Musculoskeletal Treatment at VIR Chicago offers advanced and minimally invasive solutions for a range of conditions affecting bones, joints, and muscles. Our goal is to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve the overall quality of life for our patients. With a focus on cutting-edge technology and personalized care, we address issues such as fractures, arthritis, spinal problems, and soft tissue injuries.
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are two procedures used to treat vertebral compression fractures, often caused by osteoporosis. These minimally invasive techniques involve injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it and relieve pain. At VIR Chicago, our experienced specialists perform these procedures using image guidance to ensure accuracy and efficacy, providing patients with rapid pain relief and improved mobility.
Geniculate Artery Embolization for Knee Arthritis
Geniculate Artery Embolization for Knee Arthritis is an innovative treatment for managing chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. This procedure involves blocking the blood flow to the inflamed areas of the knee, reducing inflammation and pain. VIR Chicago is at the forefront of this technique, offering a non-surgical option for patients seeking relief from debilitating knee pain without the need for joint replacement surgery.
Spinal Stenosis Decompression
Spinal Stenosis Decompression (Vertiflex) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve the symptoms of spinal stenosis, a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs. The Vertiflex procedure involves placing a small device in the spine to create space and relieve pressure on the nerves. At VIR Chicago, our specialists utilize this technique to provide patients with significant pain relief and improved function.
Bone and Soft Tissue Ablation
Bone and Soft Tissue Ablation is another advanced treatment option offered at VIR Chicago. This technique uses heat or cold to destroy abnormal bone or soft tissue, such as tumors or lesions. Ablation provides an effective, minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery, resulting in less pain and quicker recovery times.
