Understanding Genicular Nerve Ablation-Chronic Knee Pain
Chronic knee pain, often linked to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury, can significantly impact daily life. Genicular nerve ablation is a minimally invasive approach that targets pain-transmitting nerves in the knee using radio frequency technology. By applying controlled heat, these nerve pathways are deactivated, providing lasting pain relief by interrupting pain signals. This process offers a potential solution for those unresponsive to conventional treatments, helping to improve everyday functioning.
Symptoms of Chronic Knee Pain:
- Persistent discomfort even after conventional treatments
- Limited mobility, hindering daily activities.
- Reduced quality of life due to constant pain
- Disruption of sleep, mood, and overall well-being
Genicular Nerve Ablation Treatment:
- A minimally invasive procedure
- Precise targeting of pain-transmitting nerves
- Performed under light sedation
- Short recovery time compared to traditional surgery
Benefits of Genicular Nerve Ablation:
- Long-lasting Relief: Offers enduring pain reduction beyond standard treatments
- Enhanced Mobility: Improved ability to perform daily tasks and activities
- Minimally Invasive: Less trauma compared to open surgery
- Improved Quality of Life: Reduced pain leads to improved sleep, mood, and overall well-being
- Reduced Reliance on Medications: Potential to decrease dependence on pain medications
