Pain management physicians across the country estimate millions of individuals suffer from chronic knee pain at any given time. It is reported knee pain has dramatically increased over the past 20 years as adults remain active well into their older, more mature years. The knee is a sophisticated joint, often making it difficult to both diagnose and treat an injury or condition. Chronic pain, swelling and overall discomfort is commonly caused by osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, cartilage injuries and other soft tissue injuries. A genicular nerve block is an innovative, non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment option designed to treat chronic knee pain when traditional measures have failed. Pain Recovery Center of Tyler now offers this cutting-edge treatment to patients living in the greater Tyler, Texas area. Innovative therapies, such as a genicular nerve block, continue to gain popularity as a safe and effective chronic knee pain treatment. A genicular nerve block, also known as a genicular neurotomy, utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to the genicular nerves. The genicular nerves play an important role by carrying pain signals from the knee joint to the brain and central nervous system. A genicular nerve block begins by placing a small amount of local anesthetic on the genicular nerves. If a patient experiences alleviated pain, a radiofrequency ablation of the genicular nerves is then performed. This form of treatment typically alleviates pain and discomfort in a short amount of time with little to no complications or downtime. Pain Recovery Center of Tyler continues to offer the most innovative treatments for pain, including chronic knee pain. Our pain management physicians are dedicated to finding the best solution for each patient, whether through new or traditional treatments.
