Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation

Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation

What it Treats

Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is used to provide long-term relief for chronic knee pain, often caused by osteoarthritis or other degenerative joint conditions. It is typically considered for patients who experienced significant pain relief from a diagnostic genicular nerve block.

How the Procedure Is Performed

The procedure is performed using imaging guidance, such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound, to accurately place radiofrequency electrodes near the genicular nerves surrounding the knee joint. Controlled radiofrequency energy is applied to the nerves to disrupt pain signals, providing longer-lasting relief compared to diagnostic injections.

Dr. Barrett Johnston and his staff have been phenomenal in helping me manage my pain caused by a horrific car crash in May of 2016. Caring, empathetic, professional and kind hearted are the words that come to my mind to describe Dr. Johnston's entire team. I highly recommend him if you need help in managing any kind of pain.
Thanks Dr. Johnston!
