SI Joint Fixation Treatment in India

Sara Brown, a 42-year-old elementary school teacher and mother of two young children, had always been active. Her life changed after a difficult childbirth with her second child, which was followed by a minor car accident six months later. The combination left her with debilitating pain deep in her right buttock that radiated down her leg. Simple tasks like standing to teach, bending to tie her kids' shoes, or even rolling over in bed became agonizing. After a year of physical therapy, chiropractic care, and multiple diagnostic injections that provided only temporary relief, an MRI confirmed severe sacroiliac joint dysfunction and instability. Her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Evans, recommended SI joint fusion, explaining it would stabilize the joint and allow the inflammation to settle. Sara was terrified of surgery but desperate to reclaim her life. The minimally invasive procedure went smoothly. The first two weeks of recovery were tough, requiring help from her husband, but by six weeks, the sharp, stabbing pain was gone. At her three-month follow-up, she was slowly returning to walks and light activities with her family. Emotionally, she journeyed from feeling broken and like a burden to her family to one of profound hope and gratitude, finally seeing a path back to being the engaged mom and teacher she longed to be.
