Pain Relief & Treatments

Knee pain relief and treatments aim to reduce discomfort, restore function, and address underlying causes. Acute pain from injuries often involves RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation), NSAIDs (ibuprofen), or analgesics. Chronic pain (e.g., arthritis) may require physical therapy to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and correct biomechanics. Corticosteroid injections reduce inflammation, while hyaluronic acid injections lubricate joints. Advanced options include regenerative therapies (PRP, stem cells) to promote healing. For nerve-related pain, radiofrequency ablation disrupts pain signals. Severe cases may need surgery (e.g., joint replacement). Alternative therapies like acupuncture or TENS units offer adjunct relief. Personalized plans balance medication, activity modification, and lifestyle adjustments. Persistent pain with red flags (fever, deformity) warrants immediate evaluation to rule out infections or structural damage.
