Experts weigh in on the findings of a study comparing patients with sacroiliac (SI) joint pain who received either conservative measures or denervation procedure with a group of patients who received a minimally invasive SI joint fusion."Sacroiliac joint pathology is difficult to diagnosis and difficult to treat," said David A. Spinner, DO, director of pain management at Mount Sinai Health System. "The ever-increasing risk of misuse, hyperalgesia, and death from long-term and escalating opioid management drives providers to find other treatment options," Dr. Spinner told Practical Pain Management.
