Consultation
At your first appointment, we focus on you. Dr. Alexander listens closely to your questions, concerns, and health history to discover the root cause of your joint issues. We then build a plan aimed at treating your pain.
Treatment
The most common option is an SI joint injection in combination with laser therapy. Under X-ray guidance, Dr. Alexander injects medicine directly into the joint. The injection and medical laser regimen effectively decrease inflammation and calm irritation. Some patients may also benefit from on-site physical therapy to stabilize the joint.
Results
Many patients experience relief within just a few days. For others, pain may consistently fade over weeks as inflammation decreases. Our doctor-led team closely follows your progress, making adjustments to your care to keep you moving toward relief.
