FAQs
Which doctor should I see for knee pain in Delhi?
See a knee specialist in Delhi (orthopedic/orthopaedic surgeon with a focus on knee). Most patients improve with conservative care; procedures are considered only when needed.
Do I always need an MRI for knee pain?
No. We start with a clinical exam and X-rays if arthritis is suspected. MRI is useful for mechanical symptoms (locking/catching) or instability after injury.
ACL tear vs meniscus tear—what’s the difference?
ACL tears cause instability/giving way. Meniscus tears often cause locking/catching and joint-line pain. Treatment ranges from rehab and bracing to arthroscopy or ACL reconstruction.
When is knee replacement the right choice?
For advanced arthritis with daily pain and stiffness despite rehab/injections/medications. Learn more: Total Knee Replacement in Delhi.
How do I choose the best knee specialist in Delhi?
Look for experience, subspecialty focus (knee arthroscopy/replacement), hospital affiliations, and a conservative-first approach. Clear explanations and realistic recovery timelines are key.
Can knee pain be treated without surgery?
Often yes—physiotherapy, activity modification, weight optimization, bracing, and injections (when indicated) are effective for many patients.
