Frequently Asked Questions About SI Joint Pain Treatment in Fort Worth

What is the SI joint and what causes SI joint pain?

The sacroiliac (SI) joint connects your spine to your pelvis on each side. SI joint dysfunction occurs when the joint moves too much or too little, causing pain in the lower back, buttocks, hips, or legs. Common causes include pregnancy, trauma, arthritis, uneven leg length, or repetitive stress. Dr. Martinez performs specialized testing to determine if your SI joint is the source of your pain.

How do I know if my pain is from my SI joint?

SI joint pain typically presents as one-sided lower back or buttock pain that may radiate down the leg (but usually not past the knee). Pain often worsens with prolonged sitting, standing, climbing stairs, or transitioning from sitting to standing. Dr. Martinez uses physical examination techniques and diagnostic injections to confirm the SI joint as your pain source.

What is SI joint radiofrequency ablation?

SI joint radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses controlled heat to disrupt the lateral branch nerves that transmit pain signals from your SI joint. This minimally invasive procedure provides long-lasting relief (typically 6-12+ months) and can be repeated when the nerves regenerate. It’s an excellent option for patients who responded well to diagnostic nerve blocks.

Can SI joint pain be treated without surgery?

Yes, the vast majority of SI joint pain can be effectively managed without surgery. At WOW Spine, we offer SI joint injections, lateral branch nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, PRP therapy, and physical therapy. These treatments can provide significant relief and help you avoid more invasive procedures.

How long do SI joint treatments last?

Results vary by treatment type. SI joint steroid injections typically provide relief for weeks to months. Radiofrequency ablation often provides relief for 6-12+ months and can be repeated. PRP therapy may provide longer-lasting benefits as it promotes healing. Dr. Martinez will discuss expected outcomes during your consultation.

Does WOW Spine accept my insurance for SI joint treatment?

We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, and Medicare. Call 682-285-1044 and our staff will verify your coverage before your appointment.
