After your procedure

What changes when the pain stops

Walk without thinking about it

Take the dog out, push the cart through the store, stroll with your partner after dinner — without bracing for every step.

Get back to what you love

Golf, hiking, gardening, chasing the grandkids — return to the activities your knees have been quietly vetoing.

Rely less on pain medication

Most patients significantly reduce or stop pain medication after a successful RFA, under their provider's guidance.

The procedure

Simple. Precise. Effective.

Genicular RFA uses radiofrequency energy to interrupt the small sensory nerves carrying pain signals from your knee. Ultrasound-guided. Under an hour. Home the same day.

01 / 03

Diagnostic Block

A quick nerve block confirms the genicular nerves are driving your pain — and predicts how well RFA will work for you.

02 / 03

RFA Treatment

Under ultrasound guidance, targeted radiofrequency energy interrupts the pain signal. You're comfortable throughout.

Get Moving

Most patients resume normal activity in one to two days. Relief typically begins within weeks and lasts six to twelve months or longer.

Common questions

What patients ask before booking

Will my insurance cover this?

Many patients use CareCredit financing or pay directly, with cash-pay and military / first-responder discounts available. Our team can walk through your options during your free consultation.

Does the procedure hurt?

You're comfortable throughout. Local anesthesia and ultrasound guidance keep the procedure well-tolerated — most patients describe pressure rather than pain.

How is this different from a knee replacement?

Genicular RFA targets the nerves carrying pain signals — it doesn't replace or repair the joint itself. It's a non-surgical option many patients use to delay or avoid surgery, or to manage pain when surgery isn't the right fit.

Who is a good candidate?

Most candidates have chronic knee pain, often from osteoarthritis, that hasn't responded well to conservative treatment. A diagnostic nerve block during your first visit helps confirm whether RFA is likely to work for you.

How many treatments will I need?

Many patients return for repeat treatments as relief fades — typically every six to twelve months. Your provider builds a plan around how you respond.
