Specialized Knee Pain Care in New Mexico
Expert Relief for Chronic Knee Pain, Delivered Locally
If knee pain has made everyday activities harder—from hiking New Mexico’s beautiful trails to simply climbing stairs—help is closer than you think. At Southwestern Interventional Radiology Institute, we offer precise, non-surgical treatments for a wide range of knee conditions, helping patients across New Mexico reclaim comfort and mobility.
Whether your pain is new or something you’ve struggled with for years, we treat conditions such as:
Osteoarthritis of the knee – Pain from gradual joint wear and inflammation
Chronic and worsening knee pain – That limits mobility and quality of life
Injury-related issues – Including ligament strains, meniscal damage, or joint trauma
Inflamed tendons or bursae – Leading to swelling and tenderness
Runner’s knee or tracking disorders – Pain from kneecap misalignment or repetitive motion
Post-traumatic pain – Lingering symptoms from falls or accidents
With a focus on minimally invasive techniques, including Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE), we provide real alternatives to knee replacement surgery—helping you heal faster, with less downtime.
What to Expect When You Begin GAE Treatment in New Mexico
At Southwestern Interventional Radiology Institute, we deliver personalized care designed around your lifestyle, symptoms, and long-term goals. From first visit to final follow-up, your experience is streamlined and supportive.
Step 1: Evaluation & Screening
You’ll start with an expert evaluation to confirm whether GAE is a good fit for your knee osteoarthritis symptoms. Imaging and health history will guide this step.
Step 2: Consultation with a Specialist
Meet with a board-certified interventional radiologist who will explain the GAE procedure, discuss your options, and answer any questions.
Step 3: Outpatient GAE Procedure
The GAE procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to walk the same day and start light activities within a few days—much faster than recovery after knee replacement surgery.
Step 4: Recovery and Follow-Up
Most patients go home the same day and return to daily activities within 1–2 days. Pain relief typically begins within a few weeks and continues to improve as inflammation subsides.
