Dr RYklin is amazing. He treats each patient as if you’re his only one. I’ve been seeing him for 7yrs due to a neck injury. He definitely finds what pain management meets your individual needs. The practitioners are amazing as well!!!!

Young ladies behind the counter were nice and professional. Dr. Khan was and is awesome. You felt he really cared which I have not felt in the 2 years I've been injured. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars was the hard time I had finding it.

Absolutely the best place I have been too...so many doctors and always just prescribed pain pills for over 10 years. There is hope, after starting injections I feel so much better. I know I'm in the right place.

Been with Kahn for over a year and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. He is not a pharmacy! He solves the issues instead of hiding them with tons of drugs. Have had multiple procedures to correct the problems.

I was nervous when I brought my mom into the office. They are clearly a very busy office, but the front staff was kind, and the doctor was very confident in a treatment plan. Overall my Mom was very pleased with her visit.

What is a sacroiliac joint steroid injection?
A sacroiliac joint steroid injection, also known as a sacroiliac joint injection or SI joint injection is a medical procedure used to relieve pain and inflammation in the sacroiliac joints. The sacroiliac joints are located in the pelvis and connect the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) to the ilium bones of the pelvis. These joints play a crucial role in supporting the upper body and transferring forces between the spine and the legs.
The benefits of sacroiliac joint steroid injections include targeted pain relief, improved mobility, and the potential to avoid more invasive treatments. However, like any medical procedure, there are risks, such as infection, bleeding, nerve damage, or allergic reactions to the injected medications.
How is a sacroiliac joint steroid injection administered?
Preparation:
The patient lies on an examination table, and the skin over the injection site is cleaned and sterilized.
Numbing:
A local anesthetic is applied to numb the skin and underlying tissues, reducing discomfort during the injection.
Injection:
Using fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance for precise placement, the doctor inserts a thin needle into the sacroiliac joint or the area surrounding it.
Medication Injection:
The combination of corticosteroid and anesthetic is injected. The anesthetic provides immediate pain relief, while the corticosteroid works to reduce inflammation over a longer period of time.
Recovery:
The patient is monitored for a short period after the injection. Some patients experience immediate pain relief due to the anesthetic, while the corticosteroid's effects become noticeable over the following days.
