- Tendonitis (patellar or quadriceps tendon)
- Bursitis
- Post-surgical knee pain (including after knee replacement)
Symptoms of Discomfort

Our Approach to Knee Pain Diagnosis
At Kansas Pain Consultants, we focus on identifying the true source of your discomfort.
Your evaluation may include:
- Detailed history and physical exam
- Review of imaging (X-ray, MRI if needed)
- Functional assessment of joint movement
Non-Surgical Knee Pain Treatments in Wichita
We offer advanced, minimally invasive options for knee pain relief:
Conservative Treatment Options
- Physical therapy coordination
- Anti-inflammatory medications when appropriate
- Activity modification and strengthening programs
Image-Guided Knee Injections
- Corticosteroid injections for inflammation and pain relief
- Viscosupplementation (gel injections) for knee arthritis
- Diagnostic injections to confirm the pain source
Advanced Interventional Treatments
- Genicular nerve blocks to identify nerve-related knee pain
- Radiofrequency ablation (genicular RFA) for longer-lasting relief
Genicular RFA is a highly effective option for patients with arthritis who want to avoid or delay replacement.
Persistent Pain After Knee Replacement (CRPS & Nerve Pain)
While replacement surgery is successful for many patients, some individuals continue to experience chronic discomfort after surgery. In certain cases, this may be related to nerve irritation or conditions such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
Symptoms may include:
- Severe, persistent pain out of proportion to exam findings
- Burning or hypersensitive pain
- Swelling, temperature, or color changes
- Difficulty bearing weight or moving the joint
At Kansas Pain Consultants, we offer advanced neuromodulation therapies for these challenging cases of discomfort:
Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation
- Targets specific nerves responsible for knee pain
- Highly effective for focal pain syndromes like CRPS
- Provides precise, targeted pain relief
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)
- Targets nerves around the knee joint
- Minimally invasive with trial options before permanent placement
- Can significantly reduce pain and improve function
These therapies are particularly valuable for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments.

- Knee pain persists despite rest or therapy
