Overview

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions affect the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and nerves, often causing pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility. These problems can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.Interventional Radiology provides minimally invasive, image-guided treatments for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, specialists can deliver highly targeted treatments directly to the affected area, improving accuracy and effectiveness.

Our MSK treatment services include:

  • Joint Injections

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment

  • Trigger Finger Treatment

  • Nerve Blocks / Ablation / Neurolysis

  • TAME (Transarterial Micro embolisation)

  • GAE for Osteoarthritis Knee

These treatments help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support faster recovery without major surgery.

What are Joint Injections?

Joint injections involve delivering medications directly into a joint to relieve pain and inflammation.

These injections are commonly performed in:

  • Shoulder

  • Knee

  • Wrist

  • Elbow

The procedure is typically guided by ultrasound or fluoroscopy, ensuring precise placement of medication.

Conditions Treated

  • Arthritis

  • Joint inflammation

  • Tendinitis

  • Sports injuries

  • Chronic joint pain

Benefits

  • Targeted pain relief
  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • Quick treatment time
  • Improved joint mobility

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist becomes compressed, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers.

Treatment

Image-guided injections or minimally invasive procedures can reduce inflammation and relieve pressure on the nerve, improving hand function.

Common Symptoms

  • Numbness in fingers

  • Wrist pain

  • Weak grip strength

  • Tingling sensation in the hand

Trigger Finger

What is Trigger Finger?

Trigger finger occurs when the tendon in the finger becomes inflamed, causing the finger to lock or catch when bending or straightening.

Treatment

Minimally invasive injections can reduce tendon inflammation and restore smooth finger movement.

Common Symptoms

  • Finger stiffness

  • Pain in the palm

  • Clicking or locking sensation

  • Difficulty straightening the finger

Nerve Blocks / Ablation / Neurolysis

What are Nerve Blocks?

Nerve blocks involve injecting medication around specific nerves to interrupt pain signals sent to the brain.

Other Techniques

  • Nerve Ablation – Using heat or energy to disable pain-causing nerves

  • Neurolysis – Destroying problematic nerves that cause chronic pain

Conditions Treated

  • Chronic joint pain

  • Back and neck pain

  • Nerve-related pain syndromes

TAME (Transarterial Micro embolisation)

What is TAME?

Transarterial Micro-Embolisation (TAME) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to treat certain thyroid conditions, including enlarged thyroid nodules or overactive thyroid tissue. During the procedure, a tiny catheter is inserted through a small puncture in the wrist or groin artery and carefully guided to the arteries supplying the thyroid gland using real-time imaging (angiography).

Benefits

  • Minimally invasive treatment
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Long-lasting pain relief
  • Faster recovery compared to surgery

GAE for Osteoarthritis Knee

What is GAE?

Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive treatment used for knee osteoarthritis pain.In this procedure, tiny particles are injected into the genicular arteries (small arteries around the knee) to reduce inflammation and pain.

Benefits

  • Non-surgical treatment for knee pain
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Improved mobility
  • Suitable for patients not ready for knee replacement
