Knee Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid)

Reduce knee pain and improve mobility with specialized joint injections at CDL Rehabilitation in Miami.

What Knee Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Are

Knee joint injections are a treatment that delivers steroids, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or hyaluronic acid into the knee joint to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and alleviate pain.

Treatment Description

This procedure targets the knee joint to provide pain relief and improve function. Steroid injections reduce inflammation, PRP promotes tissue healing, and hyaluronic acid improves joint lubrication and mobility.

What It Includes

The procedure includes the injection of corticosteroids, PRP, or hyaluronic acid into the knee joint, typically under imaging guidance (such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy) for accurate placement. Sessions usually last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Knee Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Used For?

Knee joint injections are effective for treating conditions like osteoarthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, ligament injuries, meniscus tears, and post-surgical pain.

Osteoarthritis
Reduces pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the knee joint caused by arthritis, improving mobility and joint function.
Tendonitis
Alleviates inflammation and pain in the knee tendons, particularly in conditions like patellar tendonitis or quadriceps tendonitis.
Bursitis
Eases pain and swelling in the knee bursa, improving joint movement and reducing discomfort from conditions like prepatellar or infrapatellar bursitis.
Ligament Injuries
Helps manage pain and promote healing in knee ligament injuries, such as ACL or MCL sprains, by reducing inflammation and supporting tissue regeneration.
Post-Surgical Pain
Reduces pain and inflammation following knee surgery, improving recovery and restoring joint function.
Meniscus Tears
Provides relief from pain and inflammation caused by meniscus tears, improving mobility and reducing discomfort during recovery.
Knee Impingement Syndrome
Relieves pain and inflammation caused by knee impingement or joint irregularities, improving function and reducing pain during movement.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Knee Pain
Without knee joint injections, chronic pain caused by inflammation or joint degeneration may persist, affecting mobility and daily activities.
Reduced Range of Motion
Lack of treatment can lead to stiffness in the knee joint, making it difficult to bend, extend, or walk comfortably.
Prolonged Inflammation
Untreated inflammation in the knee can worsen over time, causing increased discomfort and slowing recovery.
Weakness in the Leg
Failing to address knee pain may result in muscle weakness, affecting stability and increasing the risk of falls or injuries.
Risk of Chronic Joint Damage
Without timely intervention, joint conditions may progress to severe arthritis or degeneration, potentially requiring surgical treatments in the future.
