Knee arthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic joint pain, especially in older adults. The condition results from the gradual breakdown of cartilage, leading to stiffness, swelling, and difficulty performing daily activities. While medications, physiotherapy, and injections may provide temporary relief, and surgery may not always be an option for everyone, an advanced minimally invasive technique known as RFA for knee arthritis pain relief treatment in Chennai is proving to be an effective solution. RFA targets the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals in the knee, offering long-lasting pain relief and improved mobility without major surgery.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can be effective for managing chronic knee pain, especially when caused by osteoarthritis or nerve irritation. The procedure uses heat generated by radio waves to target specific nerves, reducing pain signals. While it does not cure the underlying joint problem, many patients experience significant pain relief lasting several months to over a year.
The best treatment for arthritic knees depends on severity and patient health. Conservative options include physical therapy, weight management, pain medications, and injections like corticosteroids, PRP, or hyaluronic acid. In severe cases, surgical options such as partial or total knee replacement may be required. Early intervention and a tailored treatment plan improve mobility and quality of life.
Yes, RFA can help with arthritis-related pain by disrupting pain signals from the affected joint. It is most effective for patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis who have not responded to medications or injections. RFA does not reverse arthritis or repair cartilage but can significantly reduce pain, improve joint function, and delay the need for surgery.
