Penny L. Restoring Stability and Confidence After Years of SI Joint Pain
For more than eight years, Richard lived with persistent low-back pain that affected nearly every part of his day. The added strain on his body made the discomfort difficult to manage, and daily activities required frequent breaks or pain medication.
Treatments That Helped…
But Didn’t Last
Penny’s struggle with low-back and hip pain began in 2021. She tried multiple conservative treatments such as SI injections, radiofrequency ablations and physical therapy to regain control of her symptoms. While each option offered temporary relief, the pain inevitably returned once the effects wore off.
Over time, Penny also noticed growing instability while standing and walking. Her symptoms progressed to the point that she could no longer enjoy paddle boarding—an activity that once brought her confidence and joy. When she was eventually told that all available treatment options had been exhausted, Penny felt increasingly hopeless about finding long-term relief
Why Penny Finally Chose LINQ
During a trip to Chile, Penny’s discomfort escalated to the point where routine walking and sightseeing became difficult, prompting her to consider a more definitive solution. After returning home, she sought further evaluation, and with confirmation that her symptoms were related to the SI joint, she explored her options. Guided by her care team’s recommendations, Penny chose the LINQ procedure as the next step in addressing her SI joint–related challenges.
Post Procedure: Early Improvement
Following the LINQ SI joint stabilization procedure, Penny noticed immediate changes. Her pain decreased significantly, and she quickly sensed improved balance and stability while standing and walking. As she continued to heal, she felt steady progress without the return of the recurring symptoms that once disrupted her day-to-day life.
Now: Freedom to Enjoy Life
Her biggest milestone was returning to yoga, where she can now hold tree pose again after years of difficulty. She is grateful for stability, comfort, and renewed quality of life made
possible by Dr. Garcia and LINQ.
