Sacroiliitis Pain Management

Treatment Options for Sacroiliitis Pain

August 31, 2016/0 Comments/in Back Pain, Leg Pain /by Matthew Thorson

sacroiliitis pain

Sacroiliitis causes pain and other issues in the low back as the result of an inflammation of the sacroiliac joint(s). It can be difficult to diagnose this condition because of symptom overlap with other issues. In this article, we are going to examine sacroiliitis and talk about some options for treatment.

What is Sacroiliitis?

Sacroiliitis is a condition caused by an inflammation of the sacroiliac joints located at the intersection of your lower spine and pelvis. Sacroiliitis has symptoms similar to many other conditions and injuries. As such, it is often very difficult to accurately diagnose, and thus, treat. Here are some of the common symptoms of the condition to look out for:

  • Pain in the lower back and/or buttocks area.
  • Typically, this pain gets worse with standing for long periods of time, running, or walking up and down stairs.

This condition can be the result of an acute injury, arthritic conditions, infection, and during pregnancy. Treatment modalities depend heavily on the circumstances surrounding the condition.

Treating Sacroiliitis

Before starting any treatment plan, you need to have a physician solidify a diagnosis of the condition. Once that’s done, sacroiliitis is typically treated most effectively with pain medications, joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, physical therapy, or regenerative medicine methods. Surgery is very rare for sacroiliitis, but in certain cases, may be appropriate.

The pain doctors at Advanced Spine & Pain Specialists in MN have been treating patients for sacroiliitis and other forms of pain for the past twenty years. Our team is trained and experienced in various treatment methods including pain medications, injections, and regenerative techniques. If you’re living your life in pain, pick up the phone and call a Minnesota pain management doctor to find out your options for treatment.

Leg Cramps – Causes & Treatments

January 11, 2016/0 Comments/in Leg Pain /by Matthew Thorson

leg cramp pain

Leg cramps range from mildly annoying to intensely painful and debilitating. No matter how severe your leg cramping is, treating it is a matter of discovering the root cause. In this blog we are going to discuss the various factors that may be causing your leg cramps, and how to treat acute and chronic leg cramping.

What is Causing my Leg Cramps?

Leg cramps are the result of muscle spasms that cause the muscles in the legs to involuntary seize up without the patient’s control. If leg cramps occur specifically in the calf, they are called Charly Horses. There are many potential elements that can cause a person’s legs to cramp up, including:

  • Not stretching enough before exercise
  • Poor circulation in the legs
  • Dehydration
  • Overexertion or muscle fatigue during exercise
  • Pinched nerves in the spinal cord or legs

Certain medications (such as Lasix and Evista) have also been shown to cause muscle spasms in the legs.

Treating Leg Cramps

Treating leg cramps depends on the root cause of the cramping. If the cramping is acute and pops up in the course of exercising, it can typically be treated with massaging, stretching, and icing the muscle. However, if the cramping is chronic and extremely painful (or comes with numbness in the legs), the root cause may be related to the nerves. If that’s the case, you may need to consider over options like nerve block injections or minimally invasive surgery on the affected nerves.

If you are experiencing leg cramps that are causing you pain or interfering with your mobility, contact an experienced pain management physician. The pain doctors at Advanced Spine & Pain Clinics of MN have over 20 years of experience treating leg pain conditions and can walk you through your treatment options. Contact us today to set up your appointment.
