What is the Best Knee Treatment in New Jersey for Chronic Knee Pain?

All of the treatment plans at Pain Treatment Specialists are customized based on each patient’s knee pain concerns. During your initial consultation, your knee pain doctor listens closely to your knee pain issues, activity levels, and areas of pain. After a physical examination, your pain specialist determines the cause of your knee pain and outlines a course of treatment that provides relief from your chronic pain. All of our treatments for knee pain are minimally invasive, and do not include knee surgery unless deemed medically necessary. At our cutting-edge pain clinics in NJ, you’ll find the following knee pain treatments:

  • Physical Therapy: Physical therapy increases your knee’s overall strength and range of motion, which helps stabilize the knee and prevent future injuries. Your physical therapist uses specific exercises like wall sits, weight lifting, stretches, massage therapy, and heat and cold treatments to reduce pain and swelling in your affected knee while also increasing its strength and stability.
  • Steroid Injections: Steroid injections are one of the most conservtaive treatments for knee pain, but also one of the most effective. This targeted pain treatment is administered through an injection. Your knee pain doctor identifies the precise area for injection, then sterilizes the site and uses a topical numbing agent. The corticosteroid provides immediate relief from pain and inflammation, and you’ll be back on your feet right after the appointment. The results from a steroid injection last for several weeks, and sometimes months.
  • Nerve blocks: A genicular nerve block is often the next step if steroid injections do not provide long-lasting relief. Your pain specialist uses a special x-ray to find your knee’s genicular nerves, which are responsible for transmitting pain signals to your brain. When these nerves are numbed with a local anesthetic, your brain doesn’t sense these pain signals. Typically, 2-3 injections around the knee are needed for effective pain relief.

Knee treatment in New Jersey doesn’t need to be painful or invasive! Let the knee pain doctors at Pain Treatment Specialists create a customized treatment plan that works to address your specific knee pain concerns.

What are the Best Ways to Stabilize the Knee Through At Home Treatments?

You can find some pain relief and also stabilize the knee through some at home knee pain treatments. These tips help make your pain more manageable, and also compliment some of the minimally invasive treatments you’ll complete at Pain Treatment Specialists. One of the most common methods for treating knee pain is the RICE method. This stands for “rest, ice, compress, and elevate.” When used together, they provide some relief from pain and swelling, while requiring little to no special equipment or training on your end.

Rest your knee whenever you can, but still remain active. How can you do this? Instead of going for a run on hard pavement, opt for a yoga class that puts minimal stress on your knee. Ice your knee in 20 minute intervals or whenever sore to reduce swelling and pain. Use a compression bandage or brace to stabilize the knee and provide additional support, especially if you know you’ll be on your feet a lot that day. Elevate your knee with pillows or a chair to reduce swelling and pressure.

Over the counter pain medicines like aspirin or ibuprofen are also effective for short-term pain relief, as long as you don’t exceed the recommended daily dosage.

Contact the pain specialists at Pain Treatment Specialists to see how their minimally invasive knee pain treatments supplement these at-home remedies.
