Knee pain is the second most common musculoskeletal complaint in India, and in Delhi's aging population, osteoarthritis of the knee is reaching epidemic proportions.
At Eshna Pain & Palliative Centre, we offer the full spectrum of evidence-based, non-surgical knee pain treatments — from targeted injections to PRP therapy to genicular nerve block.
• Osteoarthritis of the knee (most common)
• Rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory arthritis
• Meniscal tears and degeneration
• Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee)
• Bursitis (pes anserine, prepatellar)
• Post-surgical knee pain
• Tendinopathies (patellar tendinopathy)
Corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid (viscosupplementation) injected precisely into the knee joint under ultrasound guidance. More accurate and effective than blind injections.
PRP uses your own blood's growth factors to stimulate healing in the knee joint. Particularly effective for mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis and soft tissue injuries. Provides longer-lasting relief than steroid injections with regenerative potential.
The genicular nerves carry pain signals from the knee joint. Blocking these nerves with local anesthetic (diagnostic) or ablating them with radiofrequency (therapeutic) provides significant, long-lasting knee pain relief — especially for patients with severe OA who are not surgical candidates.
A minimally invasive procedure that "turns off" the pain signals from the knee without surgery. Evidence-based and effective in patients with moderate-to-severe knee OA. Duration of relief: 6–18 months.
Q: Can knee arthritis be treated without surgery?
A: Yes. Mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis can be effectively managed with PRP therapy, hyaluronic acid injections, and genicular nerve blocks. Even severe OA patients who are poor surgical candidates can achieve meaningful pain relief with genicular radiofrequency ablation.
Q: Which is better — PRP or steroid injection for knee pain?
A: Steroid injections provide faster, short-term relief (2–6 weeks). PRP takes longer to show effect (4–6 weeks) but provides longer-lasting relief (6–12 months) with a regenerative rather than purely anti-inflammatory mechanism. The choice depends on your age, severity, and goals.
Q: Is knee replacement the only option for advanced arthritis?
A: Not necessarily. Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation is a proven, non-surgical option for severe knee OA — especially for patients who cannot undergo surgery due to age, medical comorbidities, or personal preference.
