Its can also mimic radiculopathy. Recognition of this clinical complaint and addressing specific treatment can bring dramatic improvement in patient's symptom. The sacroiliac joint injection is one of the most rewarding pain procedures. Imaging study such as X-ray,CAT,or MRI are not helpful in making correct diagnosis unless mechanical problem such as subluxation or intrinsic inflammtion such as sacroilialitis exists. The injection into localized area aims at reducing the inflammation and improve circulation.
Sympathetic block is a valuable technique for treating many sympathetically mediated pain syndromes.
These procedures reverse the clinical symptoms of pain caused by sympathetic dysfunction and they improve blood circulation to the affected area by dilating the vasculature. Early implementation of sympathetic blocks are important for treating sympathetically mediated painful conditions and for preserving tissue function. Other usages for sympathetic block include sympathetic maintained pain, peripheral neuropathy and vascular insufficiency. The earlier the block is implemented, the better the prognosis is. Disproportional amount of hypersensitive pain with burning irritation are some of the early characteristics of sympathetic pain problems.
