Knee Injections
Knee Injections at Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists
If you’re suffering from chronic knee pain caused by arthritis, injury, or other conditions, knee injections can offer significant relief. These minimally invasive injections are designed to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve joint function, allowing you to move more comfortably and return to daily activities.
Conditions Treated with Knee Injections
Knee injections are often used to treat the following conditions:
- Osteoarthritis: The wearing down of cartilage in the knee joint, leading to pain and stiffness.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease causing inflammation of the joint lining.
- Meniscus Tears: Injury to the cartilage in the knee.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the knee, often from overuse or injury.
Benefits of Knee Injections
Immediate Pain Relief: The local anesthetic provides quick relief, while the corticosteroid works to reduce inflammation.
Non-Surgical Treatment: Knee injections can help you avoid or delay the need for surgery, such as knee replacement.
Improved Mobility: Reducing pain and inflammation allows for better movement, improving your quality of life.
Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their regular activities shortly after the procedure, with only a few days of limited strenuous activity recommended.
