Radiology Wales Launches Musculoskeletal Embolisation Service at St Joseph’s Hospital, Newport
Radiology Wales is pleased to announce the launch of an advanced musculoskeletal embolisation service at St Joseph’s Hospital, bringing innovative, minimally invasive pain treatments to patients in South Wales and beyond.
The service is led by Dr Nimit Goyal, a pioneering researcher and clinician in the field of musculoskeletal embolisation. Under his leadership, Radiology Wales is introducing state-of-the-art embolisation techniques designed to address chronic pain by targeting abnormal blood vessels associated with inflammation.
This innovative service offers new treatment options for patients suffering from pain related to:
- Osteoarthritis of the knee
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Greater trochanteric pain syndrome
Musculoskeletal embolisation provides an alternative for patients who have not responded to conservative therapies and wish to avoid or delay surgery. Procedures are performed using advanced image-guided techniques, typically allowing rapid recovery and early return to normal activities.
Patients seeking further information, or wishing to discuss whether musculoskeletal embolisation may be appropriate for them, are encouraged to contact Dr Nimit Goyal at St Joseph’s Hospital to arrange an enquiry or consultation.
