The sacroiliac (SI) joint connects the spine to the pelvis, playing a crucial role in absorbing impact and stabilizing movement. When this joint becomes inflamed, misaligned, or degenerated, it can cause persistent lower back pain, hip discomfort, and mobility issues. Many patients mistake SI joint pain for sciatica or a herniated disc, leading to delayed treatment. At OrthoGen Health, we provide non-surgical regenerative medicine solutions to relieve pain, restore function, and improve joint stability using the body’s own natural healing properties.
“Someone referred me to this place because i had a very bad knee pain which multiple other doctors i visited, told me have to have an open surgery but Dr.James told me can do PRP which is much easier and safer. I thought it worth trying it. After almost 2 years, i still have no pain and i got back to normal life. I am so glad listen to Dr, James and for your info i think he has one of the highest certificates that only a few doctors in the US have it.
He is so kind and acknowledgeable and i definitely recommend anyone who has joint pain before letting others to have any open surgeries which obviously they want nothing but making money.Thanks you for making the life enjoyable for me again.”
Signs Your Back Pain May Be from the SI Joint
Because SI joint dysfunction can mimic other spine and hip conditions, it is often misdiagnosed. Some key symptoms include:
Lower back pain
Often one-sided and radiating into the buttocks or thighs
Hip pain or stiffness
Worse when sitting, standing, or transitioning between positions
Pain with movement
Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or bending forward
Instability in the pelvis
Feeling of weakness or shifting in the lower back region
Burning or numbness
Radiating from the lower back down the leg
CommonReasons for SI Joint Issues
SI joint pain can result from various factors, including:
- Trauma or injury. Sudden impact from falls, accidents, or sports-related movements.
- Pregnancy or childbirth. Increased pelvic stress and ligament laxity affecting joint alignment.
- Inflammatory conditions Arthritis and autoimmune disorders can weaken joint integrity.
- Repetitive stress. Long periods of standing, sitting, or improper posture.
Natural Healing for SI Joint Pain Without Surgery
Conventional treatments like steroid injections or pain medications provide temporary symptom relief but do not heal the joint. Regenerative medicine takes a different approach by addressing the root cause of inflammation and instability.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Injects concentrated growth factors from your own blood to promote healing and reduce inflammation
Stem Cell Therapy
Supports cartilage and ligament regeneration for long-term SI joint stability
Exosome Therapy
Enhances cellular communication to accelerate tissue repair and joint function
Studies show that PRP therapy can significantly reduce SI joint pain and improve function, making it an effective non-surgical alternative to conventional treatments.
