If you’re dealing with chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis, it can feel like finding relief is impossible. However, there’s a treatment option available at Apollo Pain Management that might be the solution for you: Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA). This minimally invasive procedure targets the nerves in your knee, providing long-lasting pain relief without surgery.
What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition where the protective cartilage in your joints wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. In the knees, OA can severely limit your ability to walk, stand, or even perform everyday tasks.
How Does Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation Work?
Cooled RFA is a procedure where we use a small probe to target the genicular nerves around your knee, which are responsible for sending pain signals to your brain. By using cooled radiofrequency energy, we deactivate these nerves, significantly reducing pain. Unlike other treatments that offer short-term relief, cooled RFA provides lasting benefits.
The study attached to this article showed that 76.5% of patients who underwent cooled RFA experienced significant pain relief after just three months, compared to only 33% in the placebo group(Effectiveness of the Co…). This finding proves that cooled RFA is more effective than many other available treatments, including injections or medications.
