Patient Guide
What is Knee Pain?
Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems affecting people of all ages. It may occur due to arthritis, ligament injury, cartilage damage, overuse, obesity, sports injury or age-related degeneration. Pain may be mild and occasional, or severe enough to affect walking, climbing stairs and daily activities.
Conditions We Treat
Traditional Knee Surgery vs Interventional Pain Management
Image-Guided Knee Pain Treatment
- Minimally invasive procedures
- Day-care treatment
- Faster recovery in selected patients
- Image-guided precision
Common Symptoms of Knee Pain
- Pain while walking, standing or climbing stairs
- Knee stiffness, swelling or reduced range of motion
- Clicking, grinding, locking sensation or pain during twisting
- Instability, giving-way feeling or difficulty bending and straightening the knee
- Pain after prolonged sitting or daily activity
Common Causes of Knee Pain
- Osteoarthritis or knee arthritis causing cartilage wear, pain, stiffness and swelling
- Ligament injury involving ACL, PCL, MCL or LCL after sports injury or trauma
- Meniscus tear with locking, clicking or twisting-related pain
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome from kneecap tracking problems or overuse
- Tendinitis, bursitis, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity or repeated overload on the knee joint
Interventional Treatment Options
- Knee Joint Injection - Anti-inflammatory medicine may be placed inside the joint to reduce pain, swelling and inflammation in selected patients
- Viscosupplementation / Hyaluronic Acid Injection - Helps lubricate the knee joint and improve smoother movement in selected arthritis cases
- PRP Therapy - Platelet-Rich Plasma uses the patient's own platelets to support healing and reduce pain in early arthritis, tendon injury and selected sports injuries
- Genicular Nerve Block - Targets the sensory nerves supplying the knee joint and may help chronic knee arthritis pain, patients unfit for surgery or persistent pain after knee replacement
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for Knee Pain - Thermal or cooled RF can interrupt pain signals from selected knee nerves for longer-duration relief in suitable chronic pain cases
- Ultrasound or Fluoroscopy-Guided Procedures - Image guidance improves accuracy and safety of injections and nerve-targeted procedures
- Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation - Quadriceps strengthening, mobility exercises, weight management and gait correction support long-term improvement
Diagnosis
How Knee Pain Is Diagnosed
Clinical Examination
The doctor evaluates swelling, tenderness, joint stability, movement restriction, walking pattern, locking, clicking and whether pain is coming from the joint, ligament, meniscus, tendon or surrounding tissues.
X-Ray Knee
X-ray is useful for arthritis, joint space narrowing, bone changes, deformity and age-related degeneration.
MRI Knee
MRI helps evaluate ligament injury, meniscus tear, cartilage damage and internal joint structures when symptoms suggest soft-tissue injury.
Ultrasound and Blood Tests
Ultrasound may help assess soft-tissue inflammation or fluid. Blood tests are used in selected inflammatory arthritis cases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
When to Consult
Do Not Ignore Persistent Knee Pain
Pain Persists for Weeks
If knee pain continues despite rest, medicines or basic exercise, a structured evaluation can prevent worsening stiffness and movement loss.
Walking Becomes Difficult
Difficulty walking, repeated swelling or stair-climbing pain needs proper diagnosis before deciding on injections, PRP, RFA or surgery.
Instability or Locking
Giving-way, locking, twisting pain or sudden swelling may indicate meniscus or ligament involvement and should be examined early.
How We Treat It
Image-Guided Knee Pain Relief
Many knee pain patients can be treated without major surgery using minimally invasive interventional pain procedures. At JPRC, the plan is based on clinical diagnosis, X-ray or MRI findings, pain severity, walking limitation and the patient's goals.
- Targets the actual pain source instead of only masking symptoms
- Useful for selected knee arthritis, chronic knee pain and post-replacement pain patterns
- Can reduce painkiller dependence and support faster mobility recovery
- Day-care procedures in suitable patients with image guidance where required
- May delay knee replacement surgery in selected cases when combined with rehabilitation
Diagnosis-Led Care
Healing Beyond Surgery
Knee pain treatment starts with understanding whether symptoms are coming from arthritis, ligament injury, meniscus tear, tendon inflammation, bursitis or nerve-mediated pain.
- X-ray and MRI findings are matched with symptoms
- Clinical examination checks swelling, stability and movement
- Treatment is selected only after the pain source is clear
Advanced Solutions
Reduce Pain, Improve Mobility
Interventional knee pain care may help suitable patients reduce pain, improve walking tolerance and return to daily activity with less dependence on repeated painkillers.
- Reduce knee pain and swelling
- Improve mobility and stair-climbing comfort
- Enhance quality of life with rehabilitation support
Precision Care
Targeted Treatment, Better Mobility
MIPSI-based knee pain care focuses on minimally invasive, targeted relief where suitable. The goal is not just pain control, but better movement and safer daily function.
- Targeted treatment for the painful structure or pain nerve
- Minimally invasive procedures planned with imaging where needed
- Safe and effective care pathway before major surgery is considered
Procedure Guide
Common Knee Pain Procedures at JPRC
The best procedure depends on diagnosis. Arthritis, ligament injury, meniscus tear, tendon inflammation and nerve-mediated knee pain need different treatment plans.
| Procedure | Often Considered For | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Knee Joint Injection | Inflammation, swelling and arthritis flare-ups | Reduces pain and swelling in selected patients |
| Viscosupplementation | Selected knee osteoarthritis cases | Improves lubrication and smoother movement |
| PRP Therapy | Early arthritis, tendon injury and selected sports injuries | Uses the patient's own platelets to support healing |
| Genicular Nerve Block | Chronic arthritis pain or pain after knee replacement | Targets knee pain nerves and helps confirm RFA suitability |
| Knee RFA | Selected chronic knee pain patients | Longer-duration pain relief by interrupting pain signals |
Rehabilitation Matters
Procedures work best when combined with quadriceps strengthening, mobility exercises, weight management, gait correction and activity guidance.
Patient Awareness Message
Not every knee pain patient requires surgery. Early diagnosis and targeted interventional pain management can help reduce pain, improve mobility and enhance quality of life. If knee pain persists for weeks, walking becomes difficult, swelling repeatedly occurs or daily activities are affected, consult a pain or orthopedic specialist.
FAQs
Can knee pain be treated without knee replacement?
Yes. Many knee pain patients can be managed without knee replacement using diagnosis-led treatment such as joint injections, PRP therapy, viscosupplementation, genicular nerve block, RFA and rehabilitation. Suitability depends on examination and reports.
What is PRP therapy for knee pain?
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, uses the patient's own platelets to support healing and reduce pain. It is commonly considered in selected early arthritis, tendon injuries and sports injury cases.
What is genicular nerve RFA for knee pain?
Genicular nerve RFA uses controlled heat energy to reduce pain signals from selected knee nerves. It may provide longer-duration relief in suitable chronic knee arthritis pain or persistent pain after knee replacement.
When should I consult a specialist for knee pain?
Consult if knee pain persists for weeks, walking or stairs become difficult, swelling keeps recurring, the knee feels unstable, or daily activity is affected.
