Managing Arthritis Pain Without Surgery

Managing Arthritis Pain Without Surgery

Managing Arthritis Pain Without Surgery

June 16, 2026 Courtney Travis, NP

Arthritis affects more than 54 million adults in the United States, making it one of the most common causes of chronic pain. While joint replacement surgery is a well-known treatment option for advanced arthritis, many patients can achieve significant pain relief through non-surgical approaches. At Interventional Pain Consultants, we specialize in helping patients manage arthritis pain and improve joint function without going under the knife.

Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis is not a single disease but a term that covers over 100 different types of joint disorders. The most common forms are osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) and rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition). Both cause inflammation, pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion in affected joints.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

  • 1. Viscosupplementation (Gel Injections)

    Also known as hyaluronic acid injections, viscosupplementation adds lubricating fluid to arthritic joints, particularly the knee. This can reduce pain and improve mobility for six to twelve months. The procedure is performed in-office and requires minimal downtime.

  • 2. Corticosteroid Injections

    These powerful anti-inflammatory injections can provide rapid relief for arthritic flare-ups. While not a permanent solution, they can help patients get through painful episodes and participate in physical therapy more comfortably.

  • 3. Regenerative Medicine

    Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses your body's own growth factors to promote healing in damaged joints. Early research suggests PRP may slow the progression of arthritis and improve joint function. At Interventional Pain Consultants, we offer regenerative medicine options as part of our comprehensive approach to arthritis care.

  • 4. Radiofrequency Ablation for Joint Pain

    For patients with arthritis-related pain originating from specific nerves, RFA can provide lasting relief by interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain.

  • 5. Lifestyle Modifications

    Weight management, low-impact exercise, and physical therapy remain cornerstones of arthritis management. Our team works with patients to develop a holistic plan that complements interventional treatments.

The Interventional Pain Consultants Approach

Every patient is different, which is why we develop individualized treatment plans based on your specific arthritis type, severity, and lifestyle needs. Our goal is to help you manage pain effectively while avoiding or delaying surgery whenever possible.
