Emage Joint Centers?
When you’re looking for knee pain solutions in Richmond, your options should not be limited to full joint replacement surgery or temporary pain-relief injections. Emage Joint Centers can reduce inflammation, ease discomfort and help you regain essential mobility with the help of outpatient GAE treatment. It’s a more convenient way to get meaningful, lasting relief without having to deal with the long recovery times, inpatient hospital stays or temporary fixes that come with many other knee pain treatments.
Patients First, Always
Emage recognizes your experience with knee pain is unique, and we’re committed to listening, understanding and recommending a treatment that aligns with your goals.
Joint-Preserving Care
Minimally invasive GAE is designed to help you achieve relief without knee replacement. By keeping the joint intact, you also keep future treatment options open.
Calmer Outpatient Experiences
Emage believes your joint care experience should feel more personal than a hospital. Our outpatient care centers are designed with comfort and convenience in mind.
Faster Return to Movement
Most people can resume their daily lives within a few days of their GAE treatment, and many often report noticeable pain relief within a week of their procedure.
Your Richmond
GAE Treatment Experience
Emage takes a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating knee osteoarthritis, and we strive to make the path to better mobility simple, comfortable and clear for each patient.
STEP 1: Initial Consultation
Meet with one of our interventional radiologists in our offices or via telehealth. We’ll discuss your medical history, symptoms, prior therapies and treatment goals, which can help us make a decision about the treatment approach that’s best for you.
STEP 2: Imaging & Treatment Recommendations
We’ll use advanced diagnostic imaging techniques, such as X-rays, MRIs and ultrasounds, to get a clear picture of the extent of your knee osteoarthritis. Based on these findings and your medical history, we may recommend GAE treatment to help you achieve better, lasting pain relief.
STEP 3: Treatment Day
GAE treatments can be performed in the comfort of our fully equipped outpatient offices. There’s no need for a hospital, and you’ll only need local anesthesia or sedation for the procedure.
During your treatment, we’ll use advanced imaging to guide a small catheter to the arteries supplying blood to inflamed areas of the knee. We’ll deliver tiny particles through the catheter and into the artery to reduce abnormal blood flow and inflammation. The catheter is then removed, and the patient is monitored for a few hours before going home later in the day.
Step 4: GAE Recovery
Following the GAE treatment, most people resume their normal daily activities quickly, often within 48 hours and without the need for extensive rehab. Patients often report substantial pain relief within a few days of their procedure.
Throughout the GAE treatment and recovery process, Emage’s team will be there to support, assist and answer any questions. We’ll also equip you with resources to help you continue to manage knee health following your treatment.
