At Regional Vascular Associates we offer both Vertebroplasty
and Kyphoplasty for the treatment of fractures of the spine
associated with tumors or osteoporosis (brittle bones). Our
practice performs these procedures using the best imaging
equipment. The physicians performing this procedure have all
had special training in these procedures in addition to years
of experience placing needles under image guidance. We perform
most of these procedures with conscious sedation (you are
relaxed, but not put to sleep with a tube in your windpipe).
This allows us to keep the risk to a minimum and assures you
the shortest hospital stay possible.
