A member asked:
Does prolotherapy have better results than a steroid shot? this would be used for pubis shearing and sacroiliac joint.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroid: I think the steroid shot would give you faster relief in the si joint, i'm not too sure injecting the pubis would serve much benefit.
