A great option for knee pain and you are in and out within an hour

Genicular is the medical term referring to the knee.⁣
⁣
There are Three Genicular nerves. Two on the femur and one on the medial aspect of the tibia. ⁣
⁣
These nerves have been found to be sensory fibers without motor function. Meaning that they are responsible for a pain in the knee but not for movement of the joint.⁣
⁣
There is one diagnostic injection required. I use 3 mL of 0.5% Marcaine, a stronger numbing medication as it is a larger nerve. ⁣
⁣
If it takes away greater than 50% of the pain then we can move forward to the radiofrequency (RFA) which is the medical term for applying heat next to the nerve.⁣
⁣
This does not “burn” the nerve but rather makes it non-functional as it affects the proteins within the nerve. If the bridge between a painful knee and the brain is disrupted then the pain is significantly improved without changing the anatomy.⁣
⁣
This procedure is a great option for those with medical issues that make it unsafe to undergo surgery. It can also be done in those who still have pain after a total knee replacement.⁣
⁣
