What is knee pain?

Knee pain is an uncomfortable feeling in your knee joint, which consists of tendons, ligaments, bones, muscles, and cartilage. Diseases, injuries, and age-related wear and tear can cause joint discomfort. Knee pain injections offer you the better quality of life you deserve.

What are the symptoms of knee problems?

Knee pain could present as one or more of the following symptoms:

• Weakness
• Instability
• Warmth
• Redness
• Swelling
• Stiffness
• Decreased range of motion
• Crunching or popping sounds
• Knee instability
• Reduced mobility
• Inability to fully straighten your leg

If your symptoms are severe or don’t go away with home remedies, consider knee pain injections with the JAM Wellness Clinics team.

Why might I need knee injections?

Knee injections offer a variety of benefits for your health and overall well-being. They can speed up healing, improve knee joint functioning, allow you to participate in physical therapy without pain, and improve mobility. Having less knee pain makes it easier to stay active, which reduces your risk of obesity and chronic diseases.

What are the different types of knee pain injections?

Some of the many types of knee pain injections available at JAM Wellness Clinics include:

Hyaluronic acid injections

Hyaluronic acid injections help lubricate your knee joints to improve mobility and reduce pain. Periodic repeat injections offer long-lasting relief.

Corticosteroid injections

Corticosteroids are knee pain injections that reduce inflammation and pain associated with it. These injections are common treatments for arthritis flare-ups.

Which knee pain injections are best for me?

To find out which knee pain injections are the best option for you, the JAM Wellness Clinics team discusses your medical history, reviews your symptoms, and completes a physical exam to assess knee joint function, structure, and range of motion.

They could suggest you complete blood tests, urine tests, X-rays, or other imaging procedures to diagnose the root cause of your discomfort and develop a highly effective treatment.

You may benefit from periodic knee pain injections every few months (or longer in some cases) to experience long-lasting relief. After a period of healing, you might no longer need the injections.
