Sacroiliac Joint Injection With Imaging Guidance

Vermont rates for HCPCS 27096

A physician injects an anesthetic and/or steroid medication into the sacroiliac joint, where the base of the spine connects to the pelvis, using X-ray or CT imaging to confirm accurate needle placement. The injection can help calm inflammation and pain in the joint, and can also help confirm that the joint is the actual source of a patient's lower back or buttock pain. Contrast dye may be used to outline the joint space before the medication is delivered.
