In this episode of "Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging," host Wendy Jones welcomes Dr. William Fox, a board-certified vascular and interventional specialist, to discuss innovative, minimally invasive procedures for managing joint pain. The conversation highlights the prevalence of joint pain among seniors and the limitations of traditional surgical options. Dr. Fox emphasizes the importance of addressing inflammation rather than just the symptoms, introducing techniques like genicular artery embolization that target the source of pain without the need for major surgery.

Throughout the discussion, Dr. Fox shares insights on various conditions such as osteoarthritis, golfer's elbow, and plantar fasciitis, explaining how these issues can be effectively treated with less invasive methods. He also touches on the significance of maintaining muscle mass to support joint health and prevent further deterioration. The episode concludes with practical advice for seniors on staying active and the benefits of exploring alternative treatments before resorting to surgery.
