Knee pain results from an injury, such as football, volleyball, basketball, or it develops over time, with an increasingly stiff knee and swollen knee. Knee instability is the result of weakness or tears in the ligaments and tendons in and surrounding the knee joint. This instability is under diagnosed and mismanaged leading to unnecessary knee scopes and knee replacement surgery, or worse yet, corticosteroid injections that accelerate existing soft tissue damage if repeated injections are given.
Treatments for Knee Pain
Regenerative injections stimulate healing at the site of injury. Injections are dose and site specific signals for the body to send stem cells and white blood cells to the area to heal any existing damage from old injuries and developed arthritis. During this time patients benefit from also adding topical agents, tylenol, prescription pain killers, alternative therapies, and physical therapy. The sooner patients do regenerative injections after injury or arthritis develops the better results they achieve. Patient with advanced arthritis or bone on bone knee pain also benefit from injections.
