At Vascular & Interventional Specialists we know that living with chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis can be a frustrating journey. You may have tried physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, or corticosteroid injections with only temporary relief. For many, the next step often seems to be major knee replacement surgery. But what if you're not ready for that, or not a good candidate?

For those caught in this difficult position, there is a new beacon of hope. This groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure is providing significant pain relief for patients who felt they had nowhere left to turn.
