Dealing with knee pain but not ready for a knee replacement? There’s a new treatment option.

✨ Genicular Artery Embolization (G*E) is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure designed for people with knee osteoarthritis who want to postpone joint replacement.

Here’s what makes G*E different:
✅ No incision
✅ No joint alteration
✅ No general anesthesia
✅ Most people walk out same day

G*E reduces inflammation from the inside out—targeting the vessels that cause pain, swelling, and stiffness. It’s fast, precise, and can bring relief that lasts 6–12 months or longer.

The doctors at VIS of CORA have the most experience offering this revolutionary new treatment in the Bend area.
