Hip osteoarthritis can be life-altering. Stiffness, swelling, and deep aching pain make walking, sitting, or even sleeping a daily struggle. If you’re looking for real relief without surgery, hip embolization may be the answer.
The Leg Pain Clinic, under the care of Dr. Bilal Anwer, now offers Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) adapted for the hip joint—a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment for patients suffering from chronic hip pain caused by osteoarthritis.
What Is Hip Embolization?
Hip embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the inflammatory blood vessels in the hip joint that contribute to osteoarthritis pain. Using image guidance, Dr. Anwer threads a micro-catheter through a pinhole in the groin or wrist and delivers microscopic particles to block these abnormal vessels.
This reduces inflammation and pain signals—without damaging the joint or surrounding tissue—and promotes better function and comfort.
Who Is It For?
Hip embolization is ideal for patients with moderate-to-severe hip osteoarthritis who:
– Are not ready or eligible for total hip replacement
– Have tried physical therapy, injections, and medications without success
– Want long-term pain relief without surgery
Benefits of Hip Embolization:
– No general anesthesia
– No surgical incisions or hardware
– Outpatient procedure
– Minimal recovery time
– Effective relief of hip stiffness, inflammation, and pain
