For Patients
Why Choose a Trained SI Joint Healthcare Provider?
For most of the last century, doctors were taught that the SI joint did not move and therefore could not be a source of low back pain. Today, we know that's not true. Finding a doctor who is well trained in SI joint diagnosis and treatment gives you the best opportunity to understand the true source of your pain and step toward the correct treatment for you.
Trained Doctors Know SI Joint Tests and Indications
Doctors trained in considering the SI joint as a source of pain know which tests -- from provocative tests to SI joint diagnostic injections -- will help indicate or eliminate your SI joint as a cause of pain. And they know how to apply them. Remember, your pain may be due to your lumbar spine or hip, or a combination of problems. Getting the right diagnosis is the only way to discover the right treatment for you.
