Understanding Knee Arthritis and Chronic Knee Pain
Knee pain can develop from cartilage wear, long-standing arthritis, old injuries, or simply years of everyday use. When the protective joint fluid breaks down, the bones begin to grind and inflammation increases — causing stiffness, swelling, and pain with walking or stairs.
Symptoms We Commonly Treat
-
Aching or throbbing knee pain
-
Morning stiffness
-
Grinding, catching, or clicking
-
Swelling after activity
-
Trouble walking long distances
-
Difficulty with stairs or kneeling
Why Gel Injections Help
Joint gel injections (viscosupplementation) act as a lubricant and cushion inside the knee joint. This reduces friction, improves mobility, and may help delay or avoid knee replacement surgery.
Fast Relief in Three Steps - How Our Treatment Works
01.
Consultation & Evaluation
We review your knee symptoms, prior treatments, and any imaging you’ve had. If needed, we can order updated X-rays.
02.
Precision Ultrasound Guidance
We use live ultrasound to guide the injection into the correct spot. This improves accuracy and comfort.
​
03.
Gel Injection Treatment
The procedure takes only a few minutes. Most patients experience little to no downtime and can resume normal activity shortly afterward.
