What is Knee Pain / Plantar Fasciitis?
Dr. Aakash Patel is an interventional radiologist who treats knee pain, plantar fasciitis pain, and frozen shoulder using image-guided techniques and personalized care. Knee pain, a common issue affecting many individuals, is often caused by osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition that leads to the breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint. This can result in discomfort, stiffness, and limited range of motion, particularly in middle-aged and older adults. Dr. Patel offers minimally invasive treatments, such as genicular artery embolization, that aim to reduce knee pain and improve mobility and function in suitable patients.
Frozen Shoulder:
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint due to inflammation and thickening of the connective tissue surrounding the joint. This can result in limited range of motion and significant discomfort, impacting daily activities and quality of life. Dr. Patel offers treatments for frozen shoulder, including injections and other non-surgical interventions, that aim to help patients regain shoulder function and reduce pain. With supportive care and follow-up, Dr. Patel helps individuals manage frozen shoulder and other musculoskeletal conditions; results vary from person to person.
