Overview
Chronic joint pain from osteoarthritis, tendon problems or old injuries limits mobility and quality of life. Interventional pain procedures can significantly delay or avoid joint replacement surgery in many patients.
Dr. Avan Suryawanshi offers targeted joint injections, radiofrequency ablation of pain-carrying nerves around the knee (genicular RFA), and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy when appropriate.
Symptoms to watch for
- Joint pain that worsens with activity
- Morning stiffness lasting under 30 minutes
- Swelling or grinding sensation in the joint
- Difficulty climbing stairs or getting up from a chair
- Reduced range of motion
How we treat it
- Intra-articular steroid and hyaluronic acid injections
- Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation for knee OA
- Suprascapular nerve block for frozen shoulder
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
- Structured joint rehabilitation programme
Frequently asked questions
Will I still need a knee replacement later?+
These procedures can delay knee replacement by years and, in some patients, avoid it altogether. We tailor the plan to your joint condition.
Is PRP therapy backed by evidence?+
PRP has moderate evidence for early-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis and shoulder tendon problems. We use it selectively where the evidence supports benefit.
