SIJ Fusion With PainTeq
Advanced SIJ pain relief with PainTeq
SIJ fusion with PainTEQ is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, a condition that causes chronic lower back pain. Using the advanced PainTEQ system, this procedure stabilizes the SI joint, which can suffer from either hypermobility (excessive movement) or hypomobility (restricted movement), both of which can lead to pain and dysfunction. The procedure involves placing a single implant into the SI joint through a small incision on the back, promoting stability and encouraging long-term fusion without the need for large incisions. PainTEQ provides a long-term solution for individuals who have not found relief through other methods like physical therapy or medications, offering a faster recovery time and less discomfort compared to traditional surgical options.
A modernized approach to back pain
The PainTEQ SIJ fusion procedure provides several advantages over traditional treatments for SI joint dysfunction. It’s minimally invasive, requiring only a small incision, which leads to less pain and a quicker recovery compared to larger surgical procedures. By targeting the root cause of the pain, the procedure helps stabilize the joint and promote long-term fusion, addressing the underlying issue rather than masking the symptoms. This makes it an ideal option for patients who haven’t found lasting relief from physical therapy, injections, or medications.

Patients suffering from chronic lower back pain caused by SI joint dysfunction who have not found relief from other treatments such as physical therapy, medication, or injections may be candidates for the PainTEQ SIJ fusion procedure. A thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider will determine if this treatment is right for you.
Most patients can return to light activities within a few weeks after the procedure. Full recovery and the ability to resume more strenuous activities may take a few months, depending on individual healing and recovery progress.
Physical therapy may be recommended after the procedure to help improve mobility, strengthen the surrounding muscles, and ensure optimal healing. Your doctor will provide specific guidance based on your individual needs.
The PainTEQ SIJ fusion offers a minimally invasive solution with a single implant, providing a precise, effective, and permanent method of stabilizing the SI joint. It is different from other treatments, such as injections or physical therapy, by directly addressing the joint instability and promoting long-term fusion for lasting pain relief.
