Knee Injection in Southern Orange County, CA

Alleviate your chronic knee pain with knee injections at Maasumi Headache & Spine Care.

The Best-in-Class Knee Treatment Near You

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.

Who might benefit?

Who might benefit?

  • Patients with conditions such as bursitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Knee neuritis, etc.
  • To deliver therapeutic medications directly onto the knee joints that help lubricate the joint, reducing pain.
  • Patients who might benefit from reducing inflammation in the knee joint that helps minimize pain and improve joint mobility.

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.

Types of Knee Injection we provide

Corticosteroid Injection

Relieves pain and inflammation resulting from osteoarthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, acute monoarticular gout or pseudogout, and rheumatoid arthritic knees

Hyaluronic Acid Injection

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Injection

How Long Do the Effects of a Knee Injection Last?

It depends on the type of knee injection you receive. While corticosteroid knee injections last for 6 to 12 weeks, hyaluronic acid injections may last for two to six months and PRP injections may last longer than six months.

Here is what you can expect during knee injection at Maasumi Headache & Spine Care:

  • Preparation - We will ask the patient to lie down on the procedure table and clean and drape their knee to avoid infections and numb the treatment area with local anesthesia.
  • Imaging - We may use ultrasound in some types of knee injections to ensure proper needle placement.
  • Injection - Using a sterile needle that is inserted via the skin and joint space, we will inject the medication into the knee joint.
  • Post-injection care - We will ask the patient to rest their knee for a few minutes following the injection and then gently move it to help disseminate the medication. We may also apply an ice pack on the injected site to reduce swelling and discomfort.
