Sacroiliac joint pain can often be overlooked, yet understanding its dysfunction is vital for lasting spine and body stability.

For so many patients, chronic pain in the lower back, hips, or buttocks becomes a barrier to the life they love. It’s easy to assume this persistent discomfort comes from the spine alone, but the underlying cause may be sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction.

Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction refers to pain or discomfort arising from abnormalities or imbalances in the sacroiliac joint, which connects the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) to the ilium (part of the pelvis). This joint is essential for stability and load transfer between the spine and the lower body.

When this joint is not functioning smoothly, even the simplest activities, like standing, walking, or climbing stairs, can become daunting. Diagnosing SI joint pain can be complex and typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. Many people experience frustration when imaging results appear “normal,” yet pain lingers. That’s why expert evaluation matters.

Common causes of SI joint pain include:
- Trauma or injury
- Pregnancy and related changes
- Degenerative or inflammatory conditions
- Leg length differences
- Overuse/repetitive stress
- Muscle imbalances
- Sacroiliitis or structural abnormalities
- Stress fractures in the pelvis or sacrum

Signs of SI joint dysfunction might include lower back pain (often one-sided), buttock pain that can radiate down one leg, hip or groin aching, pain with standing from sitting, or discomfort when sitting on hard surfaces.

At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, Dr. Jackie Weisbein and her team provide thoughtful, holistic care, helping patients rediscover what’s possible. Personalized solutions may include SI joint injections, or, depending upon severity and type, innovative treatment options such as SI-Bone iFuse INTRA and iFuse TORQ.

Vertebrogenic back pain is a chronic condition linked to vertebral endplate damage, are you overlooking this cause?

Chronic low back pain can weigh down every part of life. But not all back pain is the same. “Vertebrogenic low back pain” is a specific condition caused by damage to the vertebral endplates in the spine. It often hides in plain sight, making patients feel like hope is running out.

Who faces vertebrogenic back pain? Honored to care for people who describe:
- Deep, aching, or burning pain in the low back
- Pain that gets worse when bending forward, sitting for long periods, or staying active
- Sometimes even tingling, numbness, or weakness if a degenerative disc is present

It’s usually tied to wear and tear over time, but disc degeneration can play a role as well. If this sounds familiar, and the pain has lingered for six months or longer, even after trying rest, therapy, or medication, you’re not alone.

A crucial clue: An MRI may reveal “Modic changes” (signs of inflammation or damage in the bone next to your discs). Carefully matching symptoms and imaging gives patients a real answer, not just a label.

At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, advanced options like the Intracept procedure (basivertebral nerve ablation) are changing the conversation. This minimally invasive procedure targets the basivertebral nerve inside the vertebra to interrupt pain signals, giving hope to those who feel stuck.

What to expect? A small incision and radiofrequency heat are used to treat the nerve. Afterward, patients may have mild soreness or swelling for a few days. Studies suggest meaningful relief is possible with the right care and attention to detail.

Careful patient selection, high-quality imaging, and support with rehab can make all the difference. Empowering patients is the mission.

Have you or someone you love felt stuck with low back pain that just won't get better? What questions do you have about new treatment options?

Fibromyalgia pain can intensify after a period of intense stress, could mind-body strategies be the missing link?

Stress and pain often travel together, making daily life feel overwhelming for so many living with fibromyalgia. This chronic pain disorder causes widespread pain and “tenderness to even the lightest touch,” often bringing fatigue, sleep problems, headaches, depression, anxiety, or even TMJ pain.

Science is moving forward. Thoughtful investigations reveal fibromyalgia may begin with a chemical imbalance in the brain. Genetics, infections, physical or emotional trauma, or a period of intense stress can all play a role.

For those thinking, “I’ve tried everything,” there is hope. Guidelines now recommend an integrative, tailored approach to managing fibromyalgia, focused not only on medication, but also education and psychological support. The research shows:

- Health education can reduce pain intensity and boost quality of life
- Nonpharmacological strategies and personalized care are recommended
- Psychological therapies can help break the pain-stress cycle

If your pain has lasted three months or longer, with no clear cause, it is important to seek an evaluation. At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, the approach is holistic, patients receive personal care, lifestyle support, and encouragement every step of the way.

