At Gerling Spine Care NY, we specialize in providing advanced treatment options for SI Joint dysfunction. One of the most effective procedures for treating sacroiliac joint pain is SI Joint Fusion, a minimally invasive surgical solution that targets the source of pain and provides long-term relief. Our team, led by experienced spine specialist Dr. Michael Gerling, is committed to restoring your mobility, alleviating your discomfort, and improving your quality of life.
When is SI Joint Fusion Surgery Recommended?
If conservative treatments, such as physical therapy, medication, or injections, do not provide sufficient relief, your doctor may recommend SI Joint Fusion. This surgical procedure is typically considered when:
- You have persistent SI joint pain that has not improved with non-surgical treatments.
- The pain is severe and affects your ability to perform daily activities.
- Imaging tests and diagnostic injections confirm that the SI joint is the primary source of pain.
