The LinQ procedure is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment for addressing chronic pain stemming from sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction. Located between the sacrum and the pelvis, the SI joint can become a significant source of lower back pain due to improper movement or misalignment. During the LinQ procedure, a small bone allograft is placed into the affected joint to stabilize and fuse the area, reducing movement and alleviating pain. LinQ can successfully stabilize the SI joint and eliminate chronic symptoms without the need for extensive surgery. By using a single, small incision (about 1 inch long) in the lower back, a physician will place the allograft into the SI joint. The LinQ procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and takes less than an hour, meaning you can return home the same day as your treatment. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, patients benefit from faster recovery times compared to open surgeries.
