MSK Embo - Possible Applications

What if chronic joint pain from osteoarthritis and tendinopathy isn't just "wear and tear"? This episode explores the cutting-edge, minimally invasive world of Musculoskeletal Embolization. Discover the science behind how this procedure targets abnormal blood vessels (angiogenesis) and nerves that contribute to chronic pain. Tune in to learn about: Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE): A deep dive into the procedure for knee osteoarthritis. Learn about the evidence supporting it, who makes a good candidate, and how it provides durable pain relief and functional improvement. Shoulder Embolization: How this technique is used to treat conditions like adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and rotator cuff tears, significantly reducing pain and improving range of motion. Emerging Frontiers: Explore the exciting use of embolization for stubborn sports injuries and tendinopathies, including tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, jumper's knee, and Achilles tendinopathy. This is an essential listen for anyone interested in safe and effective new options for managing musculoskeletal pain and improving quality of life.
