We want to help make medical costs easier for our patients. That’s why we accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most major insurance plans. If you’d like, we can take your insurance information over the phone and check your benefits for free.

Yes. We value your time and want you to focus on what matters most—taking care of yourself and your loved ones. That’s why we do a knee x-ray during your first visit, so we can assess your condition and discuss treatment options immediately.

After your initial x-ray, we’ll go over ways to manage your knee pain and slow down knee osteoarthritis. Based on your condition and medical needs, treatment options could include a knee brace, physical therapy, gentle exercise, steroid injections, hyaluronic acid injections, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections, surgery, or medications for flare-ups.

We’ll explain each option in detail during your first visit to create a treatment plan that’s right for you.

If you want to avoid knee replacement surgery, there are several non-surgical options. I suggest keeping surgery as a last option because it has higher risks compared to treatments like knee injections. Here are five treatments to consider: steroid injections, lubricant injections (hyaluronic acid), PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections, nerve pain treatment (radiofrequency ablation), and nerve stimulators.

We can talk about the best choices for you based on your health, past treatments, and insurance.

We understand concerns about the side effects of frequent steroid injections. If you haven’t tried hyaluronic acid knee injections, they’re a great alternative for pain relief and are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most major insurance plans.

A knee hyaluronic acid injection is used to relieve pain from osteoarthritis. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in the fluid that cushions your joints, especially the knees. With osteoarthritis, this fluid becomes thinner, causing more friction, pain, and joint damage.

The injection restores lubrication in the joint, reducing friction between bones. This can bring significant pain relief and improve mobility, making daily activities easier.

The number of hyaluronic acid injections needed varies based on the product and your condition. Some options require just one injection, while others may involve 3 to 5 weekly injections.

Many patients begin feeling relief within a few weeks, with effects lasting from several months up to a year.

The duration of pain relief depends on your knee's condition. Many patients start feeling relief within a few weeks, with effects lasting from several months to a year.

Many orthopedic specialists perform knee injections using basic landmarks, but we use a c-arm x-ray machine with contrast dye to ensure precise placement in the knee joint.

This method is especially helpful for patients who didn’t find relief from previous injections. It’s also important for hyaluronic acid injections since the substance doesn’t easily cross tissue membranes. Precise needle placement helps make the injection more effective, and using x-ray guidance improves accuracy, increasing the chances of positive results.

Joint fluid therapy generally has no known side effects or drug interactions. However, please let us know if you have any allergies or past reactions to medications so we can ensure the treatment is safe for you.

If you’ve had joint replacement surgery on both knees, this treatment wouldn’t be an option. However, if only one knee is replaced, we may still be able to treat the other knee.

If you still have knee pain 3-6 months after knee replacement, you may be a candidate for genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation.
