Discover the Top 5 Knee Pain Treatments at Our Clinics

You’ve just finished a long day at work, but instead of feeling relieved, you’re struggling to climb the stairs to your front door. Your knee feels stiff and swollen, and every step sends a jolt of pain shooting up your leg. You’ve been trying to ignore it, hoping it would go away, but it’s becoming impossible to carry on with your daily activities. Sound familiar? If you’re suffering from chronic knee pain, you’re not alone. Many people, especially as they age or engage in physical activities, experience knee pain that disrupts their quality of life.

At VIP Medical Group, we understand how debilitating knee pain can be, which is why we offer a range of minimally invasive treatments to help you regain your mobility and live pain-free. Our specialized pain management clinics in New York, Long Island, and New Jersey are dedicated to providing cutting-edge treatments tailored to your needs. Whether your knee pain is due to osteoarthritis, a sports injury, or another underlying condition, our board-certified interventional pain doctors can diagnose the root cause and recommend the most effective treatment plan.

In this article, we will explore the top five knee pain treatments available at our clinics, detailing how each option can help you manage pain and improve your quality of life. Contact us to schedule a consultation to discover which knee pain treatment is right for you.

1. Steroid Injections

When knee pain becomes more severe and is not managed by physical therapy alone, steroid injections may be recommended. Steroid injections involve injecting a corticosteroid directly into the knee joint to reduce inflammation and pain. This treatment is particularly effective for those with inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or severe osteoarthritis.

Advantages of Steroid Injections:

  • Quick and effective pain relief
  • Reduces inflammation in the knee joint
  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • Can be performed in an outpatient setting
  • Suitable for patients with inflammatory knee conditions
  • Allows patients to resume daily activities faster

 2. Viscosupplementation

Viscosupplementation is a treatment that involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the knee joint. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the body and acts as a lubricant for the joints. In patients with knee osteoarthritis, the natural hyaluronic acid in the joint decreases, leading to pain and stiffness. Viscosupplementation helps replenish this essential lubricant, making it easier for the knee joint to move smoothly and without pain.

Advantages of Viscosupplementation:

  • Enhances knee joint lubrication
  • Improves mobility and reduces stiffness
  • Non-surgical treatment option
  • Provides longer-lasting pain relief compared to steroid injections
  • Suitable for patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis
  • Minimal side effects and quick recovery

3. Genicular Nerve Block

If your knee pain is chronic and unresponsive to other treatments, a genicular nerve block might be the solution you need. This procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic around the genicular nerves, which are responsible for transmitting pain signals from the knee to the brain. By blocking these nerves, the procedure effectively reduces pain and can provide significant relief for several months.

Advantages of Genicular Nerve Block:

  • Effective for chronic knee pain
  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • Quick recovery time
  • Can provide long-lasting pain relief
  • Ideal for patients who are not candidates for surgery
  • May reduce the need for long-term medication

4. Genicular Nerve RFA

Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a cutting-edge procedure that targets the genicular nerves around the knee. This minimally invasive treatment uses radiofrequency energy to heat and deactivate the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from the knee to the brain, providing long-lasting pain relief. Genicular Nerve RFA is particularly effective for patients with chronic knee pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.

Advantages of Genicular Nerve RFA:

  • Provides long-lasting pain relief
  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • Quick recovery with minimal downtime
  • Effective for chronic knee pain
  • Reduces or eliminates the need for long-term medication
  • Can be an alternative to knee surgery

5. Iovera

Iovera is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment that uses cryoneurolysis to target and freeze the nerves responsible for sending pain signals to the brain. By applying cold temperatures to these nerves, Iovera temporarily disrupts their ability to transmit pain, providing immediate and significant pain relief. This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients with chronic knee pain, including those who may be preparing for or recovering from knee surgery.

Advantages of Iovera:

  • Immediate pain relief after treatment
  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive
  • Can be used as a pre-surgical or post-surgical pain management tool
  • No downtime required after the procedure
  • Targeted treatment with minimal side effects
  • Suitable for patients with various knee pain conditions
