Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Q&A

What is a Sacroiliac Joint Fusion?

Sacroiliac Joint Fusion is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that stabilizes the SI joint by fusing the sacrum and ilium bones, part of the pelvis. This procedure is particularly effective for patients who have not responded to conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections. By fusing the joint, we can significantly reduce or eliminate pain, improve stability, and enhance your overall quality of life.

PainTEQ Medical Device

At Houston Pain Specialists, we utilize the PainTEQ device for our Sacroiliac Joint Fusion procedures. PainTEQ is a leading provider of innovative medical devices designed to improve patient outcomes in the treatment of chronic pain. The PainTEQ device offers several key advantages:

  • Minimally Invasive: The PainTEQ device allows for a less invasive approach to SI joint fusion, resulting in shorter recovery times and reduced postoperative pain.
  • Precision and Stability: The device is engineered for precise placement, ensuring optimal joint stabilization and long-term pain relief.
  • Proven Success: PainTEQ’s technology is backed by clinical studies demonstrating its effectiveness in treating SI joint dysfunction.
