Heavy periods, pelvic pain and uterine fibroids
 Uterine Fibroid Embolization is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for common, non-cancerous growths on the uterine wall called uterine fibroids. It is normal for women to experience a heavy menstrual period or cramps from time to time. What is not normal is a heavy period that impacts how you live your daily life or pelvic pain that is constant or unbearable.
The good news is that the Interventional Radiologists at Community Hospital offer a minimally invasive, nonsurgical, highly effective, outpatient treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). This procedure is covered by all insurance companies. Our Interventional Radiologists are national leaders in this treatment having performed more than 500 of these procedures.
Varicose veins
Do you suffer from painful, unsightly varicose veins? Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is a highly effective, minimally invasive, nonsurgical, outpatient treatment for varicose veins. This procedure takes less than 60 minutes and patients are able to resume their normal daily activities the day after the procedure.
EVLT is covered by the vast majority of insurance companies. Our Interventional Radiologists are considered national experts in the treatment of varicose veins and offer the full-range of vein treatment including ambulatory (micro) phlebectomy and spider vein sclerotherapy.
Osteoporosis and vertebral compression fractures
Did you know that vertebral (spine) compression fractures are the most common fractures in people with osteoporosis? A vertebral compression fracture (VCF) occurs when one of the bones of the spinal column weakens and collapses. Each year there are more than 700,000 spine fractures, more than hip and wrist fractures combined. Spine fractures are extremely painful, resulting in decreased mobility and appetite, poor lung function, and insomnia.
Balloon Kyphoplasty is a revolutionary treatment for vertebral compression due to osteoporosis or cancer. This outpatient, nonsurgical procedure results in pain relief in greater than 95% of patients. The Interventional Radiologists at Community Hospital are one of the leading centers in the United States performing this procedure.
