Sacroiliac Joint Injections are recommended for individuals experiencing persistent Lower Back, Hip, or Pelvic pain that is suspected to originate from the SI joints. These injections serve both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, helping to confirm the source of pain while providing symptom relief. Patients with conditions such as sacroiliitis, SI joint dysfunction, or degenerative joint disease may benefit from this treatment if conservative measures, such as physical therapy and lifestyle modifications, have not provided sufficient relief.
Individuals who experience increased Pain when sitting for long periods, transitioning from sitting to standing or walking may be candidates for SI joint injections. Additionally, those recovering from lower back surgery or experiencing altered gait patterns due to injury or arthritis may develop SI joint pain and benefit from targeted treatment. A thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider, including imaging studies and physical examination, helps determine whether SI joint injections are appropriate for an individual's pain management plan.
Adjuvant Therapy, also known as adjunct therapy, is additional treatment given after the primary treatment to maximize its effectiveness. It is commonly used in Cancer Treatment, where it involves the use of Chemotherapy, Radiation therapy, or Hormone therapy after surgical removal of a tumor. The primary goal is to eliminate any remaining cancer cells, reduce the risk of recurrence and increase the chances of long-term survival. Adjuvant Therapy can be tailored to the specific type and stage of cancer, as well as the patient's overall health and response to initial treatment.
In addition to Cancer, Adjuvant Therapy can also be applied in the management of other chronic conditions. For example, in Orthopedic surgeries like joint replacements, adjuvant therapies might include physical therapy and medications to manage pain and inflammation, ensuring optimal recovery and function. Adjuvant care is a comprehensive approach that involves a multidisciplinary team of health-care professionals working together to provide the best possible outcomes for the patient. It focuses on supporting the patient through recovery, improving quality of life, and preventing disease progression or recurrence.
