The knee is very important in helping us stay active, whether that be walking, jogging, or running. It connects the thigh with our lower leg. It is one of the largest joints in the human body. Unfortunately, the knee joint can be vulnerable to injury and development of osteoarthritis. Other reasons for knee pain can be related to sprains, ligament/tendon injuries, meniscus tears, bursitis. Sometimes irritated nerves around the knee, or even those located in your spinal cord can lead to knee pain. It’s crucial to address knee pain quickly so you can get back to performing your activities of daily living and regular fitness without pain.
At Capital Interventional Pain & Spine Center, we will perform a full physical exam to get to the root of your pain. There are a variety of treatment options for these conditions that can cause knee pain, and we will work together to decrease this pain and improve your function.
