Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Using the power of innovative science and modern technology, we can help you live your best pain-free life without the need for invasive surgery.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a condition characterised by discomfort and pain arising from the sacroiliac joints.
These joints, located at the base of the spine, serve as the connection points between the sacrum (a triangular bone at the lower spine) and the ilium (a large bone in the pelvis).
They play a crucial role in transferring forces between the upper and lower body and are involved in various movements like walking, standing, and sitting.
At Dr SW Clinics, we can treat a range of pain conditions using Regenerative Medicine and pain-relieving injections. If you are tired of living with pain and looking for a non-surgical intervention, then Dr SW Clinics could help you get back to your optimal quality of life.

Depending on the joint issue you present with, there may be a couple of ways to diagnose your pain and thereby find you a lasting solution.
Firstly, you will have a telephone consultation with one of our highly trained patient advisors. This patient advisor will ask you a series of pre-assessment questions to better understand your personal needs.
You will then be invited for a consultation with one of our leading experts. To better gain an understanding of the problem, the Consultant may suggest you receive an x-ray or an MRI.
