Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation
At Advanced Health Solutions, we understand that chronic knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life, making everyday activities challenging and limiting your mobility. Whether it’s climbing stairs, walking, or simply getting out of bed, knee pain can make these activities difficult and painful. That’s why we’re proud to offer cutting-edge treatments like Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation (G-RFA), a minimally invasive procedure designed to provide long-lasting relief from knee pain and help you reclaim your active lifestyle.
What is Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation?
Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation (G-RFA) is a revolutionary procedure that targets the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from the knee joint to the brain. Chronic knee pain can stem from various conditions, including osteoarthritis, previous injuries, or degenerative changes in the knee joint. G-RFA specifically addresses this pain by interrupting the nerve signals, providing significant and sustained relief.
This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who have not found adequate relief from other treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or steroid injections. By using advanced radiofrequency technology, our skilled physicians precisely target the genicular nerves around the knee, effectively reducing or eliminating pain.
For more information about radiofrequency ablation and its applications, you can visit the Wikipedia page on Radiofrequency Ablation.
How Does it Work?
During the Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation procedure, your physician will use fluoroscopic guidance (real-time X-ray imaging) to precisely place small electrodes near the genicular nerves in your knee. These genicular nerves are responsible for transmitting pain signals from the knee joint to the brain. Once the electrodes are in position, radiofrequency energy is delivered through these electrodes, heating the nerve tissue to create a lesion that disables the nerve’s ability to transmit pain signals.
The procedure is minimally invasive, typically taking less than an hour, and is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home the same day. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure, and many report significant pain relief within days to weeks following the treatment. The effects of G-RFA can last anywhere from six months to over a year, and in some cases, patients may need a repeat procedure to maintain the benefits.
