Explore genicular artery embolization in Kansas City at Restore Muscle and Joint.
At Restore Muscle and Joint in Kansas City, Missouri, we are committed to providing effective, long-lasting solutions for our patients suffering from osteoarthritis. One such innovative treatment is Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE), a minimally invasive procedure that offers significant relief from knee pain. Here, we explore the long-term effects of GAE and how it can transform the lives of those living with osteoarthritis.
Understanding Genicular Artery Embolization
Genicular Artery Embolization is a procedure that involves the selective blocking of small arteries in the knee to reduce inflammation and pain associated with osteoarthritis. This is achieved through the use of tiny particles that are injected into the arteries, effectively cutting off the blood supply to the inflamed areas. The procedure is quick, typically lasting less than an hour, and is performed by our highly skilled interventional specialists.
Long-Term Effects and Benefits
Studies have shown that GAE can provide significant, lasting pain relief for patients with osteoarthritis. Key long-term benefits include:
- Sustained Pain Reduction: Many patients report continued pain relief for 12-24 months or more after the procedure.
- Improved Mobility: As pain decreases, patients often experience improved joint function and the ability to return to activities they had previously given up.
- Reduced Medication Use: Many patients are able to reduce or eliminate their reliance on pain medications.
- Delayed or Avoided Surgery: For many patients, GAE can delay or even eliminate the need for knee replacement surgery.
