Sacroiliac joint injection and cervical nerve block. what are they?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Regional analgesia: A sacroiliac joint injection is an injection of local anesthetic, typically combined with a glucocorticoid (form of steroid), into the joint to relieve inflammation and pain associated with sacroliitis. A cervical nerve block is an injection of local anesthetic designed to "block" a cervical nerve for the purpose of pain relief, or pain prevention, as for a surgical procedure on the arm or hand.

Very different: An si injection is an injection of the joint between the spine and the tailbone. A cervical nerve block is an injection of one of the nerves in the cervical spine.
