How Do You Diagnose Knee Pain?

Your knee joint is a complex and powerful joint, the largest in your body. It’s also a key figure in many of life’s most common activities, which means that a knee injury can cause you a lifetime of pain and suffering if not properly addressed.

When you come to the Advanced Relief Institute, our medical experts will run several tests on your knee to evaluate your condition and identify your specific knee issue. These tests may include specific exercises for knee pain, X-rays, ultrasound tests, and more. After the tests are complete, your doctor will create a treatment plan to get you back on your feet as quickly and painlessly as possible.

What Causes Knee Pain?

Knees have many moving parts, so an injury, disease, or age-related cellular degeneration that affects any part of the joint can cause a loss of functionality. Knee injuries and ailments are often painful and debilitating and most commonly involve ligament or cartilage damage. Injuries like a meniscus tear, sprain or tear, and hamstring tendinopathy can damage the soft tissue of the knee. Patients may also suffer from pain caused by joint diseases or wear and tear that comes with age.

These conditions include organic diseases like arthritis, patellofemoral syndrome, bursitis, or Baker’s cysts. The interventional pain management we offer at the Advanced Relief Institute can help relieve knee pain caused by the following:

Osteoarthritis of the knee
Osteochondritis dissecans of the knee
Meniscus tears
ACL or PCL tears/sprains
MCL or LCL tears/sprains
Patellofemoral (anterior knee) pain syndrome
Knee tendonitis (patellar tendonitis)
Knee bursitis
Iliotibial band syndrome
Chondromalacia patella
Achilles tendonitis
Shin splints

What Are My Interventional Pain Management Treatment Options For Knee Pain?

If your knee pain is significant, these interventions are available, we typically recommend either interventional pain management or knee replacement surgery. Given that knee replacement surgery is a fairly significant procedure, we tend to save it as a last resort. Instead, our highly experienced team will work with you to explore a variety of highly advanced, non-surgical treatment options so we can restore your full range of motion as safely and effectively as possible.

Our Interventional Pain Management Options

Interventional pain management is usually the first step in addressing knee pain because it combines treatment and testing. This process involves injecting medicines and numbing agents into the knee joint to reduce pain. This process can also identify areas where the pain is coming from. Interventional pain management treatments may include (but are not limited to):

Fluoroscopic guided steroid injection for knee pain
HYALGAN® injection for knee pain (fluoroscopic guided)
HYALGAN® injection for knee pain (ultrasound guided)
Prolotherapy treatment for chronic knee pain
Ultrasound-guided injection for knee pain

Will There Be a Recovery Period After My Interventional Knee Pain Management Treatment?

After your knee injections, you will be able to return home or to work more or less immediately. You should expect to start feeling pain relief within three to seven days.

Your knee may feel swollen or tender for a few days after your injection. You may want to avoid vigorous exercise until these symptoms fade.

What Are My Regenerative Therapy Options?

At the Advanced Relief Institute, we offer a number of regenerative therapies that may help reverse cell degradation, like PRP injections, stem cell treatment, or amniotic fluid treatment. We take a holistic approach to pain management, and our approach to cutting-edge pain relief is unlike any you’ll find elsewhere. We understand the frustration and exhaustion that can come with chronic pain. At this practice, our mission is to provide you with compassionate, personalized care that directly addresses your unique needs.
