Procedure
The treatment typically takes for approximately 10 minutes. It involves applying local
anesthesia to the wrist, ankle, or the top of the foot, depending on the target area.
Then inserting a thin tube, similar to the one used for intravenous infusion, into an artery. Through this tube, tiny particle made of antibiotics are administered. The tube is extremely thin, and the procedure only require a few minutes of gentle compression, allowing patients to return home immediately. There are no restrictions on showering or bathing on the same day of the treatment.
Treatment Outcome
Based on a survey of individuals who have undergone this treatment, approximately 70% reported a reduction in pain by half or more compared to their pre-treatment levels. It's important to note that very few experience complete pain elimination; instead, this treatment is recommended for alleviating severe pain rather than eradicating it entirely. The treatment's effects may not be immediately noticeable but are typically observed around 3 to 4 weeks after the procedure. In some cases, our doctor may suggest undergoing the treatment multiple times for further improvement
