Ultrasound Guided SI Joint Injections

A challenging injection for many Pain Management specialists is an SI Joint.  This type of an injection is most certainly performed under some sort of imaging guidance, the imaging of choice over the last decade has been x-ray or fluoroscopy.  However, just over the last couple of years more and more clinical information has been coming out that the use of ultrasound is a great alternative to fluoroscopy due to the fact that it's more readily available, can be done in any exam room, and doesn't have radiation.  The rates of success in entering the joint and outcome levels vary by the experience of the physician.

So why hasn't it taken over as the imaging choice for many Pain Dr's?  Primarily lack of training and comfort level as mentioned above.  The SI Joint is a difficult joint to image under ultrasound guidance primarily due to it's normal anatomy and the difficult nature of entering the joint.  The experts at Advisor Medical have 2 unique techniques in imaging this difficult joint that makes it easy and straight forward for beginning Pain Medicine Dr's to successfully start performing this injection.  To view the video demonstration of this technique click here.
