Trauma
A car accident, sports injury or a fall on your backside can cause SI joint pain. You can also damage it by lifting heavy objects and twisting in such a way that you stress the joint that connects the two bones.
Pregnancy
Women in their last trimester are prone to SI-Joint pain due to the natural expansion of the pelvic region and weight gain. Often the mother’s walking pattern is changed due to the pelvic pain.
Functional Stress
Pain can arise from a Functional Leg Length Discrepancy (FLLD) or long term stressors such as scoliosis, hip replacements and back surgeries. Even using the iliac crest as a source for bone graft material has been known to loosen the SI Joint.
Osteoarthritis
SI Joints, like any synovial joint in your body, can be stressed by the degenerative impact of osteoarthritis. With the loss of cushioning at the joint due to the persistent rubbing of the two bones, pain will occur, synovitis will generate bone spurs, and the joint may even lock up.
You are not alone if your SI Joint dysfunction keeps coming back. In a recent study, 20% of diagnoses were flat out wrong. The good news is that there is a regenerative alternative to surgery for treating SI Joint pain. Dr. Scott Greenberg will take the time to find the real cause of your lower back pain, and then help your body’s own healing processes rebuild the affected joint systems in your lower back, hip and sacrum areas.
He and his team will perform a Comprehensive Kinetic Diagnosis, including a review of your most recent radiographs. They will carefully examine and palpate your back, hip and sacrum to comprehensively understand why your kinetic systems are out of balance.
If you are an appropriate candidate for Kinetic Regeneration Therapy, Dr. Greenberg will treat your SI Joint by recommending the healing and synergistic cascade of Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Stem Cell Treatments.
A typical treatment course may call for several injections performed every 3 weeks, depending on the patient’s progress. The treatments strengthen and renew sinews, ligaments, tendons, nerves and cartilage using the body’s own healing components to stabilize the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, facet joints, SI Joints, pelvis and sacral regions. If we find additional areas that are causing pain during the procedures, we will try to fix those too. As the spine and joints in the sacrum area grow stronger, your SI Joint pain should dissipate.
Kinetic Regenerative Therapy is an excellent choice for those who are looking for an alternative treatment that will improve your SI Joint syndrome. Our team treats the whole person, not just your symptoms. We work to renew you physically and improve your overall sense of wellness, both emotionally and physically.
