A new approach to stubborn knee and heel pain.
Chronic knee or heel pain not responding to physiotherapy or injections? TAME is an innovative catheter-based procedure that reduces abnormal blood vessels causing persistent pain and inflammation.
Understanding TAME Procedure
Trans-Arterial Micro-Embolisation (TAME), also called Genicular Artery Embolisation (GAE), is an innovative minimally invasive treatment for chronic musculoskeletal pain. It targets abnormal new blood vessels (neovascularity) that grow around painful joints and tendons, contributing to persistent inflammation and pain.
Research shows that chronic knee osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, and tennis elbow develop clusters of tiny abnormal blood vessels and accompanying nerves that perpetuate a cycle of inflammation and pain. TAME blocks these vessels, breaking the pain cycle without surgery or steroid injections.
How Does TAME Work?
Advanced interventional techniques provide targeted pain relief through precise image-guided procedures with minimal tissue disruption.
Comprehensive pain assessment combines clinical evaluation with advanced imaging to identify exact sources of discomfort for optimal treatment.
Personalized treatment protocols address individual pain patterns and lifestyle factors ensuring long-term relief and improved quality of life.
Our Treatment Process
Whether you’ve been living with chronic pain for a while or you’ve just started experiencing discomfort that affects your daily activities, we can help identify and treat what’s causing your pain:
1
Comprehensive Pain Assessment
Detailed clinical evaluation combined with advanced imaging helps pinpoint exact pain sources; treatment approach is tailored to your specific condition and pain patterns.
2
Minimally Invasive Pain Intervention
Using precise image guidance, targeted treatments are delivered directly to pain sources through small needle punctures without major surgery or extensive recovery.
3
Recovery & Long-term Management
Most patients experience significant pain relief within days, with comprehensive follow-up care to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans for sustained comfort.
FAQs About The Service
There are many questions about pain management interventions, we have selected frequently asked questions about this service. If you do not see your answer, please contact us.
What types of pain can be treated with interventional techniques?
We treat chronic joint pain, nerve-related pain, arthritis, sports injuries, back pain, and various musculoskeletal conditions using minimally invasive, image-guided procedures for targeted relief.
How long do pain management procedures take?
Most pain interventions take 15-45 minutes depending on complexity. Simple nerve blocks may take 15-20 minutes, while joint therapies or ablations may take 30-45 minutes.
What is the recovery time after pain management treatment?
Recovery is typically quick with most patients resuming normal activities within 24-48 hours. Some procedures may provide immediate relief, while others may take 3-7 days to show full effect.
How long does pain relief last after treatment?
Duration varies by procedure and individual response. Nerve blocks may provide weeks to months of relief, while ablation procedures can offer 6-12 months or longer of significant pain reduction.
