Sacroiliac (SI) joint injection and radiofrequency treatment are minimally invasive procedures used to diagnose and manage pain originating from the sacroiliac joints. These joints connect the lower spine to the pelvis and can become a source of chronic lower back, hip, or buttock pain.
When conservative treatments do not provide relief, these procedures can offer targeted and long-lasting pain management. Dr. Kavita Poply provides a precise and patient-focused approach to SI joint treatments, helping patients regain mobility and comfort.
What is a Sacroiliac Joint Injection?
A sacroiliac joint injection involves delivering a combination of local anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication directly into the SI joint.
This helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and confirm whether the SI joint is the source of discomfort.
What is Sacroiliac Joint Radiofrequency?
Sacroiliac joint radiofrequency treatment uses controlled heat to target and disrupt the nerves supplying the SI joint. This helps provide longer-lasting pain relief compared to injections alone.
It is often recommended when diagnostic injections provide temporary relief.

- Chronic lower back pain
