NEWPORT NEWS PAIN PHYSICIAN PERFORMS FIRST SI JOINT FUSION IN VA, MD, & DC AREA USING LINQ SYSTEM


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."
