Overview
Knee injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the joint to reduce pain from arthritis and inflammation. They can be repeated over time and are often combined with physical therapy and weight-bearing optimization.
When pain persists despite conservative care, genicular rhizotomy offers a next-step option. This image-guided procedure uses radiofrequency energy to disrupt the small sensory nerves around the knee that transmit pain, providing longer-term relief without surgery.
