Sacroiliac Joint Fusion

Sacroiliac joint fusion is a surgical intervention aimed at treating chronic pain that arises from the sacroiliac joint, the structure connecting the pelvis to the spine. The procedure involves the use of small implants to stabilize the joint, reducing movement and alleviating pain caused by conditions such as sacroiliitis or joint dysfunction.

This procedure can provide significant relief for individuals whose sacroiliac joint pain has not responded to conservative treatments. By stabilizing the joint, sacroiliac joint fusion helps reduce inflammation, improve function, and restore mobility. Many patients report a noticeable improvement in their quality of life following the procedure.

Candidates for sacroiliac joint fusion are typically those who have experienced prolonged pain and limited mobility despite trying non-surgical options like physical therapy, medications, or joint injections. Additionally, individuals with significant joint instability or confirmed degeneration through imaging studies. This procedure is often considered when sacroiliac joint dysfunction severely impacts daily activities and quality of life, and conservative measures have proven ineffective.

At Compass Pain and Wellness, our experienced providers carefully evaluate each patient’s symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine if sacroiliac joint fusion is the most appropriate option for relieving their pain and improving stability.
