While total knee replacement is considered a pain-relieving procedure, even the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons says it may not relieve all pain, and there is a possibility of residual stiffness and swelling in some patients.
And what if you’re one of them?
Once the knee replacement has been done, and if pain continues beyond the recovery period, treatment becomes a little trickier.
But there’s still hope.
A course of customized physical therapy is often initially recommended. At Flexogenix®, the KinetiFlex® Coaches work directly with the board-certified physicians to address patient specific issues.
And if that doesn’t work?
Always evolving and incorporating cutting-edge treatment options, Flexogenix® now offers genicular nerve blocks. “It’s very similar to cryoneuromodulation except that different nerves are targeted. It’s been beneficial to patients with knee replacements who are experiencing post-surgical pain.” Say the experts at Flexogenix®.
Cryoneuromodulation had an efficacy rate of between 50 and 80 percent. But with genicular nerve blocks, the success rate climbs significantly.
Including prep time, the procedure takes about 20 minutes. The conduction of pain is typically blocked for three to six months.
Imagine: being pain-free for months, playing 18 holes of golf or frolicking with the grandchildren. Contact Flexogenix® today to give yourself the gift of post-surgical comfort.
