If you’re living with persistent knee pain, you may think surgery is the only solution. But the truth is — most knee pain can be treated effectively without going under the knife. At ALGOS Multispeciality Pain Clinic, we specialize in non-surgical knee pain treatments that are safe, scientific, and tailored to your needs.
In this blog, we’ll show you how to manage and relieve knee pain the smarter way — without surgery.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain may arise from several conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis
- ACL/MCL ligament injuries
- Meniscal tears
- Tendinitis or bursitis
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome
- Post-traumatic injuries or sports strain
- Chronic wear and tear
Whether your pain is new or has lasted for months, there are effective, non-surgical options to help you recover mobility and quality of life.
The Best Non-Surgical Knee Pain Treatments
1. Medication & Topical Therapy
- Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen help reduce swelling and pain.
- Topical pain relievers, like diclofenac gel, work locally with fewer side effects.
- Neuropathic medications like pregabalin or duloxetine are useful if nerve-related pain is suspected.
2. Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
- Strengthens muscles (especially the quadriceps and hamstrings) to support the knee joint.
- Focuses on mobility, posture correction, and gait training.
- Includes manual therapy, stretching, and patellar taping for better alignment and pain control.
3. Ultrasound-Guided Injections
At ALGOS, we use ultrasound guidance to ensure precise and effective delivery of treatments such as:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Uses your blood’s healing factors to regenerate tissues and reduce inflammation.
- Prolotherapy: Stimulates natural healing of ligaments and tendons — especially useful in chronic or unstable knees.
- Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation): Restores joint lubrication and improves cushioning in osteoarthritic knees.
- Ozone Therapy: Natural, anti-inflammatory treatment gaining popularity in pain medicine.
- Corticosteroids: Provide quick relief in acute flare-ups (used judiciously).
4. Pain Management Interventions
- Genicular Nerve Blocks and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Block the small nerves around the knee that carry pain signals — especially effective in chronic knee osteoarthritis.
- These are day-care procedures and ideal for patients not fit or not ready for surgery.
5. Weight and Lifestyle Modifications
- Weight loss significantly reduces stress on the knees — every extra kilo adds 3–4 times the force on your joint.
- Incorporating low-impact exercises like swimming, cycling, or yoga can keep you active without straining the knee.
- An anti-inflammatory diet rich in antioxidants supports healing from within.
6. Supportive Aids
- Knee braces and orthotic insoles help stabilize the joint and reduce strain.
- In advanced cases, assistive devices like a cane may improve mobility and confidence while walking.
