Renowned musculoskeletal specialists
UHealth’s interventional radiologists are nationally and internationally recognized experts in musculoskeletal embolization, an emerging treatment option for conditions like knee arthritis, frozen shoulder, chronic tendon pain, and other degenerative joint disorders. These physicians are not only highly trained in performing these procedures, they also help develop, refine, and evaluate them through ongoing clinical research, peer-reviewed publications, and global collaboration.
As part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, our team leads and participates in clinical trials, contributes to the latest evidence in musculoskeletal care, and regularly presents at major national and international medical conferences. This ensures every treatment reflects the newest science, best practices, and proven outcomes.
Image-guided pain treatment
Using advanced imaging technology (including ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy), we pinpoint the exact source of joint or tendon pain with exceptional accuracy. Many procedures are performed through a tiny needle or catheter, reducing recovery time, lowering complication risks, and helping patients return to work, sports, and everyday activities sooner.
At UHealth, you receive compassionate, research-driven, and highly personalized care backed by academic medicine and cutting-edge innovation. Our goal is simple: to provide safe, effective, and minimally invasive options that offer lasting pain relief and help you regain your active life.
