PainTEQ® Procedure

Where innovation treats the source.

SI joint pain care

The joint that’s often mistaken for the spine.

You have two SI joints — where the base of your spine meets your pelvis. Small joints with a big job: carrying your upper body into your legs as you move. When one is irritated, the pain is stubborn, one-sided, and easily mistaken for an ordinary back problem.

1 in 3
Up to one in three cases of chronic low back pain may actually come from the SI joint1 — and it’s often overlooked.
Where you feel it
Lower back
Buttock
Hip
Back of the thigh
What irritates it
Injury or trauma
Pregnancy
Years of wear
Prior back surgery

A small implant built for the SI joint.

The implant is a small, bone-based allograft for the SI joint — placed inside the joint to stabilize it, and designed to encourage your own bone to fuse around it over time, through a single one-inch incision in your lower back.

Same-day
An outpatient procedure — most patients go home the same day, with no overnight stay.
Safe
Low complication risk in published studies, with a strong safety profile across thousands of patients.2,3
Proven
Patients in published studies experienced an average of 67% pain relief after the procedure.4
Doesn’t close doors
Because the implant is bone-based and minimally invasive, larger fusion procedures stay available later if your care plan ever needs to change.

About the size of an almond. The implant is placed into the SI joint through a small incision in your lower back.

PainTEQ offers two implant options — LINQ® and TRAQ™. You don’t need to choose: your doctor will recommend the right one for your anatomy, your history, and where your procedure is performed.
