Conditions We Treat

Knee Pain Conditions We Treat

Knee pain has many sources. These are the conditions we diagnose and treat most often.

Osteoarthritis. Cartilage wear bringing stiffness and pain, often felt first on stairs.
Meniscus Tears. Torn cartilage that causes pain, swelling, and catching when you twist.
ACL/MCL/PCL Injuries. Ligament sprains and tears that leave the knee unstable and weak.
Patellar Tendonitis. Tendon inflammation below the kneecap from running, jumping, or stairs.
Baker's Cyst. A fluid-filled cyst behind the knee causing tightness and swelling.
Knee Bursitis. Inflamed sacs that make the joint ache and swell, worst when kneeling.

Don't Wait It Out

Why Knee Pain Shouldn't Be Ignored

Untreated knee problems get harder to treat, and the risk of lasting damage rises the longer pain lingers.

Persistent, recurring pain. Pain that returns after rest and medication signals a structural problem.
A shrinking active life. Everyday activities get harder, weakening muscles and stressing the joint.
Reliance on medication. Painkillers mask symptoms without treating the cause, often needing higher doses.

Non-Surgical Care

Non-Surgical Knee Treatments

Every treatment is non-surgical. Dr. Menon performs knee injections under live ultrasound guidance, so medication reaches the exact structure causing your pain.

Ultrasound Guided Injections

Live imaging guides each injection to the exact tendon, ligament, or joint behind your pain.

Corticosteroid Injections

Anti-inflammatory injections for arthritis flares, tendonitis, and bursitis, often easing pain within days.

Viscosupplement Gel Injections

Hyaluronic-acid gel restores lost lubrication in arthritic knees, with relief often lasting around six months.

Joint and Tendon Injections

Targeted injections for irritated tendons and inflamed joint tissue in and around the knee.

Frequently Asked Questions About Knee Pain

What Are the 3 Injections for Knee Pain?

Corticosteroid for inflammation, hyaluronic-acid gel for lubrication, and regenerative options such as PRP for healing, all delivered under live ultrasound guidance.

How Long Do Knee Injections Last?

It varies. Cortisone often lasts weeks to months, gel around six months for many patients, and regenerative options several months.

Are Gel Injections for Knees Worth It?

Many patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis report meaningful relief. Gel works best earlier in arthritis and does not reverse it.

Does Insurance or Medicare Cover Knee Injections?

Coverage varies by plan and type. Corticosteroid injections are widely covered when medically indicated, and gel injections are covered by many plans once criteria are met. Medicare is accepted directly. For all other insurers, our team provides free benefits verification before your visit. We verify first on our insurance verification page.

Can Injections Help Me Avoid Knee Replacement?

For many patients, injections plus strengthening may delay surgery, sometimes by years. They are not a cure; night pain, locking, or deformity mean surgery should be discussed.

Why Does My Knee Hurt When I Climb Stairs?

Stairs load your kneecap heavily, so cartilage irritation, patellofemoral pain, and early arthritis often show there first. Persistent stair pain deserves evaluation.

Take the First Step Toward a Life Free from Knee Pain

Relief from chronic knee pain may be closer than you think. Dr. Menon's non-surgical approach helps many patients get back to what they love.
