Clinical thinking informed by evolving evidence.

Evidence Review

Monitoring literature and clinical outcomes that shape modern SI joint diagnosis and care.

Technique Development

Interest in refining minimally invasive and technology-assisted approaches where appropriate.

Patient Outcomes

Focusing on pain relief, function, mobility, and clearer decision-making across the treatment pathway.

Current Evidence

Structured Exercise

Structured physical therapy can deliver good long-term results, especially for chronic SI pain earlier in the treatment pathway.

Current Evidence

Injection Follow-Up

Longer-term follow-up after SI joint injections shows sustained relief in a substantial portion of patients, with only a small number progressing to fusion.

Current Evidence

Ablation And Fusion Studies

Published outcome data continue to compare radiofrequency ablation and iFuse fusion across pain relief, disability improvement, and longer-term function.

Focus Area

Better Patient Selection

Research helps identify which symptom patterns, imaging findings, and responses to injections most strongly predict meaningful benefit from treatment.

Focus Area

Procedure Refinement

Technique matters. Small improvements in planning, imaging, and execution can influence recovery, precision, and long-term outcomes.

Focus Area

Outcome Tracking

Pain scores, walking tolerance, function, and return to activity all help measure whether care is actually improving daily life.
