Hello,

Arthritis in sacroiliac joint is primarily managed by anti-inflammatory drugs, rest and exercises. Arthritis is an age-related degenerative disorder which progresses with time.

Conservative management with pain killers, rest and exercise can help to reduce the pain and inflammation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
