Understanding Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation
Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic knee pain by targeting the genicular nerves that transmit pain signals from the knee joint.
The procedure uses controlled heat generated by radiofrequency energy to interrupt pain signals, providing long-lasting relief.
It is commonly recommended for patients with knee osteoarthritis or persistent knee pain who are not suitable candidates for surgery or want to delay joint replacement.
The treatment is performed under imaging guidance to ensure precise targeting of the affected nerves.
Patients often experience significant improvement in pain and mobility, allowing them to return to daily activities comfortably.
Conditions Treated
- Knee Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease.
- Chronic Knee Pain: Long-term knee discomfort.
- Post-Surgical Knee Pain: Pain after knee surgery.
- Inflammatory Knee Conditions: Joint inflammation.
- Limited Mobility: Difficulty walking or bending.
- Joint Stiffness: Reduced flexibility.
- Recurrent Knee Pain: Pain not responding to treatment.
- Non-Surgical Candidates: Patients avoiding surgery.
Treatment & Recovery Process
Genicular RFA is a structured and precise procedure designed to provide long-term relief by targeting specific knee nerves.
The process includes diagnostic confirmation, targeted nerve treatment, and rehabilitation for improved joint function.
Diagnostic Nerve Block
Temporary nerve block is performed to confirm the source of pain.
Positive response indicates suitability for RFA.
Radiofrequency Procedure
Heat energy is applied to the genicular nerves to block pain signals.
The procedure is safe, precise, and minimally invasive.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Pain relief gradually improves over a few weeks.
Physiotherapy helps restore knee strength and mobility.
Post-Treatment Care Tips
Following proper care ensures long-lasting relief and improved knee function.
Avoid Excess Strain
Limit heavy activities initially.
Follow Exercise Plan
Strengthen knee muscles.
Maintain Healthy Weight
Reduce joint stress.
Regular Follow-up
Monitor recovery progress.
