What Doctor to See for a Knee Injury?

If you have an injury, you might wonder which type of doctor you need to contact. General physicians can deal with basic injuries, but they don’t have specialized training in complex knee injuries or chronic knee pain. Orthopedic doctors have specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the bones, cartilage, joints, and muscles, and they can usually treat acute and chronic knee pain. But you should ideally contact interventional pain and spine specialists for your knee injury in New York.

Interventional pain and spine specialists are the best types of pain doctors. While chronic pain specialists only provide opioids to mask the symptoms of your pain, interventional pain specialists diagnose and treat the root cause of your conditions. They have specialized training in the diagnosis of the root cause of your knee pain and injuries. They perform complex imaging tests, such as ultrasounds, MRIs, and CT scans, to examine the bones, joints, cartilages, tendons, and muscles around your knees, based on which they curate a personalized treatment plan.

Interventional pain and spine specialists usually provide minimally invasive knee pain treatments, such as epidural injections, nerve ablations, and nerve blocks. They also use imaging methods to deliver medications into the precise areas, minimizing the risk of harsh side effects or complications. If you have knee injuries or knee pain, please find reliable board-certified interventional pain specialists near your location.

“After suffering from spine-related pain for many years, I was referred to Dr. Volney by a friend. He was the first doctor to successfully provide significant relief for my pain, for which I am very grateful. He presents options in a clear way and is very easy to talk with. He also has a real concern for his patients; he even went out of his way to reschedule an appointment and stay late so that I could receive treatment before traveling. I highly recommend Dr. Volney.”

During your initial consultation, the knee doctor will examine your knees, ask you to move your legs in various motions, discuss your symptoms, and administer various imaging tests, such as CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds. The knee doctor will diagnose the root cause of your knee problems and curate a personalized knee treatment plan.

Depending on the type and severity of your knee injury, the pain doctor will curate a personalized treatment plan. Your treatment may start with conservative solutions, such as physical therapy, rest, ice application, and elevation. But if conservative solutions don’t work, the knee doctor may provide minimally invasive treatments, such as epidural injections, nerve blocks, and ablation.

After your knee treatment, the knee doctor will provide thorough aftercare guidelines to help you recover. You may have to avoid strenuous workouts and activities for a few days or weeks, depending on your condition. Some people also need to undergo regular physical therapy, and some also need additional follow-up sessions. The specific details vary from one individual to the next.
