Knee Injections: Effective Pain Relief & Treatment Options

Knee pain can significantly impact mobility and daily activities, making it difficult to walk, exercise, or even stand comfortably. Whether caused by arthritis, injury, or overuse, knee injections offer a minimally invasive solution to reduce pain and inflammation without surgery.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can result from various conditions, including:

• Osteoarthritis – Cartilage degeneration leading to stiffness and pain
• Rheumatoid Arthritis – Chronic inflammation affecting the knee joint
• Meniscus Tears – Damage to the cartilage cushioning the knee
• Patellar Tendonitis – Inflammation of the tendon below the kneecap
• Bursitis – Swelling of fluid-filled sacs in the knee joint
• Ligament Injuries – ACL, MCL, or PCL sprains and tears

Types of Knee Injections for Pain Relief

Knee injections provide targeted relief, reducing inflammation and improving mobility.

1. Corticosteroid Injections

✔ Fast-acting relief for inflammation and swelling
✔ Commonly used for arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis
✔ Effects last weeks to months

2. Hyaluronic Acid Injections (Viscosupplementation)

✔ Lubricates the joint to reduce stiffness and pain
✔ Best for osteoarthritis and cartilage wear
✔ Helps improve joint cushioning and function

3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

✔ Uses your body’s platelets to promote healing
✔ Effective for meniscus tears, tendon injuries, and arthritis
✔ Supports natural tissue regeneration

4. Genicular Nerve Block & Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

✔ Blocks pain signals from nerves around the knee
✔ Ideal for chronic knee pain and post-surgical discomfort
✔ RFA offers long-lasting relief by disrupting nerve function

When to Consider Knee Injections

If knee pain persists for weeks, limits mobility, or doesn’t improve with rest and medications, a knee injection may be the right solution. Consulting a pain specialist can help determine the best treatment plan.
