Chronic hip pain and stiffness from osteoarthritis can limit walking, sitting, and sleeping. Soris Pain & Vascular Institute offers hip artery embolization as a minimally invasive treatment that reduces inflammation and pain without joint replacement surgery.
Our physicians evaluate hip osteoarthritis patients with imaging and clinical assessment to determine whether embolization is appropriate. Patients explore this outpatient alternative at our clinics.
Hip osteoarthritis causes deep groin pain, outer hip aching, and stiffness that worsens after sitting or first thing in the morning. The pain often intensifies with activity and improves with rest.
Patients notice reduced range of motion, difficulty bending to tie shoes, and a limp that develops as the joint deteriorates. Climbing stairs and getting in and out of cars become increasingly difficult.
Age-related cartilage breakdown, prior hip injuries, and genetic predisposition are primary risk factors. Hip dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement accelerate joint wear.
Excess body weight places additional stress on the hip joint. Repetitive high-impact activities and occupations requiring prolonged standing contribute to faster cartilage deterioration.
Hip Artery Embolization targets abnormal blood vessels around the hip joint that contribute to inflammation and pain signaling. Tiny particles injected through a catheter block these vessels, reducing inflammation at the source.
The procedure takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes and uses a small puncture in the wrist or groin. Patients return home the same day. Soris Pain & Vascular Institute is among the practices offering this advanced approach.
Soris works alongside orthopedic specialists and physical therapists to develop a comprehensive management plan. Embolization can complement physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, and activity modification.
Related Conditions
Hip osteoarthritis patients may also experience knee osteoarthritis, which responds to genicular artery embolization at Soris. Both conditions share the principle of targeted embolization to reduce pain from abnormal neovascularity.
