"The book focuses on procedures a pain physician may perform on the sacroiliac joint. It focuses only on this joint, providing various techniques a pain physician may perform for the treatment of pain. The book progresses from minimally invasive to invasive procedures and more importantly, the indications and contraindications also increase." -©Doody’s Review Service, 2024 Robert R.
