Demographic data to consider include sex, age, weight, occupation, affected side, co morbidity and suggested pathology of the examined SIJ. Results: there is a significant decrease of the inflammatory back pain in 85% of patients; on mean post 2.00±1.86 compared to pre 7.50±1.24 according to VAS of patients after 6 months follow up (p-value <0.001 HS). Its minimally invasive procedure & good result by single injection to all patients during 6 months follow up.
