Based on the type and severity of knee problems you experience, your Restore Health pain management specialist might recommend:

Home remedies

For a minor knee injury or pain, your doctor may suggest rest, ice, compression, and elevation, or wearing a knee brace when you’re physically active.

Physical therapy

Physical therapy sessions with a specialist can stretch and strengthen tissues around your knee joint to stabilize it and reduce pain.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

PRP uses growth factors from your blood to stimulate your body’s natural healing response and regenerate tissue. It’s a holistic treatment for knee pain and other joint injuries. Your provider takes a blood sample from your arm, spins it in a centrifuge, and injects it into painful areas.

Injections

In addition to or instead of PRP injections, your pain management provider might recommend steroid injections, fluoroscopic-guided HYALGAN® viscosupplementation, or anesthetic injections to reduce swelling or better lubricate your joints.

Radiofrequency ablation

Radiofrequency ablation uses targeted energy to heat nerves and block pain signals to your brain.

Surgical procedures

If you experience a severe knee injury or pain, your provider might suggest you undergo a surgical procedure, such as arthroscopic knee surgery or a knee replacement.
