Genicular Nerve Ablation: A Solution for Knee Pain Relief

What is Genicular Nerve Ablation?

Genicular nerve ablation is a treatment for chronic knee pain. This procedure can help if other treatments haven’t worked. At Red Butte Pain Solutions in Chandler, AZ, we offer this option to help you feel better.

How Does Genicular Nerve Ablation Work?

The genicular nerves send pain signals from your knee to your brain. In this procedure, a special needle is used to target these nerves. Heat is applied to the nerves to block the pain signals. This can give you knee pain relief for several months.

Who Can Benefit from Genicular Nerve Ablation?

If you have chronic knee pain that doesn’t go away, this treatment might help. It’s good for people with knee arthritis or pain after knee surgery. Our clinic in Chandler, AZ serves patients from Sun Lakes, Tempe, Ahwatukee, Maricopa, and Casa Grande, AZ.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • Preparation: You will lie down and the area around your knee will be cleaned.
  • Local Anesthetic: A small amount of numbing medicine will be given to your knee.
  • Needle Insertion: The doctor will insert a needle into the knee area.
  • Heat Application: The needle will send heat to the genicular nerves to block pain signals.
  • Aftercare: You might feel some soreness for a few days.

Benefits of Genicular Nerve Ablation

  • Pain Relief: Many people feel less knee pain after the procedure.
  • Quick Recovery: Most people return to normal activities within a few days.
