Raj Sureja, MD Performs In-office Procedure
for Chronic Sacroiliitis
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., April 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, Interventional
Pain Management Physician Raj Sureja, MD, performed the first
sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion in Virginia, Maryland, and DC, using the PainTEQ LinQ SI
Joint Stabilization System. https://www.painteq.com/procedure
This non-invasive, in-office procedure was performed on a
51-year-old female patient who had a history of chronic
sacroiliitis after a work injury in 2020. The patient had received
multiple treatments including steroid injections, radio frequency
ablation and platelet-rich plasma injections which were
unsuccessful in mitigating her pain. The patient tolerated the
procedure very well and was released to go home after one hour of
recovery. She intends to return to work in a couple of weeks.
"I'm so pleased to be able to offer this new, minimally invasive
option for treating SI Joint dysfunction", said Dr. Sureja. "With
virtually no down-time after the in-office procedure, and the
promise of real, long-term pain-relief, it's truly a win for my
chronic pain patients."
