Sacroiliac (SI) Fusion
We know how hard it is to live with hip or back pain, especially when it hurts to walk or lie down. That’s why we offer sacroiliac (SI) fusion, to help you find the relief you need to get back to the life you love. What is SI Fusion? Like any joint, the SI joint (where your spine and pelvis meet) can break down over time or because of an injury. The result is often a sore lower back, hip or groin. SI fusion, a minimally invasive procedure designed to stabilize the SI joint, can stop ongoing pain in its tracks. Using a small incision and implant system, we can fuse the SI joint and help you recover faster. Why Luminis Health? Luminis Health has more experience with SI fusion than any other health system in the region. Neurosurgeon Christopher Taleghani, MD, has performed more than 500 SI fusion surgeries. He has also taught courses for other surgeons and providers and has been an invited speaker at national conferences on the subject.

We're devoted to delivering personalized care to help those with nonhealing wounds recover.
Most people who get a cut or blister recover within a short period of time. But roughly seven million Americans experience chronic, nonhealing wounds whenever they're injured. People with diabetes or poor circulation and those who are immobile are at greatest risk for wounds that won't heal without specialized intervention. We're devoted to delivering personalized care to help those with nonhealing wounds recover. We treat patients with diabetic ulcers, failed skin grafts, bed sores, radiation burns, gangrene and other complications. Why Choose Luminis Health Our team specializes in compassionate wound care. Trust us for your care because: We understand the underlying conditions that make it difficult for wounds to heal, including diabetes, vascular disease, arterial disease or radiation injuries; we can tailor care to your circumstances. We answer questions about dressing techniques and provide supplies, as needed, to increase your chances of success. More than 95% of Luminis Health Wound Center patients who follow their treatment regimens experience successfully healed wounds., Why Early Intervention Helps Wound Healing Some people may not realize right away they have a wound that isn't healing. Others may wait for several weeks before they seek medical intervention, hoping instead the wound will get better on its own. Your primary care provider, dermatologist or vascular interventionist can help you determine if a wound is not healing effectively and refer you to the Luminis Health Wound Center. The sooner you seek treatment for a non-healing wound, the easier it may be to recover. Wounds that remain open for longer periods are more likely to develop infections or evolve into difficult-to-heal skin ulcers. Wound-healing treatments that begin promptly are less likely to involve complications. At the Luminis Health Wound Center, we ask about your health history, assess your injury, and determine how much oxygen and blood flow reach your wound. All this influences your ability to heal. We then create a personalized treatment plan to help you recuperate.
