Knee Injections

Knee injections are medical procedures commonly employed to manage pain, inflammation, or stiffness in the knee joint. During this intervention, a doctor carefully administers medication directly into the knee using a thin needle. These injections can include medications like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to promote healing. Knee injections are typically performed in an outpatient setting, offering patients a convenient option for addressing knee-related concerns. The goal is to provide relief from symptoms and enhance joint function without needing to perform a surgery.
