SI Joint Injection Inland Empire | Riverside to Temecula

Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain is a common but often overlooked cause of low back, buttock, and hip pain — frequently mistaken for sciatica or a disc problem. At University Pain Consultants, SI joint injections are performed under fluoroscopic guidance at our offices in Riverside, Corona, Menifee, Temecula, Hemet, and San Bernardino.

Insurance-based care: University Pain Consultants accepts most major insurance plans at all six locations. Coverage for procedures depends on your plan and medical necessity; our staff verifies benefits before your procedure when possible. Cash-pay regenerative options (PRP, ketamine, and related therapies) are separate at upcregenmed.com (Riverside & Menifee).

Who this is for

Low back, buttock, or hip pain suspected to come from the SI joint
Pain after pregnancy, prior spine surgery, or repetitive stress
Patients in the Inland Empire who have tried PT and anti-inflammatories without enough relief

Who may not be a good candidate

Active infection or unsafe bleeding risk
Pain clearly from another source after evaluation

What an SI joint injection is

Under live X-ray, a small needle is guided into the SI joint. Contrast may confirm placement, then local anesthetic and corticosteroid are injected to reduce inflammation and clarify whether the joint is the pain source — same technique at every UPC location.

What to expect

Evaluation with history and provocative testing
Fluoroscopy-guided SI joint injection
Temporary soreness can occur; relief often builds over days
Follow-up to interpret response and plan next steps
