ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction is a common but underrecognized source of low back pain (LBP). With provocative testing, emergency physicians can diagnose SIJ dysfunction and begin appropriate treatment in the emergency department (ED).DISCUSSION:
For patients with significant pain from SIJ dysfunction, ultrasound-guided SIJ injection of anesthetic and corticosteroid can reduce patients' pain considerably.CONCLUSIONS:
For patients who are good candidates for SIJ injection, emergency physicians can begin treatment in the ED, before the patient follows up with a specialist.Key words
