Knee pain
The first step to relief is understanding
Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of pain and disability in the knee.1 This occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the end of your bones breaks down, causing the bones within the joint to rub together. If you’ve been living with knee pain, get the care you deserve.
Contact your doctor if your knee is exhibiting:2
- Gradual increase in pain
- Swelling or tenderness
- Buckling and locking
- Cracking or popping sounds
- Poor range of motion
- Deformities of the knee
RFA may be a treatment option
Genicular RFA is an option for treating knee pain without surgery. By selectively applying radiofrequency waves to the nerves surrounding the knee, providers can help relieve knee pain due to osteoarthritis. The entire procedure is performed outside the knee joint and may be used for patients that have failed conservative and surgical treatments or are not candidates for surgery.5
