Who is a candidate for SI joint fusion with LinQ?
If your quality of life is affected by chronic pain resulting from sacroiliac joint dysfunction, the LinQ procedure could be the relief you’ve been searching for. While often overlooked as a source of lower back pain, the SI joint plays an important role in stabilizing the pelvis and spine. When first-line treatments such as anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and sacroiliac joint injections fail to provide sufficient relief, LinQ may be the next step. Patients who have had a laminectomy or prior fusion often wonder if they are suitable candidates for this treatment. The answer is: yes, you may still be a candidate for LinQ! Furthermore, as SI joint dysfunction often presents alongside other conditions, patients with conditions like arthritis, trauma, or degenerative joint disease may also benefit from the LinQ procedure. To find out whether LinQ is right for you, schedule an appointment with a reputable specialist near you.
