Permanent Joint Pain Relief: No Major Surgery, Faster Healing
We use tiny incisions and advanced mapping to treat the joint without the trauma of open surgery. This means less pain, no hospital stay, and a recovery that only takes weeks.
The Nervexa™ approach doesn’t just mask symptoms; it actually silences the nerve pain signal at the source. We provide a long-term solution.
Nervexa™ is built for everyone, including those considered "high-risk" due to age, high BMI, or diabetes. And, we accept all major insurance providers.
The Nervexa™ protocol is built on elite medical leadership and peer-reviewed science. Our approach is backed by 10 years of clinical data and published in the world’s leading medical journals.
Revolutionary Method
to Relieve Joint Pain
Through knee denervation, Nervexa™ offers a permanent alternative to joint replacement. We identify the nerves transmitting pain and gently reroute them. We “silence” the pain permanently while keeping your joint’s natural function and strength fully intact.

In addition to advanced joint pain procedures, we also specialize in traditional orthopedic surgery of the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and peripheral nerves throughout the body. Our surgical team is dedicated to restoring motion, strength, and function while relieving pain caused by injury, overuse, or degenerative conditions. By combining advanced surgical techniques with highly personalized care, we help patients return to peak performance and daily activities with confidence.
