Knee Joint Injection
Because the knee joint supports our body weight through several types of movement (bending, flexing, and twisting), it is prone to traumatic injury. Knee joint injections are a minimally invasive way to help ease your pain and restore the knee’s range of motion. They deliver relief from pain and inflammation directly into the affected area of your knee.
How does it work?
The most common conditions that knee joint injections help treat are chronic arthritis and acute injury in the joint. These injections are minimally-invasive and performed in an outpatient setting, providing an alternative to surgery.
A number of solutions can be injecting depending on the pathology of your knee pain including anti-inflammatory cortisone, viscosupplementation, platelet rich plasma (PRP), etc. Overall, pain relief from knee injections can allow you to be more mobile and engage in an active, healthy lifestyle.They’re best done in concert with other treatments like physical therapy.
