Knee Pain Q & A

What causes knee pain?

Knee pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages. It may develop gradually over time or suddenly after an injury. Common causes include:

Arthritis
Ligament injuries (sprains)
Tendon injuries (strains)
Tendinitis
Meniscus tears
Overuse from repetitive movements or sports
Bursitis
Patellofemoral pain syndrome

Sometimes, knee pain can stem from problems in the hip or lower back. At Midwest Innovative Pain Management (MIPM) in Dyer, Indiana, the focus is on finding the root cause of your knee pain so you can benefit from the most effective, lasting relief.

How is knee pain diagnosed?

Knee pain diagnosis begins with a comprehensive evaluation that includes a physical exam, discussion of your symptoms, and review of imaging, such as X-rays or MRIs, as needed.

Understanding whether your pain is due to joint damage, inflammation, or nerve irritation helps the Midwest Innovative Pain Management team create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle.

The goal is not just to reduce pain but to restore your mobility and help you return to the activities you enjoy.

What treatment options are available for knee pain?

Midwest Innovative Pain Management specializes in nonsurgical, minimally invasive treatments to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Your care plan could include:

Medications

The team may recommend or prescribe anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, or nerve pain agents to ease discomfort and reduce swelling.

Injections

Corticosteroid injections reduce inflammation directly inside the joint for short- to mid-term relief. Viscosupplementation (gel injections) helps lubricate and cushion the joint, especially for arthritis-related pain. Genicular nerve blocks temporarily interrupt pain signals from the knee to the brain.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and other regenerative injections use your body’s natural healing properties to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

Genicular radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

RFA provides longer-lasting relief by gently disrupting nerves that transmit knee pain signals.

Physical therapy and lifestyle modifications

Improving joint strength, flexibility, and alignment is key. The team often recommends physical therapy, low-impact exercise, and weight management to reduce pressure on the knees. Bracing or orthotics may also help stabilize the joint during movement.

If your knee pain persists for more than a couple of weeks, interferes with daily activities, or hasn’t responded to basic treatments, it’s time to see a specialist.