Empowerment happens when we bring science, compassion, and community together. You are not alone. ❤️

Spinal injections bring new hope for those whose pain persists despite physical therapy or medication.

Chronic pain can feel relentless, especially when it holds you back from the things you love. At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, Dr. Jackie Weisbein, DO recognizes how defeating it is when pain just won’t budge, even after trying multiple approaches.

This is where a multimodal care plan shines. Spinal injections are recommended when conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle modifications fail to alleviate debilitating back or neck pain.

What makes spinal injections different? Dr. Weisbein delivers medication directly into the affected area of the spine, precisely targeting nerves or inflamed tissue. This approach aims to reduce pain and inflammation, and is often part of a comprehensive, personalized care plan.

Some facts about spinal injections and how they fit into holistic pain management:
- They can address chronic low back pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
- Types may include sacroiliac joint injections, with steroids placed between the sacrum and ilium bones to help relieve low back, buttock, and leg pain.
- Candidacy is determined after a careful review of symptoms, medical history, and examination (sometimes including diagnostic imaging).

By combining physical therapy with interventional pain procedures like spinal injections, patients build strength, restore function, and finally move forward. One step at a time. 💪

Dr. Weisbein and the Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group team are honored to support our community with evidence-based, compassionate care. Because everyone deserves a chance to live fully, without being defined by chronic pain.

Have you or a loved one explored spinal injections as part of your pain relief journey? How did it change your outlook?

Diagnostic injections reveal the cause of your pain, what happens next could transform your treatment path. 💫

When living with chronic low back pain or sacroiliac joint issues, many patients feel stuck after trying treatment after treatment. Answers can feel elusive. That’s where diagnostic injections at Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group can make a real difference for our community.

Spinal injections deliver medication directly into the affected area of the spine, targeting specific nerves or inflamed tissue to reduce pain and inflammation. They can provide both diagnostic information and therapeutic relief.

But what truly sets diagnostic injections apart? Diagnostic injections help Dr. Weisbein diagnose the cause of your pain, rather than treating the pain.

This means your experience after a diagnostic injection provides essential clues about where your pain originates. It allows Dr. Weisbein to design the most thoughtful, highly personalized plan, addressing chronic pain at its root, not just managing symptoms.

What happens next?

- Dr. Weisbein carefully observes your pain response after injection
- If the injection identifies the problem area, further treatments can be specifically targeted
- Often, after diagnosing your pain, she may recommend another type of injection for pain relief, selected based on your unique diagnosis

Precision. Partnership. Relief, these are the guiding principles at Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group. Patients feel seen, heard, and supported. The path forward is built together, bringing hope and options to those who may have felt forgotten in their chronic pain journey.

Spinal decompression can transform spine stability by widening the spinal canal for significant pain relief.

Strong. Steady. Supported. The mechanics of your spine shape every single movement, from getting out of bed to chasing after your goals. Chronic pain, especially in the lower back, can hold you back and keep you sidelined from life’s best moments.

Occipital nerve blocks may be a breakthrough for neck pain and headaches, are you up to date on this treatment? 💡

Chronic neck pain and constant headaches can make life feel overwhelming. For some, traditional treatments just haven’t brought the relief they need. At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, we recognize this struggle and are committed to exploring options that might offer comfort.

Occipital nerve blocks are among the treatment options provided by Dr. Weisbein to relieve neck pain. This minimally invasive therapy uses local anesthetic, sometimes combined with a steroid, delivered near the greater occipital nerve, which is the main sensory nerve of the occipital area. The goal? Calm irritated nerves that contribute to certain types of pain at the back of the head and upper neck.

What are some reasons a physician might consider occipital nerve blocks?
- Evaluation for possible cervicogenic headache or occipital neuralgia
- Exploring options for patients with persistent neck pain, especially if other treatments have not worked
- Adjunct therapy for some headache disorders, such as chronic migraine, based on research reviews

This procedure has been evaluated for its effect in conditions like chronic migraine and cluster headache, though results vary. At Dr. Weisbein’s practice, any recommendation comes after careful consideration and focuses on highly personalized care.

Every patient’s journey is unique. Making informed choices begins with understanding which treatments are available and how they may fit with your needs.

Curious if occipital nerve blocks could be a next step on your road to relief? Have you tried other treatments for chronic pain or stubborn headaches?
