Big week at JVI! We had the honor of hosting Shruthi Narayan, President of Penumbra, at our office.

Penumbra is one of the most respected names in interventional medicine and the world's leading thrombectomy company, recently in the headlines for a multi-billion dollar acquisition agreement with Boston Scientific. Shruthi sits at the very top of that organization, and she came to tour our facility and talk through the projects we have underway together.

Visits like this are not routine. They happen because JVI is working at the leading edge of vascular and interventional care, partnering directly with the companies shaping where this field goes next. That partnership is what keeps cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment available right here for our patients.

Grateful to Shruthi and the Penumbra team for the visit. More to come on what we are building together.

Exciting news from Joint & Vascular Institute! 🎉

Yesterday, we officially launched our Regenerative Medicine Program and performed our first two platelet-based treatments.

Our first patient underwent Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), a chronic tendon injury that can be difficult to heal. PRP uses a concentrated portion of the patient’s own platelets and growth factors to support tissue repair and is commonly used for conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinopathy.

Our second patient underwent Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP) therapy for a shoulder labral tear. PPP contains beneficial plasma proteins with fewer inflammatory components and is increasingly being used for mild to moderate osteoarthritis, labral pathology, and certain meniscal injuries.

As interventional radiology specialists, image-guided procedures are what we do every day. Using ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, we can precisely target injured tissues, tendons, joints, and other structures while providing minimally invasive treatment options tailored to each patient.

Many of our patients have been asking about PRP and PPP since we opened our doors. After extensive research, training, and careful evaluation of available systems, we decided to invest in a high-quality platform that allows us to offer both platelet-rich and platelet-poor plasma therapies as part of our comprehensive musculoskeletal practice.

We’re excited to continue growing our musculoskeletal program and offering our patients even more minimally invasive treatment options alongside musculoskeletal embolization, genicular artery embolization (G*E), and peripheral nerve stimulation.

Interested in learning if PRP or PPP may be right for you? Give us a call at (847) 584-3959 or visit www.jointvascular.com to schedule a consultation.

"After being in a wheelchair for 5 years, I just completed my 5 sessions with Joint and Vascular Institute and today I walked all over Walmart with no problem! I am beyond excited and so grateful. The staff at Joint and Vascular Institute are some of the kindest people you could ever hope to meet. They go above and beyond to accommodate you and make you feel cared for. At the beginning, I felt a little pinch in each knee, and after that nothing. I highly recommend this place. This has been life-changing for me!." - Melissa M.

Stories like Melissa’s are why we do what we do. If pain has you relying on a wheelchair or a cane, we want to help you find your stride again. 🙌🏽
