Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure to treat painful spinal compression fractures, often caused by osteoporosis, injury, or cancer.

✅ Benefits: It can relieve back pain quickly, restore vertebra height, improve mobility and quality of life, and is an outpatient procedure with a short recovery time.

💡 How it works: A tiny balloon is inserted into the fractured vertebra to create space, which is then filled with special bone cement to stabilize the fracture and reduce pain.

👉 If back pain from a spinal fracture is limiting your life, call (901) 683-1890 or visit https://www.memphisvascular.com/services/pain-management/ to learn more.

DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs. If untreated, it can break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.

⚠️ Know the warning signs:
• Swelling in one leg
• Pain or tenderness
• Warmth or redness of the skin
• Leg cramps (often starting in the calf)

Risk factors: prolonged sitting (flights, driving), recent surgery, immobility, obesity, smoking, pregnancy, and family history.

💡 The good news? DVT is treatable and often preventable. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to avoiding serious complications.

👉 If you notice these symptoms, talk to your doctor immediately.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is caused by varicose veins in the pelvis that lead to ongoing pain and pressure.

Common symptoms include:
• Dull, aching pelvic pain (worse after standing)
• Pain during or after intercourse
• Heaviness or swelling in the pelvis/legs
• Varicose veins around the pelvis or thighs

The good news? PCS can often be treated with medication, but even if conservative treatments don't work, you still have options. Ovarian Vein Embolization is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that brings real relief. 💜

Big news for women’s health! The official recommendations for breast cancer screening have been updated, and here’s what you need to know:
✅ Start earlier – Screening should begin at age 40 (not 50).
✅ Every year – Most women ages 40–74 should get a mammogram every year.
✅ After 75 – Screening is a personal decision based on your health and life expectancy.

Why the change?
👉 Breast cancer is showing up more often in younger women (40s).
👉 Early detection saves lives.
👉 Earlier screening can help reduce disparities, especially among women of color.

One in 8 women will face breast cancer in her lifetime—but screening helps catch it early, when it’s most treatable.
Visit our specialized imaging center, Diagnostic Imaging, for a mammogram this month! Just call 901.387.2340 or visit diagnosticimagingpc.com.

A common, and treatable, cause of chronic scrotal discomfort may be varicocele—an enlarged vein in the scrotum that can lead to aching or heaviness.

Varicocele Embolization is a minimally invasive solution for relieving this pain. The non-surgical procedure involves only a tiny incision, requires no stitches, and is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients recover quickly and return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.

❌ False!

Pain, cramping, or fatigue in your legs while walking could be a sign of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a serious condition caused by narrowed arteries reducing blood flow to your limbs.

PAD isn't just about leg discomfort; it’s a red flag for your heart health and can increase your risk of heart attack or stroke if left untreated.

🦵 Don't ignore the signs. If walking causes pain that goes away with rest, it’s time to talk to your doctor.
