Power Spine & Pain: Long-Lasting Knee Pain Relief with Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation
Genicular (knee) radiofrequency ablation is a treatment used to provide long-term pain relief for patients suffering from chronic knee pain. This procedure targets the nerves around the knee joint using heat to reduce or eliminate pain signals.
What Is Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation?
Genicular radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to disrupt nerve activity in the knee, helping to reduce chronic pain. This technique is particularly effective for individuals who have not responded well to other treatments like physical therapy or medications.
Conditions Treated with Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation
This procedure is ideal for treating conditions such as:
- Osteoarthritis of the knee
- Chronic knee pain
- Pain after knee replacement surgery
- Degenerative joint disease
Benefits of Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation
Key benefits include:
- Long-lasting pain relief: Results can last for six months to a year or more.
- Minimally invasive: No major surgery or recovery required.
- Quick recovery: Patients can return to normal activities shortly after the procedure.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Patients typically experience pain relief within a few weeks of the procedure, with the full effects lasting several months or longer. Follow-up treatments can be scheduled if necessary to prolong the benefits.
