💥 Chronic knee pain after joint replacement? You’re not alone — but you don’t have to live with it.

Meet our incredible 90+ year-old patient who struggled with disabling knee pain for years after a total knee replacement. He could barely walk. But after trying genicular nerve stimulation, he experienced unbelievable 90-100% relief — and for the first time in years, this patient is back on their feet and walking strong. 🙌

We recently implanted a permanent knee stimulator, and the patient is doing fantastic.

✅ Minimally invasive
✅ Minimal sedation
✅ Outpatient procedure
