel sudden and sharp or cause numbness and tingling. Signs that your sacroiliac joint is the reason you’re feeling pain include the following:
 
– The pain feels much worse in the morning and gets progressively better throughout the day
– Pain occurs only on one side of your back
– The pain may be triggered by standing up and can shoot down your entire leg
 
Sometimes, locating the source of your pain can be difficult. However, American Pain and Wellness is determined to find the source of your pain so that you receive the most effective treatments available. We will run a series of physical examinations that will determine how well your sacroiliac joint moves.

This type of joint pain worsens with the following movements:
 
– Standing for long periods of time
– Jogging or running
– Placing weight on one leg
– Walking up stairs
–  Physical activities such as hiking, basketball, skating, soccer, golfing, etc…

Some cases of sacroiliac pain can go away within a few days, weeks, months, or years. This is highly dependent on the cause and severity of the inflammation. Chronic, persistent pain can be caused by conditions such as traumatic injury, infection, pregnancy, and arthritis. Unfortunately, this not only has a negative impact on your physical health, but it can also cause mental frustration, depression, and insomnia. This is why seeking pain management care at a clinic like American Pain and Wellness is essential on your road to recovery.

There are many different options for treating sacroiliac pain, including rest, ice, heat, pain medication, joint injections, physical therapy, braces, and manual manipulation. American Pain and Wellness believes in minimizing the reliance on opiate medication and introducing innovative treatment options such as radiofrequency ablation.
 
Radiofrequency ablation, otherwise known as rhizotomy, is an advanced pain management technique that uses radio frequency currents to destroy painful tissues around the nerve. This blocks the pain signals from reaching your brain. Benefits of RFA treatment include:
 
– Reduced back pain
– Decreased need for opiate medications
– Quick recovery time
– Improved back function and range of motion
– Avoid the need for surgery
– Safe treatment
– Long-lasting pain relief
