Our knees play a vital role in our ability to walk, move, run, and participate in various activities. However, as we age, as a result of overuse or certain medical conditions, they show some signs of deterioration, causing pain and discomfort. Though not all knee pain is severe, some knee injuries and conditions, such as osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease) if left untreated, can significantly impact our daily lives by causing intense pain, joint damage, and disability.
While there are several treatment options available, knee injections have emerged as an effective solution for persistent knee discomfort. At Maasumi Headache & Spine Care, we treat anyone with pain including knee pain. We offer treatments that may help alleviate your pain, reduce inflammation, and promote functionality, hence improving mobility and quality of life.
Knee injections do not just reduce your pain and inflammation, but also help avoid or delay the need for invasive procedures. These injections contain corticosteroids, platelet-rich plasma, or hyaluronic acid to reduce pain and promote healing in the affected knee joint. In some cases, these injections can even slow down or halt the progression of degenerative joint conditions like osteoarthritis, prolonging the lifespan of the joint and delaying the need for surgical intervention.
