Elbow and Hip Embolization Now Available at Restore Muscle and Joint

Two of the most stubborn joint pain conditions we see — chronic elbow tendinopathy and chronic hip pain — now have a powerful new treatment option at Restore Muscle and Joint: embolization.

Elbow Embolization: Hope for Tennis & Golfer's Elbow

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) are notoriously difficult to treat. Patients often try months of bracing, physical therapy, dry needling, and even multiple steroid injections — only to have the pain return.

Elbow embolization works differently. Instead of treating the symptoms, it targets the abnormal blood vessels that have grown into the inflamed tendon, fueling chronic pain. By blocking these vessels, the tendon can finally calm down and heal.

Ideal candidates include patients with:

• Tennis or golfer's elbow lasting more than 3 months
• Pain that returns after steroid injections
• A desire to avoid surgery
• Chronic gripping pain that affects daily activities

Hip Embolization: An Alternative to Hip Replacement

Hip osteoarthritis affects millions of Americans, and while hip replacement is highly effective, many patients aren't ready for major surgery — or simply aren't candidates due to age, health conditions, or lifestyle.

Hip embolization offers a minimally invasive bridge. By reducing the inflammatory blood supply to the arthritic hip, the procedure can dramatically reduce pain and improve mobility — often delaying or eliminating the need for hip replacement.

Ideal candidates include patients with:

• Mild to moderate hip osteoarthritis
• Chronic groin or hip pain
• Pain unrelieved by NSAIDs, PT, or injections
• A desire to delay or avoid hip replacement surgery

What Both Procedures Have in Common

• Outpatient — go home the same day
• No general anesthesia
• Tiny catheter access — no incisions or stitches
• Quick recovery — most patients resume normal activity within days
• Long-lasting relief — many patients report sustained improvement for years
