Overview
Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain is a frequently overlooked and misdiagnosed source of lower back, buttock, and leg pain responsible for up to 30% of chronic low back pain presentations. Because SI joint pain can closely mimic lumbar disc herniation or hip pathology, accurate diagnosis requires a specialist with experience in both the clinical assessment and the image-guided diagnostic injection techniques needed to confirm the SI joint as the pain source. Dr Malik’s precise assessment and fluoroscopy-guided SI joint injection technique provides both diagnostic certainty and targeted therapeutic relief.
