Ally Vascular & Pain Centers is a San Antonio–based medical clinic specializing in minimally invasive, image-guided treatments for chronic pain and vascular conditions. Led by board-certified interventional radiologists, our clinic focuses on treating the root cause of pain, not just managing symptoms, with advanced procedures designed to reduce risk, shorten recovery, and help patients return to daily life faster.
We help patients who want effective relief without major surgery, long hospital stays, or dependence on long-term medications. Using cutting-edge imaging technology, we precisely target problem areas in the body to deliver care that is accurate, personalized, and proven.
Our specialists treat a wide range of chronic pain and vascular conditions using minimally invasive outpatient procedures, including:
At Ally Vascular & Pain Centers, we specialize in interventional radiology—an advanced medical field that uses real-time imaging to treat conditions from inside the body through tiny access points. This allows us to treat pain and vascular disease with significantly less trauma than traditional surgery.
Rather than masking symptoms with medication, our procedures are designed to address the underlying source of pain or dysfunction. By targeting abnormal blood flow, inflammation, or nerve irritation, we deliver lasting relief with fewer side effects.
All procedures are performed in an outpatient setting. Most patients go home the same day, experience minimal downtime, and return to normal activities far sooner than with surgical alternatives.
“Dr Sandeep Rao is a knowledgeable physician. Dr Rao helped reduce my knee pain and was able to walk again to continue with my life after Genicular Artery Embolization procedure. His staff is kind, patient and empathetic. I felt comfortable and welcome when walking into the clinic. I recommend Ally Vascular and Pain Center.”
— Patricia Gomez
Our treatments are guided by advanced medical imaging such as fluoroscopy and ultrasound, allowing our physicians to see exactly where treatment is needed and avoid surrounding healthy tissue. Rather than relying on guesswork, our interventional radiologists use real-time imaging to precisely navigate blood vessels, joints, and soft tissue—ensuring treatment is delivered only where it will be most effective.
This image-guided approach allows for greater accuracy, smaller access points, and significantly less trauma to the body compared to traditional surgical techniques. By targeting the source of pain or dysfunction with precision, we are able to reduce inflammation, restore healthy blood flow, and improve function while preserving surrounding structures.
Ally Vascular & Pain Centers is led by experienced, board-certified interventional radiologists who specialize exclusively in minimally invasive care.
Our physicians combine advanced technical expertise with a patient-first mindset, taking the time to listen, explain options clearly, and recommend only what is truly appropriate for each patient’s condition and goals.
