Are you tired of living with chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis? Are you still experiencing knee pain after surgery or joint replacement? Have other treatments left you feeling discouraged and searching for a solution that truly lasts?
At Performance Ortho, we know how knee pain can affect your life. We are here to help you regain mobility and return to your favorite activities.
What is Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a simple procedure. It is done outside the hospital.
This procedure can provide long-lasting relief from knee pain. The pain may be due to arthritis or surgery.
This innovative treatment targets the genicular nerves, which transmit pain signals from your knee to your brain. By gently disrupting these nerve signals, RFA can significantly reduce or even eliminate your knee pain, allowing you to move more freely and enjoy a more active lifestyle.
Is Genicular Nerve RFA Right for You?
If you’ve been diagnosed with chronic knee osteoarthritis and haven’t found relief from other treatment options, genicular nerve RFA could be a viable solution. It may also be effective for managing post-surgical knee pain that hasn’t responded to other therapies.
What Can You Expect During the RFA Procedure?
Our compassionate team will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. You’ll be awake but relaxed, and we’ll use image guidance to precisely target the genicular nerves. The procedure typically takes about 15 minutes, and you can expect to be in our clinic for about an hour to allow for preparation and recovery time.
