New Breakthrough Treatment For Hand Osteoarthritis

from The Heart of Innovation with Kym McNicholas · host The Heart of Innovation

In this episode, host Kym McNicholas and guest co-host Dr. Michael "Misha" Ginsburg" entertain a discussion on innovative treatments for hand and wrist osteoarthritis, featuring both embolization and orthopedic perspectives. Dr. Yuji Okuno, founder of the Okuno Clinic and pioneer of the “Okuno Method,” will share insights on his groundbreaking approach to treating osteoarthritis pain. Since first reporting his technique in 2012, Dr. Okuno has transformed arthritis management by targeting abnormal blood vessels in pain-producing tissues rather than using conventional approaches. The Okuno Method stands out for its ability to address the root cause of osteoarthritis pain with minimal recurrence, normal tissue repair, and no restrictions on daily activities post-procedure. Dr. Assaf Kadar brings the orthopedic surgeon’s perspective to the conversation. As a clinical and academic leader in hand and wrist biomechanics at the HULC bioengineering lab, Dr. Kadar specializes in developing new suspensionplasty hand and digit devices. He’ll provide an overview of the orthopedic approach to hand osteoarthritis and discuss the potential role of hand embolization in the treatment spectrum.  This episode offers a rare opportunity to explore both interventional and surgical approaches to hand osteoarthritis treatment. #TheHeartOfInnovation #Embolization #OsteoarthritisTreatment #HandPain #OrthopedicInnovation #globalpadassociation #padhelp #osteoarthritis #okunomethodSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
