Chronic pain in the knee or shoulder joint is very debilitating. Knee denervation or shoulder denervation can help.
Unfortunately, chronic pain in the knee or shoulder joint sometimes persists even when all treatment options have been exhausted. However, this need not be the case. Knee joint denervation or shoulder joint denervation offer very good results in such situations.
What is knee denervation?
Knee joint denervation is a procedure for the targeted interruption of pain-conducting nerve fibres at the knee joint. The nerves responsible for transmitting pain are severed, whilst the joint's range of movement is preserved.
Who is suitable for this procedure?
Patients with chronic knee pain in whom conservative therapies have not provided sufficient relief
Treatment-resistant osteoarthritis complaints where joint replacement is not yet necessary
Pain relief as an alternative to or bridge towards more extensive procedures
Preservation of joint function with significant pain reduction
Individual assessment required
Every case is different. Careful diagnostics and consultation are essential to determine whether knee denervation is the right treatment option.
