Despite applying recent advances in research and technology and taking into acount proper histories and performing thorough physical examinations, a high percentage of patients with low back pain have no identifiable pathology. Problems especially of the sacroiliac joint are commonly missed. The purpose of this article is to describe the effects of sacroiliac injection of local anesthetics and corticosteroids on patients with acute sacroiliac sprain. The sacroiliac joints are essentially nonweight-bearing joints that allows a small amount of anteroposterior rotatory movement around transverse axis usually about 5 to 10 cm below the promontory of the sacrum vertically. The ligamentous portion of sacroiliac joint is vulnerable to rotatory movement particularly when the individual is in an awkward position. Injections of 3 ml of 2% lidocaine and 10 mg of methylprednisolone were given twice at two day intervals to 26 patients with acute sacroiliac sprain. Most of those patients obtained excellent results without any adverse effects.

장요인대 염좌 환자 2명에게 전열침 치료를 시행하여 통증 강도가 증가하였지만 봉독약침 치료를 시행한 후 통증 강도와 요추 가동범위 및 이학적 검진상에서 호전되었음을 보고한다. 이와 같이 봉독약침에 의해 호전 될 수 있는, 염증성 병변을 내재하였거나 진행 될 가능성이 있는 환자에 대한 사전의 감별 진단에 대한 연구 및 전열침 치료의 효과 및 부작용에 대한 체계적인 연구가 추후에 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
