Transarterial Microembolization In Bengaluru
Heel and ankle pain might seem like a small issue to others, but that's until you’re the one living with it every single day. It’s not just discomfort; it’s the way it slowly chips away at your routine, your energy and even your mood. Whether it’s that sharp, stabbing pain of plantar fasciitis with your first step in the morning, or the constant tug of Achilles tendinitis every time you walk, the exhaustion adds up. And over time, it’s not just your foot that hurts, it’s your quality of life that takes a hit.
Fortunately, there are many treatment options for these conditions. Many people try physiotherapy, rest, orthotics or medications, but in some cases, the relief just never comes. And then, surgery may seem like the only option left. But that too comes with its own complications and not everyone is a suitable candidate.
So what if there was a treatment option for heel & ankle pain without surgery? This is where TAME comes into the picture.
What Is Transarterial Microembolization (TAME)?
Transarterial Microembolisation (TAME) is a minimally invasive procedure carried by an Interventional Radiologist. It is done to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain, such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis, without undergoing surgery.
TAME is a targeted procedure that attacks the abnormal tiny blood vessels that develop in response to inflammation in the affected area. These vessels not only aid inflammation but also contribute to chronic pain. During the procedure, your interventional radiologist will use image guidance to insert a thin catheter into the arteries that supply the inflamed region and inject microscopic particles to block these abnormal vessels.
This procedure helps to:
- Lessen inflammation
- Relieve pain
- Promote natural healing
- Decrease nerve irritation
Since TAME is done through a small pin-hole entry, there are no stitches, no scars and no downtime.
Benefits of TAME Over Surgery
Transarterial Microembolisation (TAME) offers a promising alternative to surgery. Here are some potential advantages of the procedure over surgery:
-
Minimally Invasive : Since TAME is performed through a tiny pin-hole in the skin, there’s no stitches, no large incision and no cutting of tendons.
-
Lower Risk of Complications : Because there's no open surgery, the risk of infection, wound healing issues or nerve damage is significantly less.
-
No Downtime : The entire procedure takes about an hour and is done under local anaesthesia. Most patients are discharged within a day.
-
Quicker Recovery : Unlike surgery, which requires weeks or even months of restricted mobility, patients can typically resume light activities within a few days.
-
Preserves Natural Anatomy : TAME doesn't involve cutting or removing tissue, it helps your body to heal naturally.
-
Ideal for Patients Not Fit for Surgery : For those with medical conditions that can make surgery risky, TAME offers a safe, non-surgical option.
