    Expanding Our Embolization Program: Now Treating Shoulder, Elbow, and Hip Pain

    We're excited to share a major milestone for our patients in the Kansas City Northland and across the region. Restore Muscle and Joint is officially expanding our minimally invasive embolization program to include three new treatment areas: shoulder, elbow, and hip.

    That means our vascular pain intervention suite now offers embolization for five major joint regions:

    • Knees (Genicular Artery Embolization)
    • Feet (Plantar Fasciitis Embolization)
    • Elbows (Tennis & Golfer's Elbow Embolization)
    • Shoulders (Frozen Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Embolization)
    • Hips (Hip Pain Embolization)

    Why This Expansion Matters

    For years, patients with chronic joint pain have been forced to choose between two extremes: live with the pain and rely on injections, or undergo invasive surgery with long recovery times. Embolization offers a powerful third option.

    By targeting the abnormal blood vessels that drive chronic inflammation inside a painful joint, embolization addresses the root cause of pain — not just the symptoms. The procedure is performed through a tiny catheter, requires no general anesthesia, and most patients walk out the same day.

    What's New: Shoulder, Elbow, and Hip

    Shoulder Embolization is helping patients with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) and chronic rotator cuff pain who haven't responded to physical therapy or steroid injections.

    Elbow Embolization is changing the game for tennis elbow and golfer's elbow sufferers — conditions notoriously resistant to conservative care.

    Hip Embolization offers new hope for patients with chronic hip osteoarthritis pain who aren't ready for or can't tolerate hip replacement surgery.
