Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction Treatment
Pain from the joint between the sacrum and the pelvis, felt low and off to one side.
Overview
What Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction Actually Is
SI joint pain typically sits below the belt line and to one side, worsens with prolonged positions and positional changes, and is commonly mistaken for lumbar disc pain. A fluoroscopy-guided diagnostic block is the definitive way to confirm it before committing to any treatment plan.
Also called: sacroiliitis, SI joint pain
Symptoms patients describe
- Sharp or dull pain low and to one side of the back
- Pain rolling over in bed or getting out of a car
- Discomfort standing on one leg
- Pain into the buttock that rarely goes below the knee
Diagnosis
How It's Confirmed Here
- 01
Hands-on exam
Each structure is loaded separately so the source is narrowed before any imaging is ordered.
- 02
Imaging review
Your existing films are reviewed independently by Dr. Hyzy — not just the outside report.
- 03
In-room ultrasound
Dynamic imaging while you move, so tissue quality and behavior are seen live.
- 04
Diagnostic guided injection
When more than one structure could be responsible, a targeted block confirms which one is.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction — Questions Patients Ask
How do you know it's the SI joint and not a disc?
The exam narrows it, and a guided diagnostic block confirms it. That distinction changes the entire treatment plan.
