Chronic knee pain after you’ve already had a knee replacement can take a toll on your quality of life. Get proven, minimally-invasive care that delivers lasting relief today.

Knee denervation is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat chronic knee pain. This innovative approach is ideal for those who continue to experience knee pain despite a total knee replacement or ongoing pain management treatment. It works by targeting and disrupting the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals. 

By selectively deactivating pain-causing nerves without affecting mobility, knee denervation provides lasting relief—helping you move more freely and comfortably without the need for additional major surgery or prolonged recovery.

Restoring Hope After Knee Replacement:

What to Expect From Knee Denervation

Before the Procedure

  • Before the procedure, your physician will conduct a thorough evaluation, including a medical and surgical history review and diagnostic nerve blocks, to ensure you're an ideal candidate. 

During the Procedure

  • The procedure itself takes less than an hour and is performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation for minimal discomfort.

After the Procedure

  • Most patients can walk immediately afterward and resume light activities within a day or two. While mild soreness may occur, significant pain relief is often noticeable within days to weeks as inflammation subsides.
  • With little downtime and no major surgery required, knee denervation offers long-lasting relief from chronic knee pain, allowing you to regain mobility and return to an active lifestyle, even after knee replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Knee Denervation

How does knee denervation work?

Knee denervation is a minimally invasive procedure that targets specific nerves around the knee responsible for transmitting pain signals. Advanced techniques disrupt these pain pathways, significantly reducing or eliminating chronic knee pain while preserving knee function and mobility.

Will knee denervation leave noticeable scars?

Knee denervation is a minimally invasive procedure that requires only small incisions—typically just a few millimeters in size. Because of this, scarring is minimal and often barely noticeable once healed. Most patients find that any small marks fade over time, leaving little to no visible reminder of the procedure.

This procedure is ideal for patients who have had a total knee replacement and despite all other efforts through rehabilitation and interventional pain management, still have persisting pain symptoms.

How long does the procedure take, and what is the recovery time?
Knee denervation is a quick outpatient procedure, typically taking less than an hour to complete. Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to normal activities within a few days, making it a highly convenient alternative to more invasive surgical options.
How soon will I feel pain relief after the procedure?
Many patients notice a significant reduction in pain within days to weeks following the procedure. The full effects of knee denervation typically improve over time as inflammation subsides, and the treated nerves stop transmitting pain signals.
Is knee denervation a permanent solution for knee pain?
While results vary from patient to patient, knee denervation can provide long-lasting relief for many individuals. Over time, some nerves may regenerate, but if pain returns, the procedure can often be safely repeated to maintain its effectiveness.
