Living with knee pain from osteoarthritis can be tough. Simple actions like walking, climbing stairs, or standing for a long time can cause constant discomfort. At IMIIT, we understand the toll this takes on your quality of life. That’s why we offer image-guided, non-surgical treatments like genicular artery embolization that provide real relief without excessive downtime or a hospital stay.
Knee osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of chronic pain in adults, affecting an estimated 365 million people worldwide. Left untreated, it can gradually erode mobility, independence, and overall quality of life.
Many people know about invasive procedures like knee replacement. However, few realize there are less invasive treatments that can help without major surgery.
At IMIIT, we specialize in Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE)—a safe, minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by knee osteoarthritis. During the procedure, doctors inject tiny particles into the genicular arteries to block abnormal blood flow that contributes to inflammation.
