Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) Knee Pain Relief in Houston

Degenerative joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis (OA), is the most common form of arthritis. The cause of OA is typically a repetitive motion over time that causes structural joint damage and inflammation. The inflammation is the cause of pain in the knee joint and it can present with even small levels of trauma. This cycle of inflammation and damage to the joint is the cause of the breakdown of cartilage in patients with degenerative joint disease. Modern Vascular in Houston (Richmond, TX) is now performing a minimally-invasive procedure, genicular artery embolization (GAE), which can reduce OA pain by blocking blood flow to the area, reducing inflammation, which limits the pain.
