Knee pain can drastically impact daily life, affecting mobility and making even simple activities challenging. At RIA Endovascular, we understand the complexities of knee pain and provide a range of advanced, minimally invasive treatments to help patients find lasting relief. Our specialists use image-guided techniques to target and treat the source of pain, improving function and quality of life.
Knee pain can arise from various conditions, including arthritis, injuries, and vascular issues. Many patients come to RIA Endovascular seeking relief from chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis, which can lead to inflammation, stiffness, and discomfort. Other patients experience pain as a result of knee injuries, particularly if they've had prior surgeries or structural issues.
At RIA Endovascular, we focus on minimally invasive procedures that provide effective pain relief with shorter recovery times than traditional surgery. Some of our treatments include:
Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE): This procedure is a promising option for patients with osteoarthritis-related knee pain. GAE works by reducing blood flow to specific arteries around the knee, which can decrease inflammation and alleviate pain. Our team uses image guidance to pinpoint the arteries contributing to pain and safely blocks them, providing relief without the need for open surgery.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): RFA targets nerves in the knee responsible for transmitting pain. By using heat generated from radiofrequency energy, this procedure can disrupt pain signals, offering months or even longer of relief for chronic knee pain sufferers.
Our minimally invasive procedures offer numerous benefits, such as reduced pain and faster recovery times compared to traditional surgery. These treatments can often be completed in an outpatient setting, allowing patients to return home the same day.
Our team at RIA Endovascular includes highly trained interventional radiologists dedicated to providing personalized care. We understand that each patient’s knee pain is unique, so we take the time to develop tailored treatment plans that meet individual needs and health goals.
