Knee pain is a common condition affecting millions of Americans every year. It is thought that our modern, sedentary lifestyles are contributing to rising rates of knee issues. However, there are many questions that might be on your mind regarding knee pain. That’s why we will look at answering the following questions:

  • How is knee pain treated?
  • What causes knee pain?
  • What are the symptoms of knee problems?
  • Can I prevent knee pain?
  • How much does knee treatment cost?

Nowadays, many orthopedic surgeons can be too quick to suggest knee surgery and narcotics for knee pain. However, knee surgery is inherently risky and is not always the best way to maximize your health. Some of the most common risks of knee surgery include:

  • Blood clots
  • Increased risk of stroke/ heart attack
  • Wound infections
  • Long recovery periods
  • Potential over-reliance on narcotics, NSAIDs and opioids

In some cases, knee surgery can create more problems than it solves! That’s why it’s vital to explore the latest minimally invasive treatment options for knee pain. The best knee treatment in midtown manhattan avoids the risks associated with surgery and narcotics. Instead, patients benefit from a customized care plan centered around a minimally invasive treatment option. Best of all, you won’t have to worry about the risks associated with invasive surgeries or narcotics.

At this state of the art clinic in midtown manhattan, you will spend time with one of our board certified pain specialists who trained at Harvard Medical School. Our expert pain doctors will then create a unique care plan centered around a minimally invasive knee pain treatment option.

If you want to find out more about the safest and healthiest treatment options, please don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation. This expert pain clinic is conveniently located in the heart of the Big Apple, near The Empire State Building.

For now, let’s look in more detail at the latest non-invasive treatment options provided by expert pain doctors.

How Is Knee Pain Treated?

So far, we’ve looked at why it’s important to explore the latest minimally invasive treatment options for knee pain in new york ny. Now let’s take some time to look at these exciting and innovative treatments in more detail:

  • Steroid Injections –  steroid medicine can be injected directly into the knee joint capsule. This targets the root cause of the knee pain and reduces inflammation and pain in the knee joint. Some individuals receive 2-3 steroid injections for maximum effect.
  • Platelet Rich Plasma Injections –  prp treatment is when pain doctors draw up a small volume of your blood. This blood sample is then run through a machine called a centrifuge to condense the platelets. The high concentration of platelets is then re-injected directly into the knee joint. This encourages the growth of healthy new cells and tissues in the joint of the knee.
  • Hyaluronic Acid Injections – if an individual struggles with knee arthritis, the knee joint may be inflamed and painful as a result of wear and tear over time. The repeated movement of the knee joint over time can wear down the cartilage on the ends of the bones in the knee. This causes friction in the joint and bony spurs might even form. Hyaluronic acid can be injected directly into the knee joint to increase the volume of joint fluid in the knee. This can alleviate knee joint pain and improve mobility in the knee.
  • Radiofrequency Ablation – rfa is an excellent treatment and is recommended for chronic knee pain and those wanting to avoid steroid medicine. During rfa treatment, a pain doctor uses a transmitter to send small currents of radiofrequency energy to the genicular nerves in the knee joint. This heats up and deactivates the genicular nerves. As a result, the genicular nerves are unable to send pain signals to the brain.
  • Genicular Nerve Block – a G block can be used to help diagnose as well as treat knee conditions. During a G block, a pain doctor injects local anesthetic near the genicular nerves in the knee joint. This ‘numbs’ the genicular nerves and stops them sending pain signals from the knee joint to the brain.

Best of all, these non-invasive treatment choices are a safe and low risk way to heal painful knee issues. You won’t have to worry about the risks associated with invasive knee procedures or the negative health consequences associated with narcotics.

Now let’s take a look at some of the most common causes and symptoms of knee issues.

What Causes Knee Pain?

There are many different causes of knee pain. Knee pain could result from an acute injury sustained during sports. However, it could also be due to an underlying health condition. Either way, it is highly recommended you seek medical advice from a qualified pain physician. If not, your knee pain could get even worse or lead to further issues down the line.

Below are some of the most common causes of knee pain:

  • Meniscus tears – meniscus tears are common sports injuries. They occur when the ‘C’ shaped pieces of rubbery cartilage that cushion the joint are partially or fully torn. Meniscus tears can occur when an individual turns too quickly while bearing full weight on the knee.

  • ACL injury  – the anterior cruciate ligament is a large ligament connecting the shin bone to the thigh bone. The ACL can become torn or sprained when an individual changes direction too quickly. It is a common sports medicine injury.
  • Knee arthritis – rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition) and osteoarthritis (wear and tear over time) can lead to inflamed, painful and swollen knee joints.
  • Bursitis – the bursa are fat-filled sacs that cushion the joint of the knee. Bursitis occurs when the bursa become inflamed and this results in painful knee joints.
