Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Spine, Neck & Back Treatments

  • SI Joint Injection Our primary treatment involves a targeted injection of corticosteroid and local anesthetic directly into the sacroiliac joint using fluoroscopic guidance. This minimally invasive procedure reduces inflammation and provides significant pain relief for most patients.
    • Fluoroscopy-guided needle placement for optimal accuracy
    • Local anesthetic for immediate pain relief
    • Long-acting corticosteroid to reduce inflammation
    • Outpatient procedure completed in 15-20 minutes
  • Physical Therapy Our licensed physical therapists work closely with you to strengthen the muscles supporting your SI joint and improve overall pelvic stability. Specialized exercises and manual therapy techniques help maintain the benefits of your injection.
    • SI joint stabilization exercises
    • Core strengthening programs
    • Manual therapy and joint mobilization
    • Postural training and body mechanics education
  • Activity Modification Our team provides personalized guidance on modifying daily activities and work habits to reduce stress on your SI joint. We help you identify movement patterns that may contribute to your pain and teach protective strategies.
    • Ergonomic assessment and workplace modifications
    • Safe lifting and movement techniques
    • Activity pacing strategies
  • Medication Management When appropriate, our physicians may recommend anti-inflammatory medications or muscle relaxants to complement your injection therapy. Our in-house pharmacy ensures convenient access to prescribed medications.

Watch how our minimally invasive SI joint fusion procedure can provide lasting relief from chronic SI joint pain.

Surgical Spine, Neck & Back Procedures

  • SI Joint Fusion For patients who don't achieve lasting relief with injections, minimally invasive SI joint fusion permanently stabilizes the joint using titanium implants. This outpatient procedure offers excellent long-term outcomes with minimal tissue disruption.
  • Radiofrequency Ablation This advanced procedure uses precise heat energy to interrupt nerve signals from the SI joint, providing longer-lasting pain relief than traditional injections. The minimally invasive technique can offer relief for 12-24 months.
Star
Over 92% of our SI joint fusion patients report significant pain improvement and return to normal activities within 8-12 weeks.

2

Preparation and Positioning

You'll be positioned comfortably on the procedure table, and the injection site will be thoroughly cleaned and numbed with local anesthetic.

Fluoroscopic Guidance

Using real-time X-ray imaging, your physician precisely guides the needle to the SI joint space for optimal medication placement.

4

Medication Injection

A combination of local anesthetic and corticosteroid is carefully injected into the joint space to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.

5

Recovery and Follow-up

After a brief observation period, you'll receive post-procedure instructions and schedule follow-up care to monitor your progress.

What Patients Say

SP
My father had spine surgery with Dr. Munk and was happy with the results. Dr Munk has always been very helpful, courteous and compassionate towards both my father and myself. These reviews must be a small handful out of 1000's. I'm in need of shoulder surgery myself now and if Dr. Munk could do, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment. He's a wonderful doctor. My father thinks he's a rock star!

Mendelson Kornblum has the best doctors and staff. They have same day appointments for serious injuries. I definitely recommend them to friends and family. Dr. Mulawa is the best! Spends quality time with me reviewing different treatments. Never long wait times and super friendly staff. Dr. Munk is the best orthopedic surgeon around. He makes you feel comfortable and spends time answering questions regarding any surgical procedures.

I've been to Dr. Kornblum for lower back surgery and Dr. Munk for SI Joint surgeries and I've always been treated very well. Both were very professional and up front about everything that I was dealing with, and what to expect. No false hope. But most of all, they were both very easy to talk to about any concerns that I had. I'm very grateful that they were able to help me the way they did. I've never had any issues with Mendelson/Kornblum in Livonia. Whether it's billing, appointments or checking in, or anything else, everyone's been friendly and helpful.
