Core Tip	This clinical review summarizes current evidence on diagnostic sacroiliac (SI) joint injections and therapeutic interventions, particularly steroid injections and radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Image-guided diagnostic injections remain the gold standard for confirming SI joint-related pain. While steroid injections may provide short-term relief, RFA-especially cooled or bipolar techniques-demonstrates more durable pain reduction lasting up to 6-12 months in appropriately selected patients. Emerging regenerative therapies such as platelet-rich plasma and mesenchymal stem cells show promise but require further high-quality clinical evidence to establish their effectiveness.
