BackgroundSacroiliac 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).DiscussionFor patients with significant pain from SIJ dysfunction, ultrasound-guided SIJ injection of anesthetic and corticosteroid can reduce patients' pain considerably.ConclusionsFor patients who are good candidates for SIJ injection, emergency physicians can begin treatment in the ED, before the patient follows up with a specialist.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
