Let’s look at the top 5 knee treatments recommended by expert knee pain doctors.

Knee Steroid Injections

Steroid injections are usually the first line of treatment. A top knee pain specialist ny 2020 can use a combination of local anesthetic and corticosteroid medicine to directly target knee joint pain. The local anesthetic ensures the knee joint is numb and the corticosteroid medicine reduces inflammation and subsequent pain in the knee joint. Steroid injections enable fast, simple and highly effective pain relief that can last for long periods of time. Some individuals even receive 2-3 steroid injections for best results.

Genicular Nerve Block

A genicular nerve block (also known as a ‘G’ block) is when a top pain doctor nyc uses local anesthetic to ‘block’ pain signals from being sent to the brain via the genicular (sensory) nerves in the knee joint. G blocks can also help pain doctors assess how effective a treatment can be. In this way, G blocks can be used for both diagnostic and therapeutic reasons.

Radiofrequency Ablation of the Genicular Nerve

Radiofrequency ablation is an excellent treatment for knee pain. It has helped many individuals avoid the use of steroid medicine or invasive surgeries.

Radiofrequency ablation is when a knee pain specialist ny 2020 uses a small generator to transmit radiofrequency energy to the knee joint. The radiofrequency energy is sent in small currents. Once the radiofrequency energy reaches the knee joint, it targets the genicular (sensory) nerves located in the joint. The radiofrequency energy heats up the genicular nerves in the knee joint and deactivates them. This stops the genicular nerves sending pain signals from the knee joint to the brain.

Platelet Rich Plasma Injections

Prp treatment is an exciting and innovative area of pain medicine. It describes when a top knee pain specialist ny 2020 combines the most advanced forms of regenerative medicine with a holistic approach to healthcare.

During this procedure, a pain doctor nyc draws up a small volume of your blood. This is then put into a machine called a centrifuge. The centrifuge condenses the platelets in the blood so that there is a high concentration of them. The condensed platelets are then re-injected into the knee joint to stimulate the growth of healthy new cells.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Hyaluronic acid injections describe when a pain doctor injects hyaluronic acid directly into the knee joint to alleviate joint pain. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of joint fluid. Injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the knee joint can increase the amount of fluid in the knee joint which is helpful for conditions like osteoarthritis. This is because osteoarthritis can lead to painful, stiff and inflamed joints due to friction that occurs as a result of wear and tear over time. Injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the knee joint can therefore combat the friction and increase the amount of lubrication in the knee joint.
