Knee Pain Treatment: What is Genicular Artery Embolization?

In this video, we explore Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE), a minimally invasive procedure for treating knee pain. Learn about the benefits, risks, and what to expect during the procedure.
Genicular Artery Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce knee pain, especially if you suffer from osteoarthritis.

Here's how it works- a tiny catheter is inserted through a small nick in your skin, and guided to the blood vessels supplying your knee.

Tiny particles are then released to block these vessels, decreasing inflammation and pain. The benefits? Less pain, shorter recovery time,and it's done without major surgery! But like any procedure, there are risks like infection or bleeding, so it's important to discuss with your doctor.

So, if knee pain is holding you back, ask your doctor about Genicular Artery Embolization. It could be the step you need to get moving again. Don't let knee pain slow you down!
