Relief for Chronic Knee Pain
A non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis. No incision, no overnight stay, and a quick return to daily life.
Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that treats chronic knee osteoarthritis. If injections no longer provide relief and you are not ready or ineligible for a knee replacement, GAE is a better option.
Benefits
- No surgical incision or stitches required.
- Offers knee pain relief without frequent medication or injections.
- Outpatient procedure with no hospital stay.
- Most patients return to work within 1-2 days.
- Low complication rate, no impact on future knee replacement.
- Symptom improvement usually within 1-3 weeks.
- GAE is not a substitute for knee replacement and does not negatively affect future surgery.
GAE is right for you if you:
- Experience daily pain from knee osteoarthritis
- Have tried injections, physical therapy, or medications that no longer work
- Are not a candidate for knee replacement or prefer to avoid surgery
- Previously had a knee replacement but still suffer from severe knee pain
- Want a non-surgical option with minimal downtime
