Treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease and Osteoarthritis of the Knee near Palm Springs

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and osteoarthritis of the knee can happen to anyone, but especially as one ages. These degenerative diseases are common but should be taken very seriously, as the adverse effects can cause intense pain and disrupt your life, especially compounded by other conditions which can be a deterrent to effective treatment. If you’re looking for specialists who offer minimally invasive procedures to alleviate PAD and osteoarthritis symptoms, check out AVA Vascular! We are experts in treatments that not only help with pain but also empower you to achieve the lifestyle you deserve.

When someone suffers from PAD, arteries become clogged with fatty plaques, reducing blood flow. This usually manifests in leg cramps, which can range from slight to very painful. Additionally, you may experience seeping wounds, recurring infections, and sores and may potentially require amputation. Here at AVA, we specialize in minimally invasive outpatient procedures for unclogging arteries, which alleviates pain, promotes healing, and helps prevent amputation.

Osteoarthritis of the knee – sometimes described as “wear and tear” arthritis, is usually treated with methods that often do not work, such as injections, medications, and physical therapy. Even after these treatments, many patients are told they still need knee replacement surgery. Not every patient is comfortable with such an intensive procedure or can’t afford the costs but feel helpless to change their situation. Thankfully, now there is another option, which we provide here at AVA Vascular! Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is an interventional radiological procedure that slows blood flow to the synovium, the lining of the knee, which can bring back mobility and minimize pain without intensive surgery.
