Living with knee pain from osteoarthritis can be tough. Simple actions like walking, climbing stairs, or standing for a long time can cause constant discomfort. At IMIIT, we understand the toll this takes on your quality of life. That’s why we offer image-guided, non-surgical treatments like genicular artery embolization that provide real relief without excessive downtime or a hospital stay.
Understanding Chronic Knee Pain
Knee osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of chronic pain in adults, affecting an estimated 365 million people worldwide. Left untreated, it can gradually erode mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. Many people know about invasive procedures like knee replacement. However, few realize there are less invasive treatments that can help without major surgery.
Knee osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions your knee joint gradually wears away, causing bones to rub together. This leads to stiffness, swelling, and pain that worsens over time.
Knee osteoarthritis develops from a combination of factors such as aging, previous knee injuries, genetics, bone deformities, obesity, and repetitive stress on the joints.
Without treatment, osteoarthritis can worsen, leading to severe pain, limited mobility, and even loss of independence. Early intervention can help you maintain an active lifestyle and avoid major surgery.

Dr. Singha has helped me out so much. I have seen five different doctors and all of them kept offering the same option to get a myomectomy done but I knew there had to be a better option out there. A huge thanks to my primary doctor who introduced me to Dr. Singha. As soon as I received my first consultation I could already see that Dr. Singha knew exactly what he was doing and talking about, I was able to trust him right away. The staff has been the best and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Now it has been a few months that I have received the UFE procedure and I can already tell the difference in my periods. Very light bleeding and almost no cramps at all. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Singha and all the staff who has been very supportive.
I’m very grateful with Dr. Singha’s office. The doctor and his staff and Ms. Sandra are very attentive and professional.
Dr. Singha is really very nice and explained everything very well. Ms. Sandra is always pleasant to speak to and does not get upset when I call her multiple times with the same questions over and over.
This office inspires me confidently.
Awesome staff and Doctor couldn’t get my praise more. The Doctor gave his time and knowledge to diagnose me and helped me with everything. Staff was so sweet and helpful. Best Doctor and Staff.
Dr. Singha and staff have been great from the start. Have had several procedures and all have been great. Very professional and courteous staff. Very satisfied with level of care.
I had several vein surgeries. Professional and helpful staff here. Very happy with the level of care.
His office provides vascular & interventional radiology. From the moment I walked in service and care was exceptional. The person at the front desk, the assistants and the doctor were both professional and very kind and friendly. Dr. Singha took his time to explain everything in terms I could understand. He even explained results about something I was told at my primary’s office which I didn’t understand. For both things he showed me as he explained on the screen on the laptop. He made sure I completely understood, how severe or mild things were and what to do. He was the most thorough and patient doctor I’ve ever been to in my over 60 years of life.
