Speaker(s)
Dr. Mathew Alexander
Neurosurgeon
Dr. Michael Tschickardt
Pain Management Physician
Description
According to scientific studies, it's common for pain from the SI joint to feel like disc or lower back pain.* In fact, the Sacroiliac (SI) Joint may be a pain generator in 15-30% of patients with chronic lower back pain and even higher (up to 43%) for patients with continued or new onset low back pain after a previous lumbar fusion.** The good news is that trained healthcare professionals can now distinguish between symptoms arising from the lumbar portion of the spine, hip, and SI joint.
Join us to hear Dr. Mathew Alexander and Dr. Michael Tschickardt discuss this commonly underdiagnosed cause of low back, hip, and pelvic pain. He will review anatomy, causes and symptoms of SI joint dysfunction, diagnosis, and treatment options--both non-surgical and surgical.
