Do you hear a popping, clicking, or cracking sound when you bend your knee? It’s a common concern – and while it’s not always serious, it can be an early sign of joint wear or inflammation.
For many people, knee sounds happen when small air bubbles form and burst inside the joint fluid. But if those pops come with pain, swelling, or stiffness, it could mean that the cartilage cushioning your knee is wearing thin – a condition known as osteoarthritis.
As the joint becomes rough or inflamed, the bones and tissues rub together unevenly, creating those sounds. Over time, this can lead to constant pain or limited movement.
The good news is that you don’t have to wait until the pain becomes unbearable. Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) offers a non-surgical way to reduce inflammation and improve comfort without a long recovery period.
GAE can help calm the irritation that causes clicking, stiffness, and pain – helping you move smoothly again.
If your knee is making noises and starting to hurt, our specialists at Zenith Vascular & Fibroid Center can help you understand your options.
