๐ I recently visited the IR Clinic in Tokyo, Japan where a lot of papers on joint embolization originated. Medicine requires an ongoing commitment to learning to ensure that our patients receive the most advanced care available.
Millions of people live with chronic joint and tendon pain โ from frozen shoulder that limits daily activity, to knee arthritis that makes every step hurt, to plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinopathy that stop you from staying active. For years, the main options were medications, injections, or surgery. But now thereโs another path: embolization.
๐ฉโโ๏ธ What is embolization?
Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an Interventional Radiologist. Using advanced imaging, a catheter is guided through a tiny pinhole in the wrist or groin into the blood vessels that supply the painful area. Dissolvable particles are released to block the abnormal blood flow that fuels pain and inflammation โ all while sparing healthy tissue.
โจ Patients go home the same day. No stitches. Less downtime. No large incisions. Just targeted treatment and lasting relief.
โ
Conditions that can benefit:
โขโFrozen shoulder โ better motion and pain relief
โขโKnee arthritis โ less pain, more mobility, fewer surgeries
โขโPlantar fasciitis โ relief from stubborn heel pain when other therapies fail
โขโAchilles tendinopathy โ reduced pain and improved tendon function
๐ฒ No need for you to go to Japan. We have been doing these treatments here in Los Angeles. Contact today to learn if embolization could be the solution for you

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is a hidden but very real cause of chronic pelvic pain in women. It happens when varicose veins develop around the uterus and ovaries.
๐ก This patient underwent a non-surgical treatment called Pelvic Vein Embolization โ where we use tiny coils and a sclerosant foam to close off those abnormal veins.
๐ Studies show embolization can significantly reduce pain and improve quality of life for women with PCS.
๐ What is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?
โข Varicose veins of the pelvis (like varicose veins in the legs, but around the ovaries/uterus).
โข Occurs in up to 15% of women, especially those with multiple pregnancies.
โข Symptoms: chronic pelvic pain ๐ฃ, heaviness, pain worse after standing, during/after sex, or around periods.
โจ Why Embolization?
โข Outpatient procedure โ๏ธ
โข No stitches, no big incision โ๏ธ
โข No general anesthesia โ๏ธ
โข Quick recovery โ๏ธ
โข Walk out with just a Band-Aid ๐
๐ If you have chronic pelvic pain that hasnโt been explained, ask about pelvic congestion

Not every day in medicine is easy. There are times we must deliver heartbreaking news, and those moments weigh heavily. ๐
But then there are days like this โ when we get to see hope fulfilled. ๐ Three years ago, I performed a Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR) procedure that helped restore a patientโs fertility. Today, I had the privilege of meeting her beautiful 2.5-year-old son as a result of that journey.
Moments like these remind me why I chose this path โ and they give strength to carry patients through the most difficult conversations.
โจ About FTR
A minimally invasive procedure that reopens blocked fallopian tubes using X-ray guidance and fine instruments, often allowing women to conceive naturally without major surgery.
These stories keep us going. ๐

This is the fluid that was removed from a large spermatocele that was putting major pressure on the testicle and scrotum โ essentially like carrying around an oversized breast implant in the scrotum stretching out the skin ๐ณ This was almost 2 liters.

A spermatocele is a fluid-filled cyst in the scrotum, often containing sperm and clear or milky fluid. It usually forms from a blockage in the epididymal tubes. Though typically benign, large ones can cause discomfort, swelling, or even pain.
