Get Relief From
Chronic Knee Pain - Without Surgery!

Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) provides real relief for Chronic Knee Pain.

Genicular Artery Embolizaton

Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure for chronic knee pain — no surgery, no hospital stay, covered by Medicare and most major insurance.

The Procedure - A Different Approach

GAE is performed by vascular surgeons through a small nick in the skin. Using image guidance, we reduce blood flow to the vessels driving chronic inflammation in the knee joint. Most patients go home the same day and notice improvement within 2–6 weeks.

No general anesthesia. No implants. No physical therapy required afterward. Find out if you qualify!

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I've already had surgery on my knee?

Prior surgery doesn't automatically disqualify you. This is best answered in a free consultation with our team.

Am I too old — or not old enough?

Most candidates are 45–85. Age alone is rarely disqualifying. Taking our quiz is the fastest way to get a preliminary sense of your eligibility.

Is this procedure covered by insurace?

We accept a wide range of insurance plans, our coverage specialists work directly with your insurance provider to ensure maximum coverage without any hassle. One of our team members will determine if your insurance will cover it for you.

What's the catch?

There isn't one. GAE isn't right for every patient. That's why we use a qualification process!
