The frequency of knee ablation procedures is largely dependent on an individual's pain management needs and the effectiveness of the initial treatment. Typically, if successful, the effects of knee ablation can last from six months to a year, possibly longer in some cases. However, it's important to note that the nerves targeted during the procedure may regenerate over time, which could lead to the return of pain. In such instances, the procedure can be safely repeated. At San Antonio Pain Consultants, we recommend scheduling a follow-up visit with our team approximately six months post-treatment to assess the long-term success of the procedure and discuss any potential need for subsequent treatments. As always, our primary goal is to ensure the sustained comfort and improved mobility of our patients.
