Lower Back, Hip, or Buttock Pain That Just Won’t Go Away?

If you’re dealing with chronic pain that starts in your lower back and seems to spread into your hips or buttocks—especially when sitting, standing, or walking—your sacroiliac (SI) joint may be the cause.

The SI joint connects your spine to your pelvis. When it becomes irritated or unstable, it can cause chronic discomfort and limit your mobility.

Noninvasive Treatments

We always begin by recommending conservative treatments. They may include:

• Medicines
• Physical therapy
• Alternative therapies such as acupuncture, heat/cold therapy
• Injections

But if your pain keeps coming back or never fully improves, a more lasting option may help.

What Is the LinQ® Procedure?

The LinQ system is a minimally invasive procedure designed to stabilize the SI joint and reduce pain.

• Done through a small incision (about the size of a pencil eraser)
• No screws or hardware
• Usually takes less than 30 minutes
• Outpatient procedure—you go home the same day
• Most patients return to light activity within a few days

How It Works

Using a specialized device and live X-ray guidance, we place a tiny bone implant into the SI joint. This helps the joint become more stable and allows it to heal naturally over time. In many cases, the joint gradually forms a secure connection with the implant—a process known as fusion—which supports long-term pain relief.

Why Patients Choose LinQ

• Minimally invasive = less pain, faster recovery
• No metal implants or large incisions
• Low-risk approach using safe, proven techniques
• Helps restore comfort while preserving your natural movement

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good fit if:

• You have chronic lower back, hip, or buttock pain
• Physical therapy, medications, or injections haven’t worked long-term
• You had temporary relief from an SI joint injection (a diagnostic sign that the joint is the problem)

What to Expect After the Procedure

• Walk out the same day
• Return to normal activities within a few days
• Feel relief beginning within weeks, continuing to improve over time
• Experience fewer flare-ups and a better quality of life
